Abstract
⺠Microwave irradiation enhanced the disintegration and digestibility of microalgae. ⺠Algal biomass solubilisation increased by 800% with microwave pretreatment. ⺠The main parameter influencing biomass solubilisation was the applied specific energy. ⺠Increased biogas production rate (27-75%) and yield (12-78%) with pretreated biomass. ⺠Linear correlation between microalgae solubilisation and biogas yield.
