Determination of Total Solids and Ash in Algal Biomass: Laboratory Analytical Procedure (LAP): Issue Date: December 2, 2013; Revision Date: December 29, 2015

Research output: NRELTechnical Report

Abstract

This procedure describes the methods used to determine the amount of moisture or total solids present in a freeze-dried algal biomass sample, as well as the ash content. A traditional convection oven drying procedure is covered for total solids content, and a dry oxidation method at 575 deg. C is covered for ash content.
