Integrated Vertical Photobioreactor System for Carbon Dioxide Removal Using Phototrophic Microalgae

Year: 2013

Type: article

Abstract: A vertical photobioreactor containing the microalgae Scenedesmus obliquus is a highly efficient system for converting carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) into biomass. The use of photobioreactor for CO 2 mitigation has been explored using microalgae as photosynthetic microorganism. The growth rate ( m , h -1 ) were 0.03; 0.13; 0.20; 0.09 at treatment of 0%, 2%, 5% and 7% pure CO 2 supplied, respectively during 16 days experiment. The maximum dried biomass (gr ml -1 ) was 1.7 at 2% pure CO 2 . The highest CO 2 removal effiency (%) was 34 at 2% pure CO 2 supply. The results showed that the photobioreactor gave a high efficiency of CO 2 removal by phototrophic microalgae culture.
