Tetraselmis suecica culture for CO2 bioremediation of untreated flue gas from a coal-fired power station

摘要: The accumulation of atmospheric CO2, primarily due to combustion fossil fuels, has been implicated in potential global climate change. high rate CO2 bioremediation by microalgae emerged as a favourable method for reducing coal-fired power plant emissions. However, station flue gas contains other chemicals such SOx which can inhibit microalgal growth. In the current study, effect untreated source inorganic carbon on growth Tetraselmis 1000 L industrial-scale split-cylinder internal-loop airlift photobioreactor was examined. culture medium recycled after each harvest. suecica grew very well this during 7-month experiment using from an electroflocculation harvesting unit. Increased SO4 2− concentration 870 mg L−1 addition and media recycling had no negative overall productivity alga. organic biomass sequestration PBR at International Power Hazelwood, Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, are 178.9 ± 30 day−1 89.15 20 ‘C’ day−1, respectively. This study clearly indicates growing purpose biofuel bioremediation.
