High Concentration of Carbon Dioxide Sequestrated by Microalgae in A Closed Raceway Pond Photobioreactor

Article Preview

Abstract:

CO2 is the main greenhouse gas leading to global warming. Sequestration strategies of CO2 have become a popular research topic around the world. Among them, CO2 biofixation by microalgae is thought to be one of the most effective carbon sequestration means. The flue gas from power plant or waste gas from industry normally contains concentrated CO2 with concentrations varied from 10% to 95%. In the present study, microalgae growth in a closed raceway pond aerated with high concentration of CO2 (100%) was examined. The experimental results showed that in the closed raceway pond, microalgae can grow with 100% CO2 and grow well under certain condition. The present study proved the feasibility of using microalgae for sequestration of concentrated CO2 emitted from industrial plants.
