Popis
Shrnutí:•CO2 fixation rate by Chlorella vulgaris was optimized.•Growth parameters were affected by CO2 concentration and aeration rate.•Biochemical composition of algae did not change under different growth conditions. Biofixation of CO2 by microalgae has been recognized as an attractive approach to CO2 mitigation. The main objective of this work was to maximize the rate of CO2 fixation (RCO2) by the green microalga Chlorella vulgaris P12 cultivated photoautotrophically in bubble column photobioreactors under different CO2 concentrations (ranging from 2% to 10%) and aeration rates (ranging from 0.1 to 0.7vvm). Results showed that the maximum RCO2 (2.22gL−1d−1) was obtained by using 6.5% CO2 and 0.5vvm after 7days of cultivation at 30°C. Although final biomass concentration and maximum biomass productivity of microalgae were affected by the different cultivation conditions, no significant differences were obtained in the biochemical composition of microalgal cells for the evaluated levels of aeration and CO2. The present study demonstrated that optimization of microalgal cultivation conditions can be considered a useful strategy for maximizing CO2 bio-mitigation by C. vulgaris.
