Abstract:Summary
The weight ratio of Na2CO3/NaHCO3 was investigated in order to improve microalgal productivity in large‐scale industrial operations by converting NaHCO3 to Na2CO3 with a growth of Arthrospira platensis cells in 660 m2 raceway ponds. Two microalgal cultivation systems with a NaHCO3 by‐product (SPBP) and a CO2 bicarbonation absorber (CBAP) were firstly thoroughly introduced. There was a 13.3% decrease in the initial weight ratio of Na2CO3/NaHCO3 resulting in a 25.3% increase in the biomass growth rate wi… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
