Enhanced inorganic carbon uptake by Chlorella sp. IMMTCC-2 under autotrophic conditions for lipid production and CO2 sequestration

Microalgae: Cultivation and Application

“…The main categories include (1) tubular (helical, manifold, serpentine and α shaped), (2) flat plate (alveolar panels and glass plates), (3) column (bubble columns and airlift) and (4) stirred tank reactor. A significant amount of work has been carried out in optimisation of different PBR systems for microalgae cultivation (Chaumont 1993;Janssen et al 2003;Tredici 2004;Carvalho et al 2006;Li et al 2007;Aishvarya et al 2012). A PBR has inlet for fresh feed, outlet for recirculation or harvest and a column for gas removal and settling purpose.…”

“…from fuel-fired power plants) as a source of CO 2 for the microalgae growth is envisioned to have a great potential to diminish CO 2 and to provide a very promising alternative to current green house gas emissions mitigation strategies (Danielo 2005). Enhanced sequestration of CO 2 in the form of bicarbonate is possible in mildly alkaline medium (pH-10.0) and can be exploited industrially (Aishvarya et al 2012). Some species with tolerance to high CO 2 levels have also been identified and studied in these environments.…”

“…Some species with tolerance to high CO 2 levels have also been identified and studied in these environments. Various microalgal genera including Chlorella (Douskova et al 2009;Ramanan et al 2010;Borkenstein et al 2011;Aishvarya et al 2012 …”

Optimization of Process Parameters for CO2 Fixation from Bicarbonate Source by a Microalgae

“…In order to overcome this issue, the carbonates produced from CO 2 (g) can be used as an alternative inorganic carbon source (Tang et al, 2011). Several studies have been conducted using sodium bicarbonate as an inorganic carbon source for the growth of microalgae (Moheimani, 2013;White et al, 2013;Aishvarya et al, 2012). Accordingly, this study has attempted to add to the current knowledge for carbon sequestration by microalgae from bicarbonate source.…”
