Why mineral carriers are necessary for microalgae

Aluminosilicates: interphase boundary interactions and nature engineering of nanostructures.

“…2), and also because of relatively constant chemical and mineral composition in comparison with technogenic analogues. The material composition of clays and zeolites is well studied and, as mineral carriers, they have a high adsorption activity [19]. The specific surface area varies from 10.38 to 51.69 m 2 /g.…”

“…The relevance of studying the interphase interaction, which determines the main technological properties of nanocomposites (other nanostructures) based on aluminosilicate raw materials in the course of synthesis processes, is extremely high. Potentially available, and also used practically today, aluminosilicate components for the synthesis (production) of industrially significant products are classified into 3 categories: technogenic, synthetic and natural [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The diversity and prevalence of aluminosilicates makes them promising test objects.…”

“…From the synthesis of prebiotic organic molecules to modern weathering reactions, to implants in the human body, the interaction of organic species with mineral surfaces in the environment plays an important role. Intersurface reactions include responses to environmental disturbances such as changes in T and P, radiation and physical fields, ionic strength, and surface coating [15,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…We also observe that different products are formed at different temperatures and pressures, which suggests that the boundary is not the only chemical reaction [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. If we understand the behavior of these parameters, it will be possible to assess the effect of aluminosilicates associated with primitive planetary material on the reaction in various applied tasks.…”

Biogeosorbents for solving environmental problems

“…We showed that the mineral carrier ensured safety and increases the growth of microalgae cells under stress conditions. Microalgae Chlorella vulgaris immobilized on analcimecontaining rocks showed tolerance to increased salinity (34 ‰) and organic pollutants (phenolic water with a concen tration of 10 μg/dm 3 ) [8].…”
