Optimized aeration by carbon dioxide gas for microalgal production and mass transfer characterization in a vertical flat-plate photobioreactor
Abstract
To optimize the aeration conditions for microalgal biomass production in a vertical flat-plate photobioreactor (VFPP), the effect of the aeration rate on biomass productivity was investigated under given conditions. Air enriched with 5% or 10% (v/v) CO(2) was supplied for the investigation at rates of 0.025-1 vvm. The CO(2) utilization efficiency, change of pH in the medium, and the optimum aeration rate were determined by evaluating biomass productivity. To investigate the VFPP mass transfer characteristics, the overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient, k(L)a, was evaluated for several different flat-plate sizes. Increasing the height of the VFPP could improve both the mass transfer of CO(2) and the illumination conditions, so this appeared to be a good method for scaling up. Based on a comparison of the k(L)a value at the optimum aeration rate with previously reported results, it was confirmed that the range of CO(2) concentration used in the experiments was cost-effective for mass culture.

Carbon uptake within cyanobacteria is being improved by modifying bioreactor growth conditions and through genetic engineering of RuBisCo.
“Carbon uptake within cyanobacteria is also being improved by modifying bioreactor growth conditions and through genetic engineering of the Ribulose-1,5-bisphoshonate (RuBisCo) enzyme that helps increase carbon fixation within the cyanobacteria [97].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
