The Developed System of Continuous Utilization of Carbon Dioxide, Enrichment of the Atmosphere with Oxygen and Production of Biofuel Using the Resulting Concentrate of Rapidly Multiplying Microalgae
Abstract: It is known that microorganisms, such as microalgae, during photosynthesis utilize carbon dioxide and enrich the atmosphere with oxygen. Microalgae, on the other hand, can be converted into biofuels by extracting fatty acids from macromolecules known as lipids. Recovery of this fatty acid traditionally requires the removal of most of the water from the microalgae resulting in biomass slurry. The method developed earlier permitted to obtain a high-quality concentrate of …
