1. Büyüme sistemi: açık açık yarış pisti gölet ayarları
<ol><li>Açık yuvarlanma yolu havuzlarını baca gazı kaynağına yakın bir yere kurun (%8-10 CO2 içerir). Gölet reaktörünün bulunduğu yerde su ve elektriğin mevcut olduğundan ve reaktörün günün çoğunda gölgede olmadığından emin olun (Şekil 1).</li>

Bu çalışmada, baca gazı karbon yakalama ve mikroalg yetiştiriciliğinin sinerjik olarak bağlanmasının sıcak yarı kurak bir iklimde mümkün olduğunu gösterdik. Yarı otomatik yuvarlanma yolu gölet sistemi için deneysel protokol, baca gazını karbon kaynağı olarak kullanırken alg büyümesiyle ilişkili ilgili parametreleri gerçek zamanlı olarak izlemek için en son teknolojiyi entegre eder. Önerilen protokol, yuvarlanma yolu havuzlarının ana dezavantajlarından biri olan alg yetiştiriciliğindeki ...

Küresel ısınma bugün dünyanın karşı karşıya olduğu en önemli çevre sorunlarından biridir1. Çalışmalar, ana nedenin, insan faaliyetleri nedeniyle atmosferdeki sera gazı (GHG) emisyonlarının, özellikle CO 2'nin,2,3,4,5,6,7 artışını göstermektedir. ABD'de, CO2 emisyonlarının en büyük yoğunluğu, esas olarak enerji sektöründeki fosil yakıt yanmasından, özellikle de elektrik enerjisi üretim tesislerinden 3,7,8,9'dan kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu nedenle, karbon yakalama ve kullanma (CCU) teknolojileri, sera gazı emisyonlarını azaltmak için ana stratejilerden biri olarak ortaya çıkmıştır 2,7,10. Bunlar, CO2'yi ve suyu fotosentez yoluyla, besinlerin varlığında biyokütleye dönüştürmek için güneş ışığını kullanan biyolojik sistemleri içerir. Hızlı büyüme oranı, yüksek CO 2 fiksasyon kabiliyeti ve yüksek üretim kapasitesi nedeniylemikroalglerin kullanımı önerilmiştir. Ek olarak, mikroalgler geniş biyoenerji potansiyeline sahiptir, çünkü biyokütle fosil yakıtların yerini alabilecek biyoyakıtlar gibi ilgi çekici ürünlere dönüştürülebilir 7,9,10,11,12.
Mikroalgler, açık yuvarlanma yolu havuzları ve kapalı fotobiyoreaktörler 13,14,15,16,17,18,19 dahil olmak üzere çeşitli yetiştirme sistemlerinde veya reaktörlerde büyüyebilir ve biyolojik dönüşüm sağlayabilir. Araştırmacılar, iç veya dış mekan koşulları altında her iki yetiştirme sisteminde biyoprosesin başarısını belirleyen avantajları ve sınırlamaları incelemişlerdir 5,6,16,20,21,22,23,24,25 . Açık yuvarlanma yolu havuzları, baca gazının doğrudan yığından dağıtılabildiği durumlarda karbon yakalama ve kullanım için en yaygın yetiştirme sistemleridir. Bu tür bir yetiştirme sistemi nispeten ucuzdur, ölçeklendirilmesi kolaydır, düşük enerji maliyetlerine sahiptir ve karıştırma için düşük enerji gereksinimlerine sahiptir. Ek olarak, bu sistemler CCU prosesini daha verimli hale getirmek için enerji santrali ile kolayca birlikte yerleştirilebilir. Bununla birlikte, CO2 gaz / sıvı kütle transferindeki sınırlama gibi dikkate alınması gereken bazı dezavantajlar vardır. Sınırlamalar olmasına rağmen, açık yuvarlanma yolu havuzları dış mekan mikroalgal biyoyakıt üretimi için en uygun sistem olarak önerilmiştir 5,9,11,16,20.
Bu makalede, bir doğal gaz santralinin baca gazından karbon yakalamayı birleştiren açık yuvarlanma yolu havuzlarında mikroalg yetiştiriciliği için bir yöntemi detaylandırıyoruz. Yöntem, kültür pH'ına dayalı baca gazı enjeksiyonunu kontrol eden yarı otomatik bir sistemden oluşur; Sistem, optik yoğunluk, çözünmüş oksijen (DO), elektroiletkenlik (EC) ve hava ve havuz sıcaklık sensörlerini kullanarak Chlorella sorokiniana kültür durumunu gerçek zamanlı olarak izler ve kaydeder. Alg biyokütlesi ve baca gazı enjeksiyon verileri, Tucson Elektrik Enerjisi tesisinde her 10 dakikada bir veri kaydedici tarafından toplanır. Yosun suşu bakımı, ölçek büyütme, kalite kontrol ölçümleri ve biyokütle karakterizasyonu (örneğin, optik yoğunluk, g / L ve lipit içeriği arasındaki korelasyon) Arizona Üniversitesi'ndeki bir laboratuvar ortamında gerçekleştirilir. Önceki bir protokol, bilgisayar simülasyonu26 aracılığıyla fotobiyoreaktörlerde mikroalg büyümesini teşvik etmek için baca gazı ayarlarını optimize etmek için bir yöntem özetledi. Burada sunulan protokol, açık yuvarlanma yolu havuzlarını kullanması ve üretilen baca gazının doğrudan kullanılması için bir doğal gaz santralinde yerinde uygulanmak üzere tasarlanması bakımından benzersizdir. Ek olarak, gerçek zamanlı optik yoğunluk ölçümleri protokolün bir parçasıdır. Tarif edildiği gibi sistem, düşük yağış, yıldan yıla yağışlarda önemli değişkenlik, düşük bağıl nem, yüksek buharlaşma oranları, berrak gökyüzü ve yoğun güneş radyasyonu sergileyen sıcak yarı kurak bir iklim (Köppen BSh) için optimize edilmiştir27.

coupling carbon capture from a power plant with semi-automated open raceway ponds for microalgae cultivation

Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde, toplam karbondioksit (CO2) emisyonlarının% 35'i, doğal gaz elektrik üretimini temsil eden elektrik enerjisi endüstrisinden gelmektedir. Mikroalgler, CO2'yi bitkilerden 10 ila 15 kat daha hızlı biyo-düzeltebilir ve alg biyokütlesini biyoyakıtlar gibi ilgi çekici ürünlere dönüştürebilir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma, güneybatı Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nde sıcak yarı kurak bir iklimde bulunan bir doğal gaz santrali ile mikroalg yetiştiriciliğinin potansiyel sinerjilerini gösteren bir protokol sunmaktadır. En son teknolojiler, biyoyakıta daha fazla işlenebilen yeşil alg türü Chlorella sorokiniana aracılığıyla karbon yakalama ve kullanımını geliştirmek için kullanılır. Yarı otomatik bir açık yuvarlanma yolu göletini içeren bir protokol açıklıyoruz ve Tucson, Arizona'daki Tucson Elektrik Santrali'nde test edildiğinde performansının sonuçlarını tartışıyoruz. Baca gazı, pH'ı kontrol etmek için ana karbon kaynağı olarak kullanıldı ve Chlorella sorokiniana yetiştirildi. Algleri büyütmek için optimize edilmiş bir ortam kullanıldı. Zamanın bir fonksiyonu olarak sisteme eklenen CO2 miktarı yakından izlendi. Ek olarak, alg büyüme hızını, biyokütle verimliliğini ve karbon fiksasyonunu etkileyen diğer fizikokimyasal faktörler, optik yoğunluk, çözünmüş oksijen (DO), elektroiletkenlik (EC) ve hava ve havuz sıcaklıkları dahil olmak üzere izlendi. Sonuçlar, 0.385 g / L külsüz kuru ağırlığa kadar bir mikroalg veriminin,% 24'lük bir lipit içeriği ile elde edilebileceğini göstermektedir. CO2 yayıcıları ve alg çiftçileri arasındaki sinerjik fırsatlardan yararlanmak, alg biyoyakıtlarının ve biyoürünlerinin sürdürülebilir üretimini desteklerken karbon yakalamayı artırmak için gereken kaynakları sağlayabilir.

Laboratuvarımızdan elde edilen önceki deneysel sonuçlar, yarı otomatik bir açık yuvarlanma yolu havuzu kullanılarak mikroalg yetiştiriciliğinin karbon yakalama işlemleriyle birleştirilebileceğini göstermektedir.

This semi-automatic raceway cultivation system controlled by a pH sensor can directly capture flue gas from power plans for microalgae cultivation and can monitor microalgae growth with real-time measurements. The reactor system allows the direct capture and usage of carbon from industrial flue gas to grow microalgae in on-site semi-automated open pond raceway systems. The system can be used to cultivate alternative algae species and to capture carbon from any power plant.To set up an open raceway pond, attach a 0.95 centimeter fuel hose to capture the flue gas during the post-combustion process, a few meters before the flue gas enters the stack to be discharged into the atmosphere. Place a 20 liter water trap and an approximately 12 meter condenser between the stack and the compressor to remove water from the flue gas. To monitor algal growth, connect a real-time optical density sensor that measures the absorbance at 650 and 750 nanometers, a dissolved oxygen sensor, air and pond thermocouples, a pH sensor, and an electroconductivity sensor to a data logger.To set up a pH control system, connect a compressor and control valve system to the data logger program to manage the flue gas injection and use a tube to direct the flue gas from the control valve through a stone diffuser to the bottom of the raceway pond, then set the system to inject flue gas when the pH value was greater than 8.05 and to stop the flue gas injection when the pH is less than eight. To set up an algal culture system, set the culture room to 25 degrees Celsius in a 12-hour light, 12-hour dark cycle, and use deionized water salts and macro and micronutrients to prepare BG-11 culture medium. Use a sterile loop to select a single algal colony from the culture plate and inoculate the algae in a 50 milliliter tube containing sterile growth medium in a clean biosafety cabinet.Grow the small liquid culture on a shaker table at 120 revolutions per minute for one week. At the end of the incubation, transfer the entire volume of algal culture into 500 milliliters of liquid culture in a one liter flask and close the flask with a rubber stopper fitted with stainless steel tubing to provide aeration. Filter the air with 0.20 micron air sterilization filters and allow the culture to grow for another one to two weeks using a spectrophotometer to monitor the cell density daily.At the end of the culture period, add 500 milliliters of the liquid algal culture to eight liters of non-sterile culture medium in a 10 liter carboy and inject a mixture of 5%carbon dioxide and 95%air into the carboy. Monitor the stock plate and liquid cultures under a light microscope at the 10 and 40X magnifications once a week to ensure growth of the strain of interest. To inoculate an outdoor open raceway pond with algae, first, thoroughly clean the reactor overnight with 30%bleach.Rinse the reactor the next morning until all of the bleach has been removed and calibrate all of the sensors according to their corresponding calibration procedures. Fill the raceway pond up to 80%with water to dilute the concentrated medium and inoculate the pond with the 10 liter carboy of algae culture. Bring the pond to its final volume, then partially shade the raceway pond with wooden pallets for about three days as an adaptation strategy to avoid photo inhibition to allow the microalgae to acclimate to the culture system.To perform a batch growth experiment, inspect and record any day-to-day variations including water evaporation, paddle wheel motor and sensor functionality, or anything else out of the ordinary. Drain and inspect the compressor and water trap daily to allow the removal of any excess water and to minimize flue gas corrosion. Configure the data logger to scan each sensor measurement every 10 seconds and to store the average sensor and air and reactor temperature data every 10 minutes.Make sure that the water level remains constant at the reactor's final volume to avoid affecting the optical density measurement. After replenishing the water in the reactor, collect an algal biomass sample using a 250 milliliter bottle. Measure the optical density in the spectrophotometer.Check the quality of the algae culture three times a week by light microscopy. When a culture is close to reaching stationary phase, harvest 75%of the total algae culture volume and use two to five liters of the culture suspension to perform biomass productivity analysis in the laboratory, then process and convert the rest of the algae into the desired algal products. Here, a comparison between the sensor and laboratory measurements can be observed.Both breeding show similar trends with the data increasing as a function of time. Optical density values increase during the day, but decrease at night during respiration, indicating a change in biomass productivity, thus the integration of a real-time optical density sensor makes it possible to make effective management decisions about the overall algal production system. In this analysis, flue gas was injected from approximately 8:00 a.m.to 6:00 p.m. but was not injected between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.This day/night cycle reflects the daylight sunlight exposure and the lack of light during the night, and consequently, the activation of photosynthesis or photorespiration respectively. As illustrated in this figure, as the algal grow rate increases, more flue gas is required, confirming that the on/off flue gas pulse injection system is effective at facilitating carbon capture and utilization through microalgae cultivation. Other physical chemical parameters can also be used to establish a correlation between the parameters and algal growth and productivity.It is important to make sure that the pH system is properly set up and that all of the sensors are calibrated before inoculating the raceway ponds with microalgae. Other methods that can be performed with the raceway pond while producing microalgae biomass include lipid, carbohydrate, or pigment extraction, ash-free dry weight measurements, and PCR quality monitoring.
