microalgae Chlorella Vulgaris

The paper presents ways to reduce the carbon footprint through the reuse of microalgae biomass as biofuels (related to bio-CCU). The processing of microalgae biomass into biochar has applications in carbon sequestration, as a feedstock for thermal energy production, as well as activated carbon and adsorption of toxic compounds from polluted air, water and soil.

The paper shows the possibility of using chlorophyll-synthesizing microalgae of Chlorella Vulgaris to purify biogas from carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia (NH3). Experimental dependences of the dynamics of CO2 uptake by microalgae under the action of H2S inhibitor and NH3 activator are presented. A mathematical description of the growth of biomass of microalgae Chlorella Vulgaris depending on the concentration of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia was obtained.
