Zusammenfassung: | Much endeavor has been dispensed recently to evaluate the potential of CO
mitigation by microalgae. We introduce an alternative, novel, LED-illumination isothermal microcalorimetric method to assess the thermodynamic behaviors of microalgae for better understanding of their carbon sequestration capacity. Microalgae thermodynamic behaviors were recorded as power-time curves, and their indices such as total heat evolution (Q
), maximum power output (P
) and heat generated by per algae cell (J
) were obtained. The values for highest (74.80 g L
) and control sample (0.00 g L
) of Q
, P
and J
were 20.85 and 2.32 J; 252.17 and 57.67 μW; 7.91 ×
and 8.80 ×
J cell
, respectively. According to the values of Q
, a general order to promote the CO
sequestration was found at 74.8 g L
> 29.92 g L
> 14.96 g L
> 7.48 g L
> 0 g L
of C sources, which directly corresponded to carbon availability in the growth medium. Chlorella vulgaris GIEC-179 showed the highest peak P
at 74.8 g L
concentration which was directly transformed to their biomass during bio-fixation of CO
process. This study is applicable for better understanding of CO
fixation performance of algae. |
