摘要

A new hybrid photobioreactor, which combines the advantages of an open system with those of a flat-plate photobioreactor was developed to improve high surface-to-volume ratio of the photobioreactor and the photosynthetic efficiency by enriched CO2-sequestration via bubbling of CO2 into the culture medium to achieve high biomass productivities. To evaluate the performance of this photobioreactor, we performed a case study assessing its biomass productivity and the efficiency parameters associated with the conversion of carbon dioxide in the algal photosynthesis process for cultures of Chlorella homosphaera. The biomass concentration of C. homosphaera reached 3.6 g/L on the 11(th) day of culturing, using a new hybrid photobioreactor, which is 3 fold increased compared to a standard open tank system under similar photoautptrophic conditions.
