微藻對於CO_2吸收有良好的轉換效率,但若讓小球藻在類似煙道氣的環境下(含高濃度CO_2和SO_x)是否仍可以存活?最適生長條件又為何?本研究將模擬在煙道氣的各種操作條件下,小球藻的培養試驗,了解小球藻可以忍受和最適生長條件範圍。本研究主要試驗項目為:CO_2濃度、pH、溫度、光照比例,及不同pH值下之Na_2SO_3濃度變化試驗,分成批次和連續曝氣培養。早晚曝氣培養下,當CO_2濃度為15%,小球藻有最佳平均生長速率,為25.5mg/L/day;早晚曝氣兩次的小球藻可以忍受到35%的CO_2,pH6、25℃為小球藻最適合生長環境;高於或低於此pH及溫度生長量與速率會逐漸減少,pH4和9,生長溫度於15和35℃開始受到抑制。小球藻全天日照有最大產量和平均速率均為最佳,但就單位時間照光之小球藻產率(mg/L/day)照光時間)以12小時照光,有最高產率,也最符合經濟價值。當pH6時小球藻可以忍受50 mmol Na_2SO_3,pH 5時可以忍受20mmol Na_2SO_3,pH4時只能忍受10mmol Na_2SO_3。小球藻之連續曝氣培養,最適pH、溫度、光照比例結果都與批次相同,可以忍受到30%的CO_2,較早晚兩次曝氣低;生長速率以CO_2為15%時,小球藻有最佳平均生長速率,為31.4mg/L/day。當pH6時小球藻可以忍受40mmol Na_2SO_3,其忍受度稍低於早晚兩次曝氣試驗。小球藻操作條件迴歸式:x=0.98^(∣24- a∣)(5.88* S /(91.3+S+S^2/7.16)×c^(∣pH-6∣)×d^(∣T-25∣)
Microalgae demonstrate effective conversion efficiency in absorption CO_2. However, it is difficult to determine whether "Chlorella vulgaris" can survive in a flue gas environment filled with high concentrations of CO_2 and SO_x. In this study, "Chlorella vulgaris" were cultivated under various simulated operating conditions in a flue gas environment to determine a tolerable range and the optimal conditions for its growth. The main test items used in this study were CO_2 concentration, pH, temperature, illumination proportion, and Na_2SO_3 concentration varied according to different pH values to simulate the conditions of flue gas. The tests were mainly divided into batch-type aeration and continuous aeration cultivation. During morning and evening batch aeration cultivation, a 15% CO_2 concentration resulted in the highest growth rate of 25.5 mg/L/d. The "Chlorella vulgaris" that experienced morning and evening batch aeration could endure an environment of up to 35% CO_2, with pH 6 and a temperature of 25 ℃; these were the most suitable environments for the growth of "Chlorella vulgaris". The growth rate of "Chlorella vulgaris" at a higher or lower pH and temperature was gradually decreased, and was inhibited when it reached pH 4, 9 and 15, 35℃. Full-day illuminated cultivation led to the most production and highest production rate of "Chlorella vulgaris". However, regarding the production rate per unit time of illumination (mg/L/day/illumination time), the test with an illumination ratio of 1:1 demonstrated the highest and most economic test. At pH 6, "Chlorella vulgaris" could withstand 50 mM of Na_2SO_3. At pH 5, it could withstand 20 mM of Na_2SO_3, and at pH 4, it could withstand only 10 mM of Na_2SO_3. The continuous aeration cultivation of "Chlorella vulgaris" showed identical results for pH, temperature, and an illumination ratio to the batch aeration cultivation, however it could withstand a CO_2 concentration of only 30%, which was lower than that of the cultivation with morning and evening batch aeration cultivation. The highest growth rate of "Chlorella vulgaris" was 31.4mg/L/d, with a CO_2 concentration of 15%. In a pH 6 environment, it could withstand 40 mM of Na_2SO_3, which was lower than the cultivation test with morning and evening batch aeration cultivation.
