Optimization of cultivation conditions for combined nutrient removal and CO2 fixation in a batch photobioreactor by Al Ketife, Ahmed MD

“…RESULTS Over 10 days the biomass concentration reached almost 3 g L−1 for Cc,g of 5% CO2, with corresponding values of 0.74 g L−1 day−1 and 1.17 day−1 for Rc and μ, respectively, and 100% nutrient (N and P) removals. At 22% CO2 the Rc and μ decreased by around an order of magnitude, and nutrient removal also decreased to 79% and 50% for N and P, respectively. …”
