Abstract

The high cultivation cost of microalgae biodiesel challenges its industrial application. An effective way to lower down cost is to couple the cultivation with the removal of NO in the microalgae- Fe(II)EDTA system. In this study, the impact of culture composition and cell density on NO removal and cell growth was investigated. It was found that the addition of Fe(II)EDAT increased the NO removal rate to 78.8%, nitrogen had indirect impact on NO removal but through algae cell growth. Within the nitrogen-free culture medium with Fe(II)EDTA, the highest lipid yield could reach to 48.3 mg/L. The system reached equilibrium state for the photosynthesis, which oxidized Fe(II) and reduced Fe(III) simultaneously.
