Possibilities of using thermal and mineral springs of the Republic of Kazakhstan as a medium for the cultivation of microalgae – biodiesel producers

Microalgae are characterized by rapid photoautotrophic growth and a high rate of biomass accumulation considered as an alternative feedstock for renewable energy sources such biodiesel. Biofuel research is not just matter finding the right type converting it into fuel, but also environmentally economically viable options. The paper presents results studies on use thermal mineral water medium cultivation microalgae Parachlorella kessleri DZP-5, B2 Ankistrodesmus falcatus B5. It was shown that when using from «Arshan» source Balkhash salt lake to dilute Tamiya in ratio 50:50, possible obtain intensive cultures at same time preserve main characteristics producers biodiesel fuel. composition fatty acids three tested strains given, which showed their potential Key words: microalgae, springs, cultivation, producers, acids.
