The extent of biological CO2 fixation was evaluated for outdoor cultures of the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. ATCC 33047. Culture conditions were optimized indoors in bubble-column photochemostats operating in continuous mode, subjected to irradiance cycles mimicking the light regime outdoors. Highest values achieved for CO2 fixation rate and biomass productivity were 1 and 0.6 g L(-1) day(-1), r...

The present study investigated the feasibility of bioCO(2) sequestration using Chlorella sorokiniana. It was found that 5% CO(2) (v/v) in air was the most suitable concentration for the growth of this organism. At this concentration, the maximum rate of CO(2) sequestered and the biomass obtained were found to be 1.21 g L(-1)d(-1) and 4.4 g L(-1) respectively. Modeling and simulation of the grow...

We are in danger of losing our current standards living due to the depletion natural resources. It is essential decrease amount waste produced. In reactor engineering, production caused by formation byproducts. To increase selectivity reactor, fluid dynamics should benefit intrinsic reaction kinetics, which can only be done when each molecule has exactly same experience. The mass transfer from ...

simulation using a commercially available computational fluid dynamics package (FLUENT) were adopted to investigate complex behavior involving hydrodynamics and ferrous biological oxidation in a gas–liquid bubble column reactor. By combining the hydrodynamics and chemical species transport equations, the velocity field, air volume fraction and ferrous biooxidation rate in the column were simula...

This research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of various diffusers in a bioreactor for producing liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) using cow urine and slurry waste as materials. LOF was produced by treating with Urine-Single Orifice Diffuser (USOD), Urine-Coarse Bubble (UCBD), Urine-Fine (UFBD), Slurry-Single (SSOD), Slurry-Coarse (SCBD), Slurry-Fine (SFBD) equipped water pump an external aer...
