The use of immobilized algae will depend on, as in all commercial systems, the economic and environmental values of the product. In this poster session, four different polymer matrices were examined for immobilization of Chlorella sp. cells. The immobilization and growth ratios of whole cells immobilized in polyurethane polymer was high in comparison to these immobilized with the rest of the polymers. Different concentrations of mineral ion (Fe) used as catalyst on polyurethane were tested to study their effect on Chlorella sp. growth. Maximum growth ratio was observed with 1.0 mM ofFe. It was concluded that the use of polyurethane-immobilized Chlorella sp. in these processes offers significant advantages in bioreactors. |
