Obtaining biofuels from Chlorella vulgaris biomass
Published Jul 7, 2022
Abstract
The objective of this work is to analyze the importance of obtaining biofuels through the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris as a raw material for obtaining fuels such as biodiesel and bioethanol. To cultivate microalgae, light, water, nutrients and a minimum amount of land are required to install the cultivation area. These organisms, like plants, are capable of using CO2 and sunlight to generate complex biomolecules that are necessary for their survival. From the hydrodynamic effect of aeration and continuous white light conditions in bubble column photobioreactors; The different methods and sources for obtaining renewable fuels are analyzed. The microalgae will be in a culture preserver for the reproduction of more cells in acclimatization for 30 days in 250 ml Erlenmeyer flasks with constant lighting that will help motivate the reproduction of the algae. In relation to the analysis of the methodology, it is obtained that the exempted microalgae are identified as one of the best triglyceride-producing microorganisms mainly used to obtain biodiesel and bioethanol. However, more research is currently needed to determine the best culture method and thereby obtain a higher balanced yield of biomass and lipids.
