New System Which Eliminates Carbon Dioxide Emissions Through Microalgae Under Development

Monday, May 26, 2008 - 16:21 in Physics & Chemistry

Scientists are carrying out a research project on the development of new systems to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions through the use of microalgae photosynthetic activity. The mechanism developed is simple on paper. By the gas emission points a water tank would be installed in order to retain the pollutant gases resulting from a specific industrial process. This polluted water would go through a system of bioreactors with a microalgae culture system, which would then transform the carbon dioxide emissions into vegetal matter and oxygen through the photosynthesis process, according to researchers.
