O aumento da concentração de gás carbônico na atmosfera tem sensíveis conseqüências ambientais. Nos últimos anos a emissão de CO2 na atmosfera aumentou de 280ppm (1800) para 380ppm (2004), sendo cerca de 22% dessas emissões causadas por plantas de energia termelétrica. Dentre as várias alternativas para captura e utilização de CO2, uma abordagem particularmente interessante é o emprego de microalgas. As microalgas se destacam por apresentarem diversas potencialidades, como fonte de alimento e fonte para obtenção de bioprodutos, e também podem contribuir na redução do efeito estufa, fixando CO2. As microalgas Chlorella e Spirulina apresentam em sua composição alto teor de proteínas, ácidos graxos, sais minerais e pigmentos, e além disso, possuem certificado GRAS(Generally Recognized As Safe), podendo ser utilizadas como alimento sem oferecer risco à saúde humana. A captura do CO2 do gás de combustão de carvão é possível usando microalgas, tanto por separação como por uso direto do gás de combustão, sendo este último mais vantajoso, em função de uma maior economia de energia. Alguns agravantes podem influenciar no uso direto do gás de combustão como a alta temperatura, concentração de CO2 acima de 15% e a presença de SOx, NOx e material particulado (em especial cinzas), dificultando assim, o método direto, a menos que a microalga suporte condições extremas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a utilização de gases de combustão do carvão provenientes da geração termelétrica, para cultivo de microalgas. Previamente foi realizada seleção de microalgas quanto à resistência a SO2 que pode ser formado da combustão do carvão para geração de energia elétrica. As microalgas estudadas foram Chlorella homosphaera, Scenedesmus obliquus e Spirulina sp. expostas a de 6% de CO2 e 30ppm de SO2. A máxima produtividade de biomassa alcançada foi 0,19 g.L-1.d-1 e concentração celular máxima 2,92 g.L-1, ambos para microalga Spirulina sp. Após estudou-se as microalgas S. obliquus e Spirulina sp. em um sistema de FBRs em série em diferentes concentrações de CO2, SO2, NO e diferentes temperaturas. Foi alcançada concentração celular média máxima de 3,29 g.L-1 e fixação de CO2 máxima de 35,87%, ambos resultados para Spirulina sp. Seguindo o estudo em biofixação de CO2 por microalgas, foram isoladas as microalgas Synechococcus nidulans e Chlorella vulgaris da lagoa de estabilização da Usina Termelétrica Presidente Médici – UTPM/CGTEE, sul do Brasil. As microalgas isoladas foram cultivadas e comparadas com as microalgas Spirulina sp e S.s obliquus, em relação a biofixação de CO2. As microalgas foram expostas a 12% CO2, 60 ppm de SO2 e 100 ppm de NO, simulando um gás de combustão de carvão. A C. vulgaris apresentou comportamento semelhante a Spirulina sp., alcançando 13,43% de fixação diária máxima. Foi determinado o conteúdo lipídico e a composição em ácidos graxos das microalgas Spirulina sp., S. obliquus, S. nidulans e C. vulgaris cultivadas em meio contendo 12% de CO2, 60 ppm de SO2 e 100 ppm de NO à 30ºC. A microalga S. obliquus apresentou o maior teor lipídico (6,18%). Para as demais microalgas o conteúdo lipídico variou de 4,56 a 5,97%. O maior conteúdo em AGMI foi 66,01% para a S. obliquus. Os ácidos graxos poliinsaturados (PUFA) foram alcançados em maior quantidade pelas microalgas Spirulina sp. (29,37%) e S. nidulans (29,54%). Os resultados mostraram que o cultivo de microalgas enriquecido com os gases CO2, SO2 e NO, apresentaram uma biomassa rica em ácidos graxos, podendo estes ser utilizados tanto para a alimentação (ácidos graxos insaturados), quanto para produção de biocombustíveis(ácidos graxos saturados). Além disso, as microalgas estudadas podem contribuir na redução do aquecimento global.
The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has sensible environmental consequences. In the recent years the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere increased from 280ppm (1800) to 380ppm (2004), around 22% of these emissions caused by coal fired power plants. Amongst several alternatives for the capture and application of the CO2, one of the most interesting overviews it is the use of microalgae. Microalgae are gain eminence for presenting potentiality, like a source of nutrients and for biofuels production, besides, they can contribute with the greenhouse gas abatement, fixing CO2. Chlorella and Spirulina presents a high amount of proteins, fatty acids, minerals and pigments in their composition, besides, they have the GRAS certificate (Generally Recognized As Safe), allowing them to be used like food without offer any risk to the human health. The CO2 capture from the coal fired flue gas is possible, as by the separation of the CO2 as by the direct use of the flue gas, being the last one advantageous, due to the major energy economy. Some bottlenecks can influence the direct use of the flue gas like the high temperature of the gas, high CO2 concentration and the presence of SOx, NOx and particulate matter(specially ashes), becoming hard, thus the direct method, unless that the microalga could tolerate extreme conditions. The aim of this work was to study the utilization of coal fired flue gas from power plants in microalgal cultures. Previously, was carried out the selection of the microalgae resistant to SO2, witch can be formed in the coal fired power generation. The studied microalgae were Chlorella homosphaera, Scenedesmus obliquus and Spirulina sp. LEB-18 exposed to 6% CO2 and 30ppm SO2. The maximum biomass productivity was 0.19 g.L-1.d-1 and the maximum cell concentration was 2,92 g.L-1, both for Spirulina sp LEB-18. Later, S. obliquus and Spirulina sp. LEB-18 were studied in a serial FBRs system, at different concentration of CO2, SO2, NO and different temperatures. The average maximum cell concentration obtained was 3,29g.L- 1 and maximum CO2 fixation 35,87%, both results for Spirulina sp. Following the CO2 biofixation study by microalgae, the strains Synechococcus nidulans and Chlorella vulgaris were isolated from Presidente Médici’s wastewater treatment station, south of Brazil. The isolated strains were cultivated and their CO2 biofixation was compared with Spirulina sp and S. obliquus. The microalgae were exposed to 12% CO2, 60ppm SO2 and 100ppm NO, simulating the flue gas. C. vulgaris showed similar behavior to that of Spirulina sp LEB-18, reaching 13,43% of maximum daily fixation. The lipid content and the fatty acids composition were determined for Spirulina sp. LEB-18, S. obliquus, S. nidulans e C. vulgaris, cultivated in a medium with 12% CO2, 60ppm SO2 and 100ppm NO at 30°C. S. obliquus showed the major lipid content (6,18%). For the other microalgae the lipid content ranged from 4,56 to 5,97%. The major AGMI content was 66,01% for S. obliquus. The PUFA were obtained in major amount by Spirulina sp. LEB-18 (29,37%) and S. nidulans (29,54%). The results showed that microalgae cultures enriched with CO2, SO2 and NO, presented a fatty acids rich biomass, being able to be used as like a nutrient source (unsaturated fatty acids), as for biofuels production (saturated fatty acids). Besides, the studied microalgae can contribute for the global warm reduction.

Full textIt is found that the CO2 uptake ability of those cement-based products follows the same order when exposed to either pure gas or flue gas: fiberboard has the highest uptake capacity, followed by cement paste, bead board and concrete. For fiberboard, the best CO2 uptake in flue gas is 8.1%, it reaches 23.6% if pure gas used. Introduction of cellulose fiber in the fiberboard significantly increases voids volume and cement paste surface area through dispersing the paste onto fiber surface, effectively increasing carbonation reaction sites and thus CO2 uptake.
For pure gas carbonation with high reaction rate, it takes longer time for carbonated products to further develop strength from subsequent hydration, due to the high water loss during carbonation, the densified cement matrix structures and even fast decalcified cement minerals. Fast carbonation with pure gas is detrimental to cement paste in its long-term strength. For flue gas carbonation, both immediate strengths and long-term strength of the products are comparable with those by pure gas carbonation, although with less CO 2 uptake ability.
Five CO2 uptake determination methods are evaluated. Weight gain method is suitable for both pure gas and flue gas carbonation systems. Mass curve method is more suited for pure gas carbonation. For flue gas carbonation, CO2 concentration method agreed well with the weight gain method. Pressure drop method is relatively less accurate because of water vapor generation during carbonation.
