Abstract

The biomass and lipid productivity of Chlorella sp. MTF-15 cultivated using aeration with flue gases from a coke oven, hot stove or power plant in a steel plant of the China Steel Corporation in Taiwan were investigated. Using the flue gas from the coke oven, hot stove or power plant for cultivation, the microalgal strain obtained a maximum specific growth rate and lipid production of (0.827d^-1, 0.688gL^-1), (0.762d^-1, 0.961gL^-1), and (0.728d^-1, 0.792gL^-1), respectively. This study demonstrated that Chlorella sp. MTF-15 could efficiently utilize the CO₂, NO_X and SO₂ present in the different flue gases. The results also showed that the growth potential, lipid production and fatty acid composition of the microalgal strain were dependent on the composition of the flue gas and on the operating strategy deployed.
