Abstract

Microalgae cultivation is a promising technology for carbon sequestration and wastewater remediation. It is economically and logistically critical to find viable applications for the large quantities of produced biomass. In current research, a structural material is developed by using nearly 100% Chlorella sorokiniana. The otherwise non-cohesive microalgae cells are first surface-activated and then compacted under a relatively high pressure. The resulting material is a dense solid, stronger than typical steel-reinforced concrete in flexural tests. The processing procedure is simple and fast, and the setup is scalable. This technique may be useful for next-generation green construction and provide a use-case for sustainable microalgae biomass.

基于废水培养的 Sorokiniana 小球藻的碳存储结构材料

微藻培养是一项前景广阔的碳封存和废水修复技术。为生产的大量生物质找到可行的应用领域，在经济和物流方面都至关重要。在目前的研究中，一种结构材料是利用几乎 100% 的小球藻开发的。首先对原本不具粘性的微藻细胞进行表面活性处理，然后在相对较高的压力下进行压实。这样得到的材料是一种致密的固体，在抗弯试验中比典型的钢筋混凝土更坚固。处理过程简单快捷，装置可扩展。这项技术可用于下一代绿色建筑，并为可持续微藻生物质提供了一个使用案例。
