Abstract

Optimization of the microalgae culture conditions could significantly reduce the production costs of microalgae-derived biodiesel. In the current study, a new process of adding different forms using the multiple small-dose method was employed. The effects of different forms of nitrogen (NaNO 3 , NH 4 Cl, and CH 4 N 2 O) and their concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg L −1 ) on the growth and lipid production of Scenedesmus obliquus were studied. Algae density and lipid production increased with increasing nitrogen concentration for all different forms of nitrogen except NH 4 Cl. The Scenedesmus obliquus growth was promoted by adding NaNO 3 and CH 4 N 2 O, but was inhibited by adding NH 4 Cl. Adding 2 mg N L −1 of CH 4 N 2 O daily yielded the highest cell density (1.7 × 10 7 cells mL −1 ) and lipid production (242.4 mg L −1 ). These conditions can thus maintain the biomass of Scenedesmus obliquus , increase its lipid accumulation, and decrease the costs of biodiesel production.
