The three green microalgae, i.e. Chlorella, Scenedesmus obliquus, and Ankinstrodemus sp were cultured as co-culture in a vertical bubble photobioreactor as closed system, with 160 μm size diameter of pore membrane sparger to explore the possibility of coupling CO2 biofixation affected the carbon mass transfer process. In this study, overall volumetric mass transfer coefficient (KLa) of CO2 were developed with operational culture conditions at temperatures (°C) of 30, light intensities (lux) of 4000 and photoperiodism (light/dark; hour) of 16/8, with various high concentration (%) CO2 supplied from the bottom of photobioreactor were 0, 2, 5, 7. The result showed that the highest KLa value (h-1) was 0.1419 5% pure CO2 supplied, gas flow rate 8 L/min during 12 days experiment. While at this condition, the maximum dried biomass (g/mL) was 2.7 (μ = 0.38) at 5% pure CO2. It could be concluded that CO 2 removal efficiency (%) affected by the KLa value, whereas the highest CO2 removal efficiency (%) of 49.02 occurred when the KLa value was highest. © Global Science Publications.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Biomitigation,Co-culture,Volumetric mass transfer coefficient[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
