With microalgal biofuels currently receiving much attention, there has been renewed interest in the combined use of high rate algal ponds (HRAP) for wastewater treatment and biofuel production. This combined use of HRAPs is considered to be an economically feasible option for biofuel production, however, increased microalgal productivity and nutrient removal together with reduced capital costs are needed before it can be commercially viable. Despite HRAPs being an established technology, microalgal photosynthesis and productivity is still limited in these ponds and is well below the theoretical maximum. This paper critically evaluates the parameters that limit microalgal light absorption and photosynthesis in wastewater HRAPs and examines biological, chemical and physical options for improving light absorption and utilisation, with the view of enhancing biomass production and nutrient removal.
随着微藻生物燃料受到广泛关注，人们对高效藻类塘（HRAP）在废水处理和生物燃料生产中的联合应用重新产生了兴趣。这种 HRAP 的联合使用被认为是生物燃料生产的一种经济可行的选择，然而，在具有商业可行性之前，需要提高微藻的生产力和养分去除率，同时降低资本成本。尽管 HRAP 是一种成熟的技术，但微藻的光合作用和生产力在这些池塘中仍然受到限制，远低于理论最大值。本文批判性地评估了限制废水 HRAP 中微藻光吸收和光合作用的参数，并研究了提高光吸收和利用的生物、化学和物理方法，以期提高生物质产量和养分去除率。
