Economically successful microalgal mass cultivation is dependent on overcoming several barriers that contribute to the cost of production. The severity of these barriers is dependent on the market value of the final product. These barriers prevent the commercially viable production of algal biofuels but are also faced by any producers of any algal product. General barriers include the cost of water and limits on recycling, costs and recycling of nutrients, CO utilization, energy costs associated with harvesting and biomass loss due to biocontamination and pond crashes. In this paper, recent advances in overcoming these barriers are discussed.
经济上成功的微藻大规模培养依赖于克服几个导致生产成本增加的障碍。这些障碍的严重程度取决于最终产品的市场价值。这些障碍不仅阻止了藻类生物燃料的商业生产，也阻碍了任何藻类产品的生产者。一般障碍包括水的成本和限制回收、营养物质的成本和回收、CO2 的利用、与收获相关的能源成本以及由于生物污染和池塘崩溃导致的生物量损失。本文讨论了克服这些障碍的最新进展。
