摘要

Abstract

SO2 is very rapidly hydrated to sulfurous acid in water solution at pH value above 6.0

whereby sulfite is yielded from the disassociation of protons. We aimed to improve the sulfite transformation efficiency and provide a basis for the direct utilization of SO2 from flue gas by a microalgal suspension. Chlorella sp. XQ-20044 was cultured in a medium with 20 mmol/L sodium sulfite under different physicochemical conditions. Under light conditions

sulfite concentration in the algal suspension reduced linearly over time

and was completely converted into sulfate within 8 h. The highest sulfite transformation rate (3.25 mmol/(L·h)) was obtained under the following conditions: 35°C

light intensity of 300 μmol/(m2·s)

NaHCO3 concentration of 6 g/L

initial cell density (OD540) of 0.8 and pH of 9–10. There was a positive correlation between sulfite transformation rate and the growth of Chlorella

with the conditions favorable to algal growth giving better sulfite transformation. Although oxygen in the air plays a role in the transformation of SO2− 3 to SO2− 4

the transformation is mainly dependent on the metabolic activity of algal cells. Chlorella sp. XQ-20044 is capable of tolerating high sulfite concentration

and can utilize sulfite as the sole sulfur source for maintaining healthy growth. We found that sulfite ≤20 mmol/L had no obvious effect on the total lipid content and fatty acid profiles of the algae. Thus

the results suggest it is feasible to use flue gas for the mass production of feedstock for biodiesel using Chlorella sp. XQ-20044

without preliminary removal of SO2

assuming there is adequate control of the pH.
