Resumen

Photosynthetic biogas upgrading in microalgae photobioreactors constitutes a sustainable and environmentally friendly technology for the simultaneous removal of CO2 and H2S from raw biogas. The potential of algal-bacterial symbiosis for biogas purification has been already studied and demonstrated in open photobioreactors. However, few studies have focused on the implementation of this process in closed photobioreactors, which offer higher photosynthetic efficiencies, enhanced biomass productivities, a limited N2 contamination and improved CO2 mass transfer.
