Abstract: Enhancing growth of algae in an algaculture facility includes contacting a growth medium with a gas including carbon dioxide, transferring some of the carbon dioxide to the growth medium to yield an enriched growth medium, and providing the enriched growth medium to the algaculture facility. The concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in the enriched growth medium exceeds the concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in the growth medium, where dissolved carbon dioxide includes ions formed by the reaction of carbon dioxide with a species in solution. The growth medium may be obtained from the algaculture facility, and may be filtered or otherwise processed before or after contacting the growth medium with the gas. Providing the enriched growth medium to the algaculture facility increases the concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in the bulk growth medium of the algaculture facility.

Abstract: Methods and systems are described for the purification of contaminated air containing CO2, converting it into O2 by means of the use of microorganisms. Said methods and systems comprise the initial stages of capturing the air proceeding from a source of contaminated air containing CO2, such as an industrial plant, and subsequent physical catalysis of said contaminated air, passing it across plates which partially fix the CO2 in the form of calcium and/or magnesium carbonates. Subsequent to these stages the air is passed through fermenter tanks containing a culture comprising micoorganisms, and the culture is then passed through a tubing circuit wherein it is irradiated with light radiation of particular frequencies, intensities and durations, achieving maximised production of O2. By means of the systems and methods described the conversion of CO2 into O2 is achieved having an efficiency very superior to those known in the prior art.
