Kwaphela iminyaka embalwa, kwenziwa ucwaningo nokuhlolwa microalgae ukuzisebenzisela ukukhiqiza ama-biofuel ngoba banezinzuzo eziningana ngaphezu kwezinye izinto zokusetshenziswa. Ama-Microalgae okwamanje asetshenziselwa ukusetshenziswa kwemithi, ukudla, njll.
Lawa ma-microalgae angama-photoautotrophic unicellular microorganisms, anekhono lokuthola amandla emisebeni ekhanyayo nokuhlanganisa ama-biomolecule awo ngokuyisisekelo avela isikhutha (CO2) namanzi.
Ezinye zezinto eziphawuleka kakhulu yilezi:
- Ama-Microalgae maningi eplanethi hhayi ngobuningi kuphela kodwa futhi ngokuhlukahluka. Izinhlobo ezingama-30.000 zama-algae ziyaziwa kodwa zingama-50 kuphela ezifundwe ngokuningiliziwe futhi ngu-10% kuphela osetshenziselwa inhloso ethile yokuhweba. Ngakho-ke kunamathuba amahle kakhulu okuthola imiphumela emihle kulabo abangakafundi.
- Banamandla okusetshenziselwa ukwenza imikhiqizo ehlukile enjenge bioethanol kwama-carbohydrate akho, biodiesel yama-lipids noma amafutha ayo, biogas futhi ngicabanga izinkomo zamaprotheni abo.
- Enye yezinzuzo ezinkulu ze-microalgae ukuthi zingakhula emanzini anosawoti, amnandi futhi asele, ngakho-ke anokujwayela okuhle kakhulu. Futhi akuvumeli ukuthi kusetshenziswe umhlaba ukuzilima.
- Ukukhiqizwa kwala ma-microalgae nakho kuyakuvumela ncela i-CO2 womkhathi.
I-Microalgae yinto eluhlaza kakhulu amandla amandla ukuthi iningi labo lisesigabeni sokucwaninga nokuhlola.
Kepha kulindeleke ukuthi ngesikhathi esifushane imikhiqizo emisha izokwakhiwa ngokususelwa kuyo enenzuzo yezomnotho futhi egcina imvelo kahle.
I-Microalgae ingaba yingxenye yesisombululo sezinkinga emphakathini wanamuhla we izinto zokubasa nokungcola abakukhiqizayo. Njengoba zinemvelo ngokuphelele kepha kufanele uziqonde ukuze ukwazi ukuzisebenzisa nokuzixhaphaza ngokuhweba.
UMTHOMBO: Usomnotho. Ikona
