Failed attempt to scrub spores from algae samples. Part 2.

Описание к видео Failed attempt to scrub spores from algae samples. Part 2.

I don't think it is worth putting in time stamps for this part 2.

However, I will explain what is going on. The algae with more CO2 from a bigger pump grew faster and only took 4 days to change from light green to green in color.

The issue with bacteria and mold is that they grow much faster than algae, and the solution "Only traps" the spores and doesn't get rid of them.

Due to an incident, the area has been cleaned from mold and bacteria so nothing bad grew.

This doesn't mean that if the cost per culture was 250 to 300 dollars Can Min for this to work. However as explained in the video you would need scrubbers before passing any toxic gas (SO2, SO3, NO, NO2, Cl2, etc) into the algae to bio-remediate it.

As I am describing in the video the cost would be 500 thousand dollars to 1 million min to get this to work professionally. As an amateur chemist this would never work due to the setup of a fumehood (Not feasible) nor can I afford the cost to run it.

However, overall I understand how to detect with Potassium ferricyanide solution 30% (at least 30 g salt per 100 ml water) which turns green to blue in the presence of Iron (II) ammonium sulfate salt.

If the algae is growing properly and absorbing most of the iron (Fe+2 form) then the color of the sticks should be yellow-orange. Indicating no detectable or too low Iron (Fe+2) in the algae solution.

Is a small-scale algae reactor worth money and time probably not but I tested the theory to see what was technically possible even if it wasn't.
