Enhanced Carbon Dioxide Capture Using Immobilized Microalgae in 3D-Printed Bioarchitectures

June 15, 2024

Abstract This study presents a novel approach to carbon dioxide capture using microalgae immobilized in 3D-printed bioarchitectures. The research demonstrates enhanced CO₂ capture efficiency compared to conventional cultivation methods. Key Findings 3D-printed structures increased surface area for algal growth by 300% CO₂ capture rate improved by 45% compared to suspended cultures The system showed stable performance over extended operation periods Cost-effective scalability demonstrated through pilot studies Methods We developed bio-compatible 3D-printed structures using various materials and geometries, then immobilized selected microalgae strains for optimal carbon capture performance.
