Abstract

Microalgae based biodiesel production requires a large amount of lipid accumulation in the cells, and the accumulation is greatly influenced by the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to find fast and non-destructive methods for lipid change detection. In this paper, Chlorella sp. was adopted as the objective, which was cultured under different light condition consisted of red and blue lights with different proportion. We applied the visible near-infrared spectroscopy (Vis/NIRs) technique to detect the dynamic change of lipid during the microalgae growth processes and utilized hyperspectral imaging technology for visualization of lipid distribution in the suspension. The transmittance and reflectance spectra of microalgae were acquired with Vis/NIRs and hyper-spectroscopy, respectively. In the comparison of the transmittance and reflectance spectra, they showed some different characteristics. Meanwhile it also varied in terms of the number and the area of feature wavelengths obtained by successive projections algorithm (SPA) based on the different spectra. But the established multiple linear regression (MLR) model for lipid content prediction had similar results with rpre of 0.940, RMSEP of 0.003 56 and rpre of 0.932, RMSEP...Continue Reading
