EXPLOSIVE PROLIFERATION OF MICROALGAE UTILIZING OPTICAL BIOCONVERTER AND WARM SEA CURRENT SUCH AS KUROSHIO

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a method for persistently improving the global environment capable of actively improving the environment without giving influence on industry and achieving the object in a short time in contrast to conventional processes having the problems of the need for impracticably enormous money, the influence on industry and the long time necessary for achieving the object. CONSTITUTION:Microalgae growing in seawater are cultured by an optical bioconverter to form an algae suspension having a concentration of about 0.3-5% in terms of dry material. The suspension is diluted with seawater to a concentration of about 10<-6>% in terms of dry material and the diluted suspension is discharged into a warm sea current such as Kuroshio (Japan Current) to effect the cultivation and proliferation of the microalgae in the warm sea current.
