Preparation of a biofilter from green algae and graphene

Our project aims to create biofilters to reduce the amount of CO2 that is present in the air and that we absorb daily, using microalgae and graphene found in the oceans.

The use of microalgae as an alternative for reducing the concentration of CO2 has taken great interest in recent years

For which, a vertical type biofilter prototype has been designed using green Chlorella vulgaris algae and graphene sheets. At the top of the biofilter, it has a semipermeable hood, which allows oxygen to escape, but does not allow the entry of air or microorganisms, to avoid contamination

It is well known that microorganisms, including algae, produce the majority of the planet's oxygen, due to its ability to convert harmful gases such as carbon dioxide into oxygen, thus generating a partial detoxification of the environment.
