Abstract:

To investigate the effect of electrolytic oxidation technology for treating seawater on the growth and reproduction of Isochrysis galbana 8701, Platymonas helgolandica var. tsingtaoensis and Chaetoceros muelleri, three experimental groups were set up, including electrolytic oxidation sand filtration seawater EOW250 (effective chlorine concentration of 250 mg·L-1), electrolytic oxidation sand filtration seawater EOW100 (effective chlorine concentration of 100 mg·L-1), and bleaching powder disinfection sand filtration seawater (effective chlorine concentration of 35 mg·L-1), with boiled sand filtration seawater as the control group. Single species cultivation was carried out on Isochrysis galbana 8701, Platymonas helgolandica var. tsingtaoensis and Chaetoceros muelleri for 10 days. The results showed that electrolytic oxidation technology for treating seawater was suitable for the cultivation of three types of marine microalgae. The group treated with electrolytic oxidation seawater EOW100(effective chlorine concentration of 100 mg·L-1) for Isochrysis galbana 8701 achieved the highest cell density of 437.7×104 cell ·mL-1 on the 10th day of cultivation, and significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the final cell density of Platymonas helgolandica var. tsingtaoensis among the treatment groups (P>0.05). However, there was a significant difference (P<0.05) in the final bacterial number between the electrolytic oxidation seawater EOW250(effective chlorine concentration of 250 mg·L-1), electrolytic oxidation seawater EOW100(effective chlorine concentration of 100 mg·L-1) groups and the bleaching powder group. There was no significant difference in the the final bacterial number of Chaetoceros muelleri among the treatment groups (P>0.05).In conclusion, electrolytic oxidation seawater EOW250 (effective chlorine concentration of 250 mg·L-1) could be used for the culture of Platymonas helgolandica var. tsingtaoensis, while electrolytic oxidation seawater EOW100(effective chlorine concentration of 100 mg·L-1) was suitable for the cultivation of Isochrysis galbana 8701, Platymonas helgolandica var. tsingtaoensis and Chaetoceros muelleri. The aim of the study is to treat sand filtered seawater with electrolytic oxidation for the cultivation of microalgae and to provide an experimental basis for the application of microalgae in large-scale production.
