Abstract

A preliminary quantitative estimation of biomass microalgae index production it is presented in this paper, for which the stoichiometric coefficients of photosynthesis reaction were calculated under different considerations. Nine alternative of equations were evaluated, where the  is used as sole carbon source; the ammoniac and the ammonia nitrate as nitrogen sources, and the ammonia phosphate , the phosphate monoammonicand phosphate diammonic were used as nitrogen and phosphor sources. Five alternatives fixed the mass balances to obtain the values of the stoichiometric coefficients corresponding to the proposed algae formula. The maximum yield of cell is calculated as Y(B/s), resulting in a value of 0,82 g microalgae/g , equivalent to 1mol microalgae/mol .
