Continuous Supply of Bioavailable Iron for Marine Diatoms from Steelmaking Slag

Abstract: Ϫ1, the slag supplied bioavailable Fe to two diatoms for 50 d. The probable duration for which the slag was available as an Fe source was approximately 10 times longer than the reported duration in in situ iron fertilization experiments. These results indicate that continuous Fe fertilization can be achieved by a single addition of the slag, and hence, we can reduce the energy and cost of ocean fertilization and also create a resource of microalgae biofuels.KEY WORDS: biological pump; marine diatom; iron ferti… Show more

“…As common sequestering agents, organic acids can chelate iron species not only to improve its solubility but also to extend its elution life time. For instance, Sugie and Taniguchi 5) convinced ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), as the chelating agent of Fe dissolved from steelmaking slag, having a sufficient duration of bioavailability.…”

“…The maximum growth rates of T. nordenskieldii and T. oceanica were 1.5/d and 2.3/d, respectively. The iron or ferrous ions were released in the steel slag and inorganic iron reagent (FeCl 3 •6H 2 O), both can effectively promote the growth rate of two diatoms [53]. The iron element in the steel slag forms a colloidal iron ion with the solution to maintain the iron ion concentration in the culture medium.…”

“…SMS contains minerals, such like Fe, P, Mg, Ca, Mn, that are essential for algal growth (Yokoyama et al 2010 ; Zhang et al 2012 ; Mombelli et al 2014 ). The growth promotion effect of SMS has been reported in not only macroalgae but also in certain seawater microalgae (Nakamura et al 1998 ; Haraguchi et al 2003 ; Sugie and Taniguchi 2011 ). However, investigations on freshwater microalgae required for the commercial production of valuable products are fewer than those on marine microalgae.…”
