Previous issue date: 2013 / Resumo: A busca por uma maior sustentabilidade tem levado a uma mudança em direção à utilização de fontes renováveis para geração de energia em detrimento do uso de combustíveis fósseis, visando a uma modificação na matriz energética global. A utilização da biomassa de microalgas para produção de biocombustíveis vem sendo vista como uma alternativa promissora, uma vez que o seu cultivo proporciona produtividades em carboidratos e lipídios superiores às matérias-primas vegetais convencionalmente utilizadas na obtenção de etanol e biodiesel. Neste contexto, o objetivo da presente dissertação de mestrado foi avaliar a produção de biomassa da microalga clorofícea Chlorella vulgaris em fotobiorreator de placa plana em diferentes condições de fluxo luminoso, concentração de CO2 na alimentação gasosa e concentração de NaNO3 no meio de cultivo, visando o acúmulo de carboidratos para obtenção de bioetanol de terceira geração. As influências das variáveis nutricionais e de processo sobre a eficiência fotossintética das microalgas também foram estimadas para determinação do estado fisiológico das culturas. A produtividade média de biomassa e a concentração máxima final das microalgas foram significativamente afetadas pela incidência de radiação luminosa e pela suplementação de CO2 gasoso, obtendo-se maiores produtividades de carboidratos em cultivos com alto fluxo luminoso e concentrações de CO2 intermediárias (7,5%). Também foi observado o efeito positivo do aumento do fotoperíodo sobre o crescimento das microalgas. Através de hidrólise ácida foi possível atingir concentrações de até 2 g L-1 de açúcares fermentescíveis no hidrolisado a partir de biomassa de microalgas cultivadas em meio com baixo teor de nitrogênio. A fermentação etanólica foi então conduzida com a levedura Dekkerabruxellensis capaz de converter diferentes hexoses e pentoses em bioetanol, dada a presença de ambos os tipos de açúcares no hidrolisado / Abstract: The search for industrial processes with higher sustainability has led to a change towards the utilization of renewable sources for energy generation in substitution of fossil fuels, aiming the modification of the global energy matrix. The utilization of microalgal biomass for the production of biofuels is viewed as a promising alternative, since its cultivation yields carbohydrate and lipid productivities superior to those of conventional sources used in the obtention of bioethanol and biodiesel. In this context, the goal of this master thesis was to evaluate the biomass production of the chlorophycean microalga Chlorella vulgaris in a flat plate photobioreactor under different conditions of light flux, CO2 concentration in the gas feed and NaNO3 concentration in the culture medium, aiming carbohydrate accumulation for the production of third generation bioethanol. The influences of both process and nutritional variables on the photosynthetic efficiency of microalgae were estimated for the determination of the physiological condition of the cultures. The mean biomass productivity and the maximum final microalgae concentration were significantly affected by the incidence of light radiation and by the supplementation of gaseous CO2, the highest carbohydrate productivities being obtained in cultivations with high light flux and intermediate CO2 concentrations (7,5%). It was also observed the positive effect of increasing the photoperiod over microalgae growth. Through acid hydrolysis, it was possible to attain fermentable sugar concentration of up to 2 g L-1 from biomass of microalgae cultivated in low-nitrogen medium. The ethanolic fermentation was then carried out with the Dekkerabruxellensis yeast, capable of converting different hexoses and pentoses into ethanol, due to the presence of both sugar types in the hydrolysate / Mestrado / Desenvolvimento de Processos Químicos / Mestre em Engenharia Química
