Resumo

A produção de biocombustíveis através da biomassa de microalgas representa uma nova geração de matérias-primas a partir de fontes renováveis para atender as necessidades da sociedade e a crescente inserção no mercado de combustíveis de produtos que possam conceder ao planeta um futuro sustentável. O presente estudo avalia a biomassa obtida da microalga Chlorella vulgaris quando cultivada em águas residuais urbanas, extraindo os lipídios da biomassa e realizando a análise por cromatografia em fase gasosa da composição dos Ésteres Metílicos de Ácido Graxo (EMAG) após a submissão dos lipídios pelo processo de transesterificação. O cultivo de microalgas foi monitorado através da análise de clorofila (a) e o maior crescimento celular foi de 845,8 µg L-1, utilizando águas residuais urbanas como meio de crescimento. Os nutrientes de interesse foram monitorados quanto à concentração primária de 8,06 ± 0,06 mg L-1 de nitrogênio amoniacal, 12,27 ± 0,27 mg L-1 de nitrato e 21,22 ± 0,85 mg L-1 de fosfato, reduzindo cerca de 99% do nitrogênio e nitrato amoniacal, juntamente com a redução de 87% de fosfato. A constituição lipídica extraída de 3,7 g de biomassa seca de Chlorella vulgaris após o cultivo em águas residuais urbanas foi de 7,7%. Os lipídios extraídos da biomassa de Chlorella vulgaris são adequados para a produção de biodiesel em relação às quantidades de EMAG identificados, após a análise realizada juntamente com a comparação dos resultados obtidos com outros estudos e a avaliação de hipóteses.
