Cover Story: Monitoring microscale photobioreactors for microalgae growth is a challenging task since non-invasive techniques are required to quantify culture properties. In this study, features extracted from RGB images and PAM-imaging fluorescence were used to calibrate a soft-sensor through multivariate image regression. Ad-hoc PLS (partial least squares) regression models were used to estimate biomass concentration and cell content of Chlorophyll at different light intensities during batch growth. Results showed that the proposed monitoring approach is as accurate as traditional measurement techniques and represents a promising methodology for fast and inexpensive monitoring of microscale photobioreactors.

  • Alessia Santucci and
  • Annalisa Paolone

Pd–Ag alloys are largely used as hydrogen separation membranes and, as a consequence, the Pd–Ag–H system has been intensively studied. On the contrary, fewer information is available for the Pd–Ag–D system; thus, the aim of this work is to improve th...
