TEHRAN (ISNA)- Iranian researchers at Mazandaran Province, northern Iran, have designed and produced the laboratory model of the first biolamp, using alga.Iranian researchers have succeeded in designing ways to reduce air pollution using natural resources, due to rise of air pollution and greenhouse gases, said Mostafa Mehdinejad, Head of Academic Jihad in Mazandaran.
The alga-built lamp can absorb high amount of carbon dioxide and produce oxygen which reduces pollution and contamination.
Some types of alga are capable of absorbing SO2 to providesulfur for synthesis. They can take in NOx for supplying the required nitrogen.
Alga can also be used as biologic absorbent to remove heavy particulates, produce biofuel, hygiene material and biofertilizers after its life span is over.
The alga uses sunlight and starts photosynthesis, absorbs carbon dioxide and produces oxygen.
