Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editors-in-Chief. The article is a duplicate of a paper that has already been published in [Bioresource Technology, volume 208 (2016) 1 - 6. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2016.02.043]. Redundant publications overweigh the relative importance of published findings and distort the academic record of the authors. One of the conditions of submission of a paper for publication is therefore that authors declare explicitly that the paper has not been previously published and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. As such this article represents a misuse of the scientific publishing system. The scientific community takes a very strong view on this matter and apologies are offered to readers of the journal that this was not detected during the submission process.

Keywords: CO(2) bio-sequestration; Chlorella sp.; Microalgae; N:P ratio; Photobioreactor.
