However, Ionic Liquids are also toxic towards the majority of living species used for remediation purposes among green microalgae. In this study different ionic liquids were tested for their toxicity for different concentrations on one type of commonly used green microalgae, Botryococcus braunii. Ionic liquids bearing long alkyl chain do display higher CO2 uptake than ioni liquids analogue bearing shorter alkyl chain. This might explain why the production of biomass is dramatically enhanced with 1-octyl-1-Methyl Piperidinium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide OMPipNTf2 compared to 1-Butyl-1-Methyl Piperidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide BMPipNTf2 as the latter can supply more CO2 to the microalgae than the former leading to enhanced organism growth. © 2016 The Authors. date: 2016 publisher: Elsevier Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85013867052&doi=10.1016%2fj.proeng.2016.06.513&partnerID=40&md5=982943db324d6aa12ebbb9686f5a8a3b id_number: 10.1016/j.proeng.2016.06.513 full_text_status: none publication: Procedia Engineering volume: 148 pagerange: 1000-1007 refereed: TRUE issn: 18777058 citation: Quraishi, K.S. and Krishnan, S. and Bustam, M.A. and Uemura, Y. and Wilfred, C.D. and Leveque, J.M.
