EXPLICACIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓN EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION
Es un objeto de la presente invención un método de producción de biomasa mediante el uso de aerosoles acuosos que contienen microorganismos fotosintéticos. Los aerosoles son producidos a partir de una suspensión acuosa de dichos microorganismos que pueden tener los nutrientes necesarios para su desarrollo.

EXPOSICIÓN DETALLADA DE MODOS DE REALIZACIÓN Y EJEMPLOS FIG 2. Shows a schematic representation of an aerial artificial forest, object of the present invention. DETAILED EXHIBITION OF EMBODIMENTS AND EXAMPLES
Tal y como muestra la figura 1 el ciclo básico de producción de biomasa propuesto en la presente invención comprende una etapa de nebulización de una suspensión acuosa (1) de microorganismos fotosintéticos (2) que, opcionalmente, pueden comprender los nutrientes necesarios para el desarrollo de los microorganismos. Estos aerosoles (1) han sido liberados en un entorno aéreo atmosférico sometido a la radiación solar (3) y se mantienen en suspensión el tiempo suficiente para que el rendimiento de producción de biomasa resulte positivo. Posteriormente, los aerosoles con los microorganismos fotosintéticos (2) que, opcionalmente, pueden comprender los nutrientes necesarios para que el rendimiento de producción de biomasa resulte positivo. Posteriormente, los aerosoles (1) con los microorganismos fotosintéticos (2) sedimentan (4) y son recogidos (5) de tal forma que se establece una realimentación (6) con el cultivo original, para volver a ser nebulizado. As Figure 1 shows, the basic biomass production cycle proposed in the present invention comprises a stage of nebulization of an aqueous suspension (1) of photosynthetic microorganisms (2) that, optionally, may comprise the nutrients necessary for the development of microorganisms These aerosols (1) have been released in an atmospheric air environment subjected to solar radiation (3) and are kept in suspension long enough for the biomass production yield to be positive. Subsequently, aerosols with photosynthetic microorganisms (2) that, optionally, may comprise the nutrients necessary for the biomass production yield to be positive. Subsequently, the aerosols (1) with the photosynthetic microorganisms (2) settle (4) and are collected (5) in such a way that a feedback (6) is established with the original culture, to be again fogged.
Dentro de esta realización, los aerosoles (1) se liberan de tal forma que describen una trayectoria ascendente y descendente que maximiza el tiempo de mantenimiento en suspensión, bajo la acción de las fuerzas gravitatorias e hidrodinámicas en el seno del aire. Within this embodiment, the aerosols (1) are released in such a way that they describe an upward and downward trajectory that maximizes the maintenance time in suspension, under the action of gravitational and hydrodynamic forces within the air.
En una realización particular, es posible establecer corrientes forzadas en el entorno aéreo, o favorecer las naturales, que aumentan el tiempo de suspensión de los aerosoles frente al resultante de la sedimentación en una atmósfera estática. In a particular embodiment, it is possible to establish forced currents in the air environment, or to favor natural ones, which increase the suspension time of aerosols compared to the result of sedimentation in a static atmosphere.
La suspensión acuosa puede contener una o varias especies diversas de microorganismos biológicos y una combinación de los aerosoles sedimentados, como anteriormente se ha indicado, así como nutrientes seleccionados para el desarrollo de dichos microorganismos fotosintéticos y de otros organismos biológicos que se encuentren en la suspensión acuosa. The aqueous suspension may contain one or several different species of biological microorganisms and a combination of the sedimented aerosols, as indicated above, as well as selected nutrients for the development of said photosynthetic microorganisms and other biological organisms that are in the aqueous suspension. .
El proceso de nebulización es mantenido durante periodos de tiempo muy largos en comparación con los tiempos típicos de suspensión aérea de una gota de aerosol, con lo cual dicho entorno genera ciclos bioquímicos repetitivos que pueden favorecer, potenciar o establecer desarrollos biológicos selectivos, favoreciendo de manera selectiva a ciertas especies o la generación de productos biológicos determinados, y que pueden desarrollar ecosistemas que pueden alcanzar o no un régimen permanente.
Los ecosistemas generados pueden ser favorecidos por cualquier tipo de acción de artificial (es decir, una acción de cultivo) del grupo de control de temperatura, grado de humedad, pH de suspensión acuosa, concentración de óxidos de nitrógeno, azufre, hierro y sales de sodio, potasio, calcio y magnesio, para que, como se ha indicado, se favorezca el desarrollo de una determinada especie o especies, así como la generación de un producto biológico determinado. The nebulization process is maintained for very long periods of time compared to the typical air suspension times of an aerosol drop, whereby said environment generates repetitive biochemical cycles that can favor, enhance or establish selective biological developments, thus favoring selective to certain species or the generation of certain biological products, and that can develop ecosystems that may or may not reach a permanent regime. The generated ecosystems can be favored by any type of artificial action (that is, a cultivation action) of the control group of temperature, humidity, pH of aqueous suspension, concentration of nitrogen oxides, sulfur, iron and salts of sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, so that, as indicated, the development of a certain species or species is favored, as well as the generation of a specific biological product.

Figure 2 shows an example of practical application of the invention in an artificial forest, where a culture of suspended algae and nutrients (21) is permanently sprayed (22) in the form of an aerosol, generating a cloud (23) that absorbs solar radiation (24) and C0 2 (25) generating a high biomass yield, since the aerosol that precipitates (that is, sediments) is collected in the crop (21) and nebulized again.
