    摘要: The invention relates to a plant and process for producing photosynthetic microorganisms, particularly microalgae, in a photobioreactor (14) using CO2 (42) and heat from waste from a siderurgical plant (102). The use of low-temperature thermal waste, which cannot generally leverage for other uses, makes the system very economical. The thermal waste transfers its heat through a heat exchanger (34) to the cultivation water. Carbon dioxide discarded from metallurgical plants, and, in particular, steel plants, is transformed into valuable biomass, particularly microalgae. Produced microalgae serve, for example, for nutrition, for the extraction of biomolecules of nutraceutical or pharmaceutical interest and for biofuel production (114).
