Background technology
The results high cost of microalgae always restricts one of bottleneck problem of its large-scale production, and the main method of current microalgae harvesting has membrane filtration, centrifugal and flocculation etc..Membrane filter method not only production efficiency is the lowest, and the easy contamination and plugging of film, the regeneration of film or the cost of renewal are the highest.Therefore industrialization production application is not suitable for.Centrifugal is the method more commonly used, though without adding other chemical reagent, but operation complexity, energy consumption is big, and cost is high.Chinese invention patent " a kind of tube centrifuge microalgae collection device (CN201220618371.2) " discloses a kind of tube centrifuge microalgae collection device, its drip irrigation device is: get rid of liquid from algae solution by centrifugal filtration, algae solution is introduced in an atwirl netted sleeve, by high speed centrifugation effect, microalgae is left on the online of porous, and liquid then centrifugalization is extruded from mesh.Although this apparatus structure is simple, it is provided with dismountable discharging sleeve, improves the yield rate of microalgae.But need discharging after its microalgae is centrifugal, unpick and wash and installation is required to the time, and centrifugal be the huge process of an energy consumption, virtually add the results cost of microalgae, be unfavorable for industrialized production.
The flocculation sediment harvest method of microalgae is the most also paid attention to, and such as Chinese invention patent " a kind of microalgae flocculating setting harvesting method (CN201410453206.X) " discloses and a kind of utilizes quaternary ammonium salt cationic starch as flocculant and to combine the method that the mode of stirring makes the abundant flocculating setting of microalgae be collected to the pot bottom that flocculates.Although the method technique is simple, the reaction time is short, and flocculating effect is good;But its required flocculation dosage is too much, not only can increase cost, also microalgae harvesting thing and water body can be caused certain pollution, and flocculation is required for longer time of repose, it is impossible to continuous prodution every time.

Associated with a kind of electricity flocculation-flotation of the present invention, the continuous harvesting method of microalgae is according to the following steps.
The due-in algae solution of step 1) prepares: derive algae solution by certain flow rate from microalgae photosynthetic reaction system, from bittern water storage tank, derive bittern water by certain flow rate simultaneously, algae solution and bittern aqueous mixtures flow through a raceway pond and are sufficiently mixed, and entrance is at the deep trouth (for due-in algae solution) of the end of raceway pond;Algae solution and bittern water being sufficiently mixed is the electrical conductivity in order to improve algae solution, reduces the required energy consumption of results.
Step 2) microalgae flocculation: due-in algae pumps into and rises to electrolytic zinc-coated steel sheet (3) from algae solution entrance (1), and the hydroxide colloid of the iron discharged by electrode flocculates.
Step 3) flocculation microalgae air supporting is gathered in the crops: be flocculated the microalgae cell group of reunion, the microbubble discharged by molten gas liberation port (2) adsorbs floating, in microbubble uphill process, explosion generation active force promotes microalgae cell group to reunite further, microalgae cell group flows through baffle plate one (4) with main flow and enters results district, rise to liquid level, the microalgae of liquid surface is scraped algae machine (5) and is scraped into storage algae pond (6), collected algae slurry is collected by receipts algae mouth (7) of storage algae pond (6) bottom, sends into next step dewatered drying operation.
Step 4) clear water discharges: the clear water bottom results district, exhalant region is entered by the space of baffle plate two (9) bottom, if liquid level is higher, by gap (17), clear water is discharged (clear water mass rate of emission balances with due-in algae solution inflow velocity) by drainpipe (18), major part water by air dissolved pump water inlet (10) enter air-flotation system and mix with the air inlet of molten gas air inlet pipe (12) by air dissolved pump (13) a part of mixed liquor entrance dissolving (14) temporarily store, a part is connected with molten gas liberation port (2) by air dissolved pump drain pipe (16) and enters electricity flocculation-air floating district, maintain the stable level in device.

Detailed description of the invention
The invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Device of the present invention is as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
The microalgae harvesting method of the present invention is by necessarily deriving algae solution by the flow velocity of 5L/MIN from microalgae photosynthetic reaction system, the flow velocity simultaneously pressing 0.01L/MIN derives bittern water from bittern water storage tank, algae solution and bittern aqueous mixtures flow through a raceway pond and are sufficiently mixed, entrance, at the deep trouth of the end of raceway pond, is for due-in algae solution;Start the continuous harvesting apparatus of microalgae associated with the electric flocculation-flotation of the present invention, the flow velocity that due-in algae solution presses 5.01L/MIN by algae solution entrance 1 enters electricity flocculation-air floating district, when liquid level in device did not just have electrolytic zinc-coated steel sheet, start electricity flocculation and air-floating apparatus, regulation micro-12 volts of flocculation plant voltage of electricity, current strength is 20 amperes, regulation air dissolved pump water inlet pipe butterfly valve 11 controls inflow and molten gas speed with air dissolved pump air inlet valve and observation air dissolved pump feed rate table, making microbubble is intensive milky white state, microalgae flocculation swims in liquid level, and flow through results district, started by equipment control case and scrape algae machine, the flocculate of algae is scraped into storage algae pond, again by receiving algae mouth harvesting microalgae, send into following process program.Clear water bottom results district, entering exhalant region by the space of baffle plate two (9) bottom, if liquid level is higher, by gap (17), clear water is discharged by drainpipe (18), the flow control of clear water discharge is about 5.00L/MIN, makes liquid level maintain the operation interval scraping algae machine always.
