Mix and stir special CO2Pressure pan gas supply.
In the case where completely obscured natural light, after the light of above-mentioned 1 ㎡ light source lamp plate passes through 5cm algae solution, light intensity is violent
Weaken, loss late reaches 96% or more, and the light source of 1 ㎡ is caused to be only capable of for the scenedesmus growth in one plate container of irradiation, nothing
Method supplies the scenedesmus growth in another goldfish jar formula bioreactor of located side by side.The volume of plate container is 1 ㎡ *
0.05m=50L.By culture in about 6 days, for goldfish jar formula bioreactor in optimal culture effect, algae dry weight was close
Degree is about 2.11g/L, then the algae total amount harvested is 105.5g.
As a result compare:
It is trained as described above using stacked thin plate scenedesmus culture apparatus of the invention and traditional plate container type reactor
The result for supporting scenedesmus is summarized as follows table 1 (using 1 ㎡ light source as references object):
