Description

Tube-pool combined flash bioreactor system and microalgae growth carbon fixation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to biomass energy utilization technology, in particular to a tube-pool combined flash bioreactor system and a microalgae growth carbon fixation method thereof.
Background
The microalgae has high growth speed, high light energy utilization efficiency and high economic value of biomass, so the microalgae becomes flue gas CO 2 Leading edge research hotspots in the fields of emission reduction and new energy development. The microalgae is fully utilized to capture CO in the exhaust smoke of coal-fired power plants, coal chemical plants, industrial furnaces and kilns and the like 2 The biomass rich in high-value active ingredients can be obtained while the cost of microalgae production raw materials is reduced. The runway pool reactor is used as the most successful commercial cultivation mode of microalgae cultivation industry, and the equipment and the process are simple to operate and easy to amplify, so that the runway pool reactor is widely applied at home and abroad.
The penetration distance of solar rays in the algae liquid is very limited, and microalgae cells at the bottom of the runway pool are far away from the light receiving surface of the algae liquid, so that sufficient light energy is difficult to obtain for photosynthesis. However, when the sunlight of the external environment is too strong, the microalgae cells on the surface of the runway pool algae liquid are exposed to strong light for a long time, so that the light energy is forced to be received to exceed the utilization amount of a cell photosynthetic system, and the cell photosynthetic efficiency is reduced. Researchers define the region of the reactor where the light intensity is below a certain threshold as the dark region and vice versa. The research shows that microalgae need to be continuously and rapidly changed between a light area and a dark area in a reactor culture solution so as to obtain higher light energy utilization efficiency and cell growth speed. Therefore, the conversion movement times of the microalgae cells between the light area and the dark area in each second time are called as the flash frequency, and the flash frequency of the movement of the microalgae cells can be effectively improved by improving the internal structure of the reactor and optimizing the distribution characteristics of the light area and the dark area. The Yang et al set up vortex baffle in the race pool inside and produced vortex flow field to strengthen the flash frequency of little algae motion and improve growth rate, promote the gas-liquid mixing mass transfer through reactor structure optimization and make little algae biomass yield improve 22%. However, the turbulent flow baffle plate increases the flow resistance and reduces the flow speed of the algae liquid, so that a novel reactor structure is necessary to be developed to improve the flash frequency and promote the growth of microalgae to fix carbon.
