Background technology
Along with the exhaustion day by day of global fossil energy and running down of environmental problem, seek a kind of focus that renewable, environmentally friendly energy form becomes various countries scientist concern that continues.In numerous renewable energy source (in wind energy, Geothermal energy, water ability, sun power, the sea energy); Biofuel has high similarity with it at aspects such as energy density, incendivity and petrifaction diesel; And have and be prone to degraded, not sulfur-bearing and aromatic compounds, characteristic such as environmentally friendly, receive the extensive concern of countries in the world.
Biofuel is meant the longer chain fatty acid alkyl monoester that animal and plant or microbial oil obtain after esterification.Since 1988; Many American-European countries have begun the substitute of biofuel as petrifaction diesel is used; But because the higher prices of raw and semifnished materials, make the price of biofuel far above traditional petrifaction diesel, this becomes the main bottleneck of restriction biofuel industrialized development.The main raw material of production biofuel at present, is cash crop such as soybean, rape, sunflower seeds.This is the production of biodiesel mode on basis with the traditional agriculture, not only yields poorly, and ploughs with the food crop contention, therefore can not satisfy the demand of biofuel industry to the raw material sustainable growth.
Little algae be one type with the energy-producing lower plant of photoautotrophy, be nature origin the earliest, the widest, the kind of distributing and the maximum biomass resource of quantity.Many under certain condition little algaes can accumulate storage property triacylglycerol (little algae oil) in a large number in cell, its high-content can reach more than 50% of dried cell weight.Compare with high Lu Sheng oil crops, little algae has the photosynthetic efficiency height, growth velocity is fast, growth cycle is short, unit frustule fat content high and advantage such as the area that do not occupy cultivated land.Thereby, consider that from the yield and quality of little algae oil it should be the important non-grain raw material that solves the global energy shortage.
Utilize little algae production biofuel to have many technical bottlenecks, wherein, the low-cost high-density culture technique of the little algae of produce oil is to realize the key of its industrialization.The research work at initial stage finds that the little algae of some high produce oil (Nannochloropsis sp.) is when laboratory culture, and living weight can reach 8.0gL -1More than, but after it is carried out outdoor amplification culture, the not enough 1.0gL of its living weight -1, the huge drop on this output has disclosed and has developed a kind of necessity that can be used for the bioreactor of the little algae high-density culture of produce oil.
Be used for bioreactor that little algae cultivates at present and mainly contain open type and closed two types.That the open type bioreactor has is simple in structure, amplify easily and low cost and other advantages, has been successfully applied to during the bait micro-algae mass-producing cultivates; Closed photo bioreactor has the pollution of being difficult for, culture condition is easy to control, high specific surface area, luminous energy and CO 2Utilization ratio is than advantages such as height, and still, the investment of closed photo bioreactor and running cost are high.In the domestic disclosed bioreactor utility model patent, what be used for the little algae cultivation of produce oil only has following three:
One of which, application number are " 200820058978.3 ", and name is called " a kind of production equipment of industrialization culturing microalgae " (Cai Zhiwu).The main body of this culture apparatus is runway pond formula structure (not possessing stirring rake); Its mode through air-blowing realizes the circulation of algae liquid; Open pond covers with plastics film fully, and this reactor drum combines open and closed photo bioreactor advantage separately, can realize that the produce oil micro-algae large-scale cultivates.
Its two, application number is " 201020129411.8 ", name is called " a kind of oil-rich microalgae culture apparatus " (Wu Qifei, Jiangsu University).This reactor drum has been used for reference the design concept of anaerobic fermentation tank, and it comprises cover, tank body, gas distributor, chuck, temperature control texture, PLC automatic control system, and illumination apparatus is installed in tank interior.The PLC automatic control system can be regulated and control (temperature, illumination and CO to the growth of little algae more exactly 2), shortened culture cycle greatly, accelerated the speed of growth of little algae, improved production efficiency, reduced production cost.
