Problems solved by technology

[0007] However, in the conventional airlift photobioreactor, the algal cells are in the light area or the dark area for a long time, and it is impossible to realize the shuttle between the light area and the dark area. It is light damage (that is, excessive light); while algal cells that are far away from the light area are in a light-limited state (that is, insufficient light) for a long time, so that the light energy utilization rate is not high

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of microalga culture, specifically to an airlift photobioreactor for realizing a microalga flash effect. The reactor comprises a tank body (1), a guide cylinder (2), a gas distributor (3), a top cap (5) and internal light sources, which are segment-wise luminescent rod light sources (6). Being parallel to the flow direction of a microalga culture solution, the rod light sources (6) are composed of continuously alternating luminescent segments (7) and non-luminescent segments (8), and are used for forming continuously alternating light zones and dark zones around the rod light sources. The invention has the advantages that: the flash effect of algal cells can be brought into full play, the light energy utilization of mass microalga culture can be improved, liquids can be well mixed, the strength of gas-liquid mass transfer is high, and the shear force is low.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of microalgae cultivation, in particular to an airlift photobioreactor for realizing the microalgae flash effect. Background technique [0002] Microalgae cells are rich in amino acids, proteins, vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids and other high value-added biological substances, and have become an important source of materials in the fields of human food, medicine, dyes, and fine chemicals. At present, with the depletion of fossil energy such as petroleum and coal, people have paid great attention to biorefinery based on biomass. As an important renewable energy source, microalgae can provide a large amount of biomass (oil, starch, cellulose) , has broad application prospects in the field of biorefinery. [0003] The core of the large-scale cultivation of microalgae is the photobioreactor. At present, there are two main methods: open cultivation and closed cultivation. Open culture is the earliest developed and most...
