Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of microalgae biotechnology, and particularly relates to a high-efficiency modular algae photobioreactor, which utilizes the high-efficiency photosynthesis of algae and is suitable for efficient production of algae biomass and CO in life support systems for space flight and submarine navigation. 2 Fixed and O 2 regeneration. Background technique

[0002] Since the beginning of manned space exploration, the controlled ecological life support system has been paid attention to as the basis of manned spaceflight, and the CO 2 Remove and O 2 Regeneration is a key technology in the study of controlled ecological life support systems. Microalgae have become one of the important organisms in the study of controlled ecological life support systems due to their good adaptability, simple cultivation, stable operation, and efficient and rapid production of food and oxygen required by space crew. The growth of microalgae depend...
