Problems solved by technology

However, there may still be some deficiencies in the closed reactors developed and applied at present. For example, some commercial reactors have complicated operation and high investment costs, and some commercial reactors and self-developed reactors may ignore the cultivation of microalgae. The demand for light in the process, such as the light transmission supply problem when the algae cell density increases, cannot adjust the appropriate light intensity and light quality for specific microalgae species, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, and more particularly to a cylindrical airlift high-efficiency photobioreactor for microalgae cultivation and application thereof, which is applied to targeted microalgae photosynthetic high-density autotrophic cultivation. Background technique [0002] Microalgae are prokaryotic or eukaryotic unicellular photosynthetic microorganisms that are very efficient solar energy converters, distributed in fresh or salt water, by absorbing light energy, water and CO transmitted from the water environment 2 By accumulating biomass, light energy can be converted into chemical energy and stored in cells in the form of organic matter such as oil or starch. As the oldest lower photosynthetic organisms, microalgae can directly utilize sunlight, CO 2 And simple nutrients such as N and P grow rapidly and synthesize a variety of high-value active substances such as lipids (mainly triglycerides), proteins, polysacchar...
