[0002] Nannochloropsis is a single-cell marine microalgae that has attracted widespread attention for its rapid growth, high photosynthesis efficiency, and rich content of oils, proteins and other valuable bioactive substances. Nannochloropsis cultivation refers to the process of artificially propagating Nannochloropsis in large quantities under specific conditions, aiming to maximize the accumulation of its biomass and target products. However, Nannochloropsis is very sensitive to environmental parameters such as light intensity, water temperature, nutrient solution ratio and CO2 concentration. Traditional methods are difficult to achieve precise regulation of these parameters, which affects the growth rate and biomass of Nannochloropsis. In addition, traditional systems lack the ability to monitor gas composition in real time and cannot dynamically adjust operating parameters according to actual conditions, resulting in unstable CO2 capture effects. At the same time, traditional tail gas recovery devices have a low recovery rate for CO2 that is not fully absorbed, and there is a large demand for fresh CO2 supplementation, which increases operating costs.

In the process, dynamically manage the fresh CO2 replenishment amount and the reuse ratio of the recovered CO2;

[0049] Specifically, a tail gas recovery device is designed by combining a high-efficiency compressor and a condenser to separate and recover CO2 that is not completely absorbed. After treatment, the CO2 is reintroduced into the culture gas column. During the process, the fresh CCO2 supplement amount and the reuse ratio of the recovered CO2 are dynamically managed. The specific steps are as follows: in the tail gas recovery device, a combination of a high-efficiency compressor and a condenser is selected, and during the compression and condensation process, a multi-stage filter is set to remove particulate matter, moisture and harmful components in the tail gas; the gas after compression and condensation enters the liquefaction separation tower, CO2 is liquefied under low temperature and high pressure conditions, separated from other gas components, and the separated liquid CO2 is collected and stored, and reintroduced into the culture gas column; high-precision gas analyzers and sensors are deployed at the inlet and outlet of the liquefaction separation tower to continuously monitor the gas composition and transmit the data to the central control unit through a wireless communication protocol; before the recovered CO2 is reintroduced into the culture gas column, it will be purified to remove residual trace impurities; according to the data received by the central control unit, the amount of CO2 reintroduced into the culture gas column is dynamically adjusted, and the expression is:

The setting of multi-stage filters removes particulate matter, moisture and other harmful components in the exhaust gas, ensuring the quality of the recovered CO2. The compressed and condensed gas enters the liquefaction separation tower, and CO2 is liquefied and separated from other gas components under low temperature and high pressure conditions. The separated liquid CO2 is collected, stored, and reintroduced into the culture gas column. The process not only improves the utilization rate of CO2 and reduces the demand for fresh CO2 replenishment, but also reduces operating costs. The dynamic management of the fresh CO2 replenishment amount and the reuse ratio of recovered CO2 further optimizes the overall performance of the system, realizes the maximum utilization of resources and the improvement of economic benefits, while reducing carbon emissions, meeting the requirements of green development.

[0053] S5, the Nannochloropsis algae in the microenvironment simulator starts the CO2 concentration mechanism, uses photosynthesis to convert the purified CO2 provided by the capture unit and the dissolved inorganic carbon in the water body into organic matter, thereby obtaining the Nannochloropsis algae organism, and when the Nannochloropsis algae reaches a mature stage, uses a centrifuge to collect the mature Nannochloropsis algae in the microenvironment simulator;

[0054] Specifically, the microenvironment simulator uses photosynthesis to convert the purified CO2 provided by the capture unit and the dissolved inorganic carbon in the water into organic matter to obtain the microenvironment simulator. When the microenvironment simulator reaches maturity, the mature microenvironment simulator is collected by a centrifuge. The specific steps are as follows: the specific protein on the surface of the microenvironment simulator actively transports HCO3 in the seawater. - After entering the cell, it is rapidly converted into CO2 under the action of carbonic anhydrase and concentrated around the chloroplast, especially near the position of RuBisCO. In the microenvironment simulator, the micro-chlorophyll algae utilizes the purified CO2 provided by the capture unit and the dissolved inorganic carbon in the water body through photosynthesis, and combines light energy to convert the carbon source into organic matter to form the micro-chlorophyll algae organism. In this process, the photosystem PSII and the photosystem PSI capture the photon energy to generate ATP and NADPH, and then fix CO2 into G3P ​​through the Calvin cycle, and finally synthesize polysaccharides such as glucose, lipids and proteins. The small-scale automatic control platform based on the Internet of Things technology will dynamically adjust the light intensity, water temperature and CO2 concentration according to the real-time monitoring data. The growth of micro-chlorophyll algae is continuously monitored through high-precision sensors, including cell density and dry weight indicators, to determine whether it has reached the mature stage. Select an efficient centrifuge to collect micro-chlorophyll algae with a maturity OD750 value between 2 and 3.

[0056] Among them, C final is the final amount of Nannochloropsis collected, C initial is the amount of Nannochloropsis in the initial culture air column, k is the collection efficiency coefficient, and t is the collection time.

[0057] It should be noted that specific proteins on the surface of Nannochloropsis cells actively transport HCO3 in seawater. -After entering the cell, it is rapidly converted into CO2 under the action of carbonic anhydrase and concentrated around the chloroplasts, especially near RuBisCO, which not only increases RuBisCO's affinity for CO2, but also reduces the competition of oxygen with it, thereby significantly enhancing the carbon fixation efficiency. In the microenvironment simulator, Nannochloropsis algae utilizes the purified CO2 provided by the capture unit and the dissolved inorganic carbon in the water body through photosynthesis, and combines light energy to convert these carbon sources into organic matter to form Nannochloropsis algae organisms. In this process, photosystems PSII and PSI capture photon energy to generate ATP and NADPH, and then fix CO2 into G3P ​​through the Calvin cycle. And finally synthesize polysaccharides such as glucose, lipids and proteins. The small-scale automated control platform based on the Internet of Things technology dynamically adjusts the light intensity, water temperature and CO2 concentration according to the real-time monitoring data to ensure that the Nannochloropsis is always in the best growth state. High-precision sensors continuously monitor the growth of Nannochloropsis, including cell density and dry weight indicators, to determine whether it has reached the maturity stage. The use of high-efficiency centrifuges to collect mature Nannochloropsis ensures the efficiency and non-destructiveness of the collection process, and optimizes the collection efficiency of the centrifuge at different time points, which not only improves the harvest rate, but also reduces the loss during the collection process, ensuring the quality and quantity of Nannochloropsis, and providing high-quality materials for subsequent transformation experiments.

[0070] Vitamins: Add 0.5 ml of vitamin mixture per liter of culture medium to promote healthy cell growth.

[0071] It should be noted that all components are mixed under sterile conditions to ensure the cleanliness and biosafety of the culture medium. The culture medium is sterilized at high temperature and high pressure before use to eliminate the possible risk of microbial contamination. By strictly controlling the composition and preparation process of the culture medium, an ideal growth environment is provided for Nannochloropsis, thereby increasing its growth rate and final yield.

[0072] In summary, by selecting activated carbon fiber as the adsorbent and designing a compact capture unit, efficient capture of CO2 from low-flow industrial waste gas is achieved, which not only significantly improves the CO2 capture efficiency, but also reduces the space occupied by the equipment, making it suitable for laboratory-scale applications. By installing a high-precision gas analyzer based on infrared absorption spectroscopy technology at the inlet and outlet of the capture unit and configuring temperature, pressure, and humidity multi-parameter sensors, real-time monitoring of the inlet and outlet gas composition is achieved. The central control unit dynamically adjusts the operating parameters of the capture unit, including temperature and pressure, according to real-time data to optimize the CO2 capture effect. By adjusting the operating parameters of the capture unit, a microenvironment simulator that can accurately simulate natural conditions is constructed to provide the most suitable growth environment for Chlorella. Using LED lamps as light sources, the spectrum and light intensity can be adjusted according to the needs of Chlorella to maximize its photosynthesis efficiency. Combined with high-precision sensors, a small-scale automated control platform based on the Internet of Things technology is developed to achieve precise control of light intensity, water temperature, nutrient solution ratio and CO2 concentration.
