Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of Haematococcus pluvialis cultivation, and in particular to a Haematococcus pluvialis-MBR coupled biogas slurry purification device and method. Background Art
[0002] Currently, there are two main types of astaxanthin on the market: synthetic astaxanthin and natural astaxanthin. Astaxanthin has strong antioxidant activity and is the most powerful antioxidant substance discovered so far. The functional structure of synthetic astaxanthin is difficult to control, and the use of some chemicals in the synthesis process causes problems such as low safety. Therefore, it is only allowed to be used in animal feed additives and is restricted in the fields of food, cosmetics and medicine. There are three main sources of natural astaxanthin: (1) crustaceans, such as shrimp, crab, fish, etc.; (2) some fungi and bacteria, such as Phaffia rhodozyma, gene-edited Escherichia coli, etc.; (3) microalgae, such as Haematococcus pluvialis (more than 5% dry weight), Botryococcus braunii (0.01% dry weight), and Chloromonas nivalis (0.04% dry weight). Natural astaxanthin has good stability and high safety. It has been proven to be non-toxic and harmless to humans through animal toxicology experiments and human experiments. Therefore, natural astaxanthin is widely used in food, animal feed, cosmetics and medicine.
[0003] The cost of pure culture of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis is high, currently estimated at $7,000 per kilogram, while the market price of synthetic astaxanthin is $2,000, with a production cost of $1,000 per kilogram. A suitable geographical location facilitates efficient cultivation of microalgae, potentially reducing the production cost of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis to $1,800 per kilogram. Wastewater treatment is fundamental to water reuse and plays a vital role in ecosystem protection. Microalgae can remove nutrients and organic matter during their growth and product accumulation, making them a candidate for environmentally friendly water treatment. This also opens new avenues for the synergistic accumulation of bioproducts by microalgae and wastewater treatment, in line with emerging trends in future wastewater treatment.
[0004] Currently, the prior art discloses a patented "one-step" technology for Haematococcus pluvialis. The entire production process, including the growth of green cells, the transformation of motile cells into immotile spores, and the accumulation of astaxanthin in the spores, is completed in an open culture tank. This utilizes a less expensive open tank system, rather than an expensive closed system, reducing investment and production costs and creating favorable conditions for large-scale industrial production. However, the open system in this technology is susceptible to contamination. Haematococcus pluvialis, as an environmentally sensitive algae, is susceptible to biotic and abiotic factors such as microorganisms, light, temperature, and weather, resulting in low yields or even culture failure. Furthermore, pollution control costs are unavoidable. Chinese patent application CN103589643B discloses a culture medium for Haematococcus pluvialis, which focuses on improving the traditional culture medium formula for photosynthetic autotrophic cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis. It can significantly promote the growth of Haematococcus pluvialis, allowing Haematococcus pluvialis to quickly enter the exponential growth phase, reach a high growth density in a short period of time, and maintain its dominant position in the population, thereby helping to minimize the probability of contamination by foreign bacteria, algae, and protozoa during field expansion cultivation, shorten the growth cycle, and increase the success rate of cultivation. This technical solution and existing culture technology both use formulated culture medium for the production of Haematococcus pluvialis, ignoring the high cost of pure culture. Although the selected ingredients such as 3-IBA and 6-BA greatly promote the division and growth of Haematococcus pluvialis, they also increase the cultivation cost. Therefore, reducing the cultivation cost can effectively improve the production value of Haematococcus pluvialis. In addition, technical research has found that Haematococcus pluvialis achieves high biomass, efficient nutrient removal, and high lipid accumulation in domestic secondary effluent. The maximum algae weight was 207 mg / L, and the maximum population growth rate was 1.16×10 4 cells mL -1 d -1 The maximum algal biomass productivity was 27.8 mg / L -1 d -1 Although the nitrogen-phosphorus ratio of the secondary effluent was as high as 15:1, after the stabilization period, the microalgae removed 93.8% of nitrogen and 97.8% of phosphorus, respectively. In addition, as nutrients in the secondary effluent were consumed, the lipid content of Haematococcus pluvialis increased by 43%. The lipid accumulation rate also reached a maximum of 12.0 mg / L. -1 d -1. Compared with other microalgae reported in the literature, Haematococcus pluvialis is superior to most other microalgae in producing biomass, removing nutrients and accumulating oil in domestic secondary sewage. However, the wastewater selected by this technical solution has lower organic matter, nitrogen and phosphorus than other wastewaters, so it can be directly diluted for microalgae cultivation. The small-scale experiments have not verified the feasibility of scale-up, and the safety assessment of algae powder has not been conducted. Although the study confirmed that Haematococcus pluvialis can be used as a wastewater treatment and microalgae biofuel coupling system based on microalgae cultivation, it is not suitable for the treatment of high-concentration and highly polluted wastewater.
[0005] Therefore, how to provide a low-cost microalgae-wastewater purification coupling treatment method suitable for high-concentration, highly polluted wastewater is of great value for the low-cost cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis and the subsequent extraction of natural astaxanthin.

[0018] The present invention also provides a method for purifying Haematococcus pluvialis-MBR coupled biogas slurry using the above-mentioned Haematococcus pluvialis-MBR coupled biogas slurry purification device, comprising the following steps:
[0019] The biogas in the biogas inlet tank enters the MBR membrane treatment device through the water inlet pipe.

[0020] The biogas slurry treated by the MBR membrane treatment device enters the outlet pipe through a water pump and then enters the water storage device; after being sterilized by the ultraviolet sterilization lamp of the water storage device, the pH is adjusted to obtain effluent; the effluent is passed into the Haematococcus pluvialis culture device to culture Haematococcus pluvialis.

[0027] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0029] (2) The method of the present invention can reduce the cost of achieving standard treatment.

The wastewater is deeply treated. MBR, as a high-standard wastewater treatment process, combined with deep treatment of Haematococcus pluvialis, brings wastewater up to standard, conforming to the concept of a green ecological cycle and reducing pollution.

[0065] Example 1
[0066] Use Figure 1 and Figure 2 The method for purifying biogas slurry by coupling Haematococcus pluvialis with MBR is shown, comprising the following steps:
[0067] (1) The pig farm biogas in the biogas inlet barrel enters the MBR membrane treatment device through the water inlet pipe. In the MBR membrane treatment device, the biogas enters the aerobic sedimentation tank, undergoes aerobic treatment, and is digested under the action of microorganisms. The microorganisms decompose macromolecular organic matter into small molecular substances. Under the action of nitrifying bacteria and denitrifying bacteria, ammonia nitrogen is converted into nitrite nitrogen. Part of the nitrite nitrogen is denitrified to form N2 and escapes. Most of it is converted into nitrate nitrogen through aerobic digestion; the inlet pH is controlled at around 7.5, and the dissolved oxygen content during aeration is controlled at 6.0 mg / L. In order to reduce energy consumption, a 3-hour sedimentation treatment is carried out, and the hydraulic retention time is 48 hours; finally, the digestate is discharged into the clear water tank through a suction filtration device;
[0068] The performance parameters of the MBR membrane treatment device are shown in Table 1;
[0069] Table 1 Performance parameters of MBR membrane treatment device
[0070]
[0071] The operating conditions of the MBR membrane treatment unit are shown in Table 2;
[0072] Table 2 Operating conditions of MBR membrane treatment device
[0073]
[0074]
[0075] (2) The biogas slurry treated by the MBR membrane treatment device enters the outlet pipe through the pump and then enters the water storage device; the pH is adjusted to 7.0, filtered with a 0.22 μm membrane, and then sterilized by ultraviolet sterilization lamp in the water storage device for 30 minutes to obtain the effluent;
[0076] (3) The effluent was diluted with sterile distilled water to a 50% dilution culture solution (labeled as 50% EFF), and passed into a Haematococcus pluvialis culture device (250 mL conical flask). Haematococcus pluvialis was inoculated into the conical flask at 15% v / v and cultured in the green phase at a temperature of 24°C, a light intensity of 2500 Lx, and a light-dark ratio of 12 h:12 h.
[0077] After the green stage cultivation, the culture was transferred to high temperature and high light stress, and the red stage stress culture was carried out at a temperature of 30℃, a light intensity of 6500Lx and continuous light to stimulate the accumulation of astaxanthin in Haematococcus pluvialis.
[0078] Comparative Example 1
[0079] This comparative example uses Figure 1 and Figure 2 The method for purifying biogas slurry by coupling Haematococcus pluvialis with MBR is described in detail in Example 1, except that in step (3), the effluent (undiluted) is used as the culture medium (labeled as EFF) to culture Haematococcus pluvialis.
[0080] Comparative Example 2
[0081] In this comparative example, commercially available BG11 culture medium (labeled as BG11) was used to culture Haematococcus pluvialis. For the specific culture method, see Example 1.
[0082] The biomass changes of Haematococcus pluvialis when cultured in different culture media (50% EFF in Example 1, EFF in Comparative Example 1, BG11 in Comparative Example 2) are as follows: Figures 3-4 As shown. Figures 3-4 Green vegetative cells began to grow well on the one-fold diluted MBR effluent (50% EFF). Among the MBR cultures, after four days, the 50% EFF culture had the highest cell growth rate, at 0.245 g / day, similar to that of the pure BG11 culture. By the end of the green phase, biomass concentrations in BG11, 50% EFF, and EFF were 1.78, 1.88, and 1.31 g / L, respectively. These biomass concentration changes indicate that the MBR effluent can provide the necessary growth elements for Haematococcus pluvialis to divide and grow, maintaining its normal growth cycle.
[0083] The removal efficiency of nutrients in biogas slurry by the cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis is shown in Table 3 and Figures 5-7 As shown in Table 3 and Figures 5-7It can be seen that the pH shows an overall trend of first rising, then falling and tending to be stable. However, under pure culture conditions, the pH changes and fluctuates greatly. In 50% EFF, the culture of Haematococcus pluvialis can remove 97.44% of NO3 - -N and 86.85% of TP, ammonia nitrogen was completely removed, and COD showed an upward trend. The concentrations of Ca, S, Fe, Mn, Pb, Cu, Cr, and Zn metal ions in the system also decreased, and Hg and Se were not detected. In EFF, the culture of Haematococcus pluvialis can remove 52.68% of NO3 - -N, 34% NH4 + -N and 71.95% TP, COD and metal ion changes were similar to those of 50% EFF. However, as the culture process progressed, NH4 + -N initially showed an upward trend but subsequently declined. This is likely because the oxygen produced during the cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis was utilized by aerobic bacteria, which denitrified nitrate nitrogen to form ammonia nitrogen. The changes in water quality indicate that Haematococcus pluvialis can utilize nutrients in the wastewater for cell division and growth, and the effluent can be used as a culture medium for Haematococcus pluvialis.
[0084] Table 3 Changes in water quality of biogas slurry (influent) and effluent (p<0.05)
[0085]
[0086]
[0087] The concentration changes of chlorophyll and carotenoids in Haematococcus pluvialis during the green and red phases of culture are shown in Figure 2. Figures 8-11 As shown. Figures 8-9 As shown in the figure, the chlorophyll content gradually increases with the increase of biomass concentration. At the same time, with the consumption of nutrients, the concentration of carotenoids also gradually increases. Astaxanthin is a type of carotenoid, the increase in carotenoid concentration indicates that astaxanthin is gradually accumulating. The microscopic examination results prove that the green period has ended and the Haematococcus pluvialis cells have entered the non-motile cyst spore stage from the swimming stage. Chlorophyll not only plays an important role in absorbing light energy, but also transmits light energy through the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Figures 10-11 As shown, after entering the stress period (red phase culture), as the stress time increases, carotenoids rapidly accumulate, accompanied by chlorophyll degradation. Chlorophyll can be degraded into phytol, which is ultimately oxidized into various isoprenoid compounds. Isoprene pyrophosphate can serve as a substrate for astaxanthin synthesis. Therefore, it is speculated that chlorophyll degradation products may be used to synthesize astaxanthin through certain pathways.
[0088] Astaxanthin accumulation is triggered by high light and high temperature, and then accelerated during the induction process without adding any substances to the culture medium. The astaxanthin content and yield of Haematococcus pluvialis cultured in different culture media (50% EFF in Example 1, EFF in Comparative Example 1, and BG11 in Comparative Example 2) are shown in Figure 2. Figure 12 As shown. Figure 12 Microscopic observation confirmed that green vegetative cells transformed into red cyst cells during the induction process. During this period, the biomass of the induced cells also increased from 1.78, 1.88, and 1.31 g / L to 3.16 g / L, 2.63 g / L, and 1.54 g / L in BG11, 50% EFF, and EFF media, respectively. Astaxanthin concentrations reached 9.28 mg / L, 10.96 mg / L, and 3.41 mg / L, respectively. Astaxanthin contents were 2.99 mg / g, 4.18 mg / g, and 2.21 mg / g, respectively. Based on the entire growth and induction cycle, among the wastewater cultures, 50% EFF medium had the highest astaxanthin production, with the highest cell growth rate and biomass concentration. The astaxanthin production and content in the BG11 pure culture were slightly lower than those in the 50% EFF culture, possibly because BG11 is not the optimal medium for the growth of Haematococcus pluvialis. The use of half-diluted MBR effluent (50% EFF) can meet the basic growth of Haematococcus pluvialis and the accumulation of astaxanthin. Therefore, the production of astaxanthin-rich Haematococcus pluvialis from inorganic waste has high economic value.
[0089] The results of the safety assessment of algae powder are shown in Table 4. Haematococcus pluvialis enriches heavy metal ions in the environment through biosorption, which has a positive significance for the remediation of environmental heavy metals. Metal ions at baseline concentrations significantly promote the growth of Haematococcus pluvialis, and too high or too low concentrations will limit the cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis. Heavy metals are important monitoring indicators when Haematococcus pluvialis biomass is used. The concentrations of As, Hg, Cd, and Pb in algae powder were determined. The results in Table 4 show that the concentrations of the four heavy metal ions in Haematococcus pluvialis biomass are all within the allowable content range stipulated by the EU food safety regulations. The results for Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus were negative, indicating that the Haematococcus pluvialis cultured in the effluent from the pig farm biogas wastewater treatment is safe and meets the requirements for use as food, feed, etc.
