TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of gas purification, and particularly relates to a method for treating hydrogen sulfide-containing tail gas based on microalgae. BACKGROUND
[0002] Air pollution and atmospheric pollutants have become a serious problem in public health and environmental protection. Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic and harmful gas that poses a serious threat to human, animal and plant health and the environment. It is widely present in industries that produce waste gas, such as sewage treatment plants, chemical plants and food processing plants. Traditional methods for removing hydrogen sulfide include chemical methods, physical methods and biological methods. Among them, the chemical method mainly uses oxidizing agents, reducing agents and absorbents and other chemical reagents to remove hydrogen sulfide. This method has the problems of high cost, complex operation and secondary pollution. The physical method mainly uses adsorption, absorption and other physical processes to remove hydrogen sulfide. Although this method is more environmentally friendly than the chemical method, it has lower efficiency. The biological method uses the ability of microorganisms to metabolize hydrogen sulfide to remove hydrogen sulfide, and has the advantages of low cost, high efficiency, simple operation and environmental protection. However, the current method for removing hydrogen sulfide using microorganisms has the defects of slow growth rate of microorganisms and sensitivity of strains to environmental conditions. Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a new desulfurization technology that is efficient, economical and environmentally friendly.
[0003] Microalgae are a group of microscopic single-cell organisms that can only be distinguished under a microscope. They are the lowest autotrophic aquatic organisms and are widely distributed in various water bodies in nature, including oceans, freshwater, ponds and rivers. Microalgae play an important role in the entire global ecosystem. As the largest solar assimilator in the ecological circle, microalgae provide more than 50% of the primary productivity and oxygen to the earth with less than 1% of the biomass of higher plants. They are the highest-efficiency photosynthetic organisms.
[0004] There are many types of bioenergy that can be developed and sourced from a wide range of sources. Among the many raw materials for producing bioenergy, microalgae have the advantages of high photosynthetic efficiency, fast growth rate, high oil content, non-arable land occupation, waste water and waste gas cultivation, and year-round production, making them a typical representative of the third generation of bioenergy. They can be used to produce healthy food, cosmetics, medicine, biofuels and other products. In addition, microalgae can also be used for biological adsorption, water treatment and environmental purification.
[0005] At present, microalgae is only one of the tools for biological carbon sequestration and removal of other harmful gases, however, in recent years, the energy crisis has become increasingly prominent. Therefore, the use of microalgae resources to help solve the environmental and energy problems at the same time has attracted much attention. The microalgae desulfurization technology is still in the research stage, and the technology for removing hydrogen sulfide by using microalgae is less, and is mainly applied to the purification of biogas. Meier et al. used chlorella to purify biogas, completely removed the hydrogen sulfide gas in the biogas, and found that there was a high dissolved oxygen condition in the system and the final oxidation product of sulfide was sulfate. Prandini et al. used microalgae to remove 3000 ppm of hydrogen sulfide under autotrophic conditions. Unlike sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, the hydrogen sulfide removal process of microalgae can be attributed to direct assimilation and oxidation, and hydrogen sulfide is mainly oxidized to sulfide, thiosulfate and sulfite in the microalgae system, and then these sulfur oxides are further oxidized by oxygen to generate sulfate, and serve as the main sulfur source for the assimilation process of microalgae. The above results prove that microalgae have the potential to remove hydrogen sulfide.
[0006] The microalgae desulfurization technology is one of the hotspots of current research, and is still in the stage of continuous research and development and improvement. Compared with the traditional chemical absorption and biological desulfurization method, the microalgae desulfurization technology has the advantages of low cost, low energy consumption, long service life, no secondary pollution, etc., and has broad application prospect and very important significance.
