A large number of studies have shown that microalgae is a type of photoautotrophic organism with fast growth and strong adaptability. It has been widely used in the treatment of various wastewaters. Because it can quickly accumulate high-value compounds such as oils, fatty acids, and pigments, it has been considered a new generation of biomass resources, and has broad prospects for development and application in the fields of energy, food, and medicine. Wastewater treatment technology based on microalgae cultivation can effectively achieve carbon emission reduction and alleviate the freshwater resource crisis. At the same time, the obtained microalgae biomass can be used for the extraction of active substances such as oils and fats, as well as the preparation of algae biological products such as aquatic feed and biofertilizers.

[0013] A method for using a device for integrating microalgae cultivation, harvesting and oil preparation comprises the following steps:

[0015] S2: When the chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations of the wastewater are reduced to below 260, 15 and 0.5 mg / L respectively, flocculants are added according to the pre-defined optimal flocculation conditions, and the flocculation of algae cells and further removal of wastewater pollutants are carried out after setting the stirring speed and time;

[0016] S3: When the chemical oxygen demand, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and suspended particle concentrations of the wastewater are reduced to below 120, 10, 0.5 and 10 mg / L respectively, and the pH is within the range of 6-9, the supernatant after flocculation is discharged from the drainage pipe outlet on the lower side of the microalgae cultivation main chamber, and the flocculated algae cells are transferred from the circular hole valve in the middle of the solid-liquid separation partition to the oil preparation chamber, and the pollution index is detected at this time.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the oil preparation chamber is also used for the preliminary extraction of lutein, polysaccharides and protein active substances. The oil preparation method is to first add an oil extractant and then perform microalgae cell wall breaking treatment, followed by leaching. The obtained organic phase is the crude oil extract. The flocculant is prepared from one or more compounds of chitosan, sodium alginate, xanthan gum, starch and cellulose in appropriate proportions.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0020] 1. The present invention can achieve efficient and clean treatment of various types of wastewater, especially seaweed processing wastewater, and rapid harvesting of microalgae cells. The obtained biomass can be further used for the extraction of high-value active substances such as bio-oils and the development of microalgae biological products such as aquatic baits and bio-fertilizers, thereby generating considerable economic benefits. By integrating the treatment of wastewater, the harvesting of highly economical microalgae, and the preparation of active substances, the rapid separation of microalgae cells and culture fluid, and the efficient preparation of oils and fats can be effectively achieved, thereby effectively simplifying the harvesting process of large-scale cultivation of microalgae and significantly reducing the harvesting cost.

[0021] 2. The rotating ring is rotated to separate it from the recessed seat. At this time, the upper transparent tempered glass shell is rotated outside the lower support with the circular axis as the axis. The upper transparent tempered glass shell is rotated to separate from the lower transparent tempered glass shell to expose the solid-liquid separation partition to the outside. At this time, the microalgae and algae residue outside the solid-liquid separation partition can be quickly cleaned to avoid the situation where the microalgae and algae residue are not cleaned thoroughly.

[0022] 3. By setting a self-lifting component, when the upper transparent tempered glass shell drives the rubber gasket to rotate and detach from the inside of the sealing base, the rubber gasket drives the pull rope and pulls it inside the line slot. The pull rope is pulled out of the line slot by the tension and drives the sleeve roller to rotate the sleeve teeth with the roller as the center. The sleeve teeth are meshed with the tooth grooves and drive the baffle plate to move upward outside the outer ring when the upper transparent tempered glass shell is rotated to open, so as to shield the microalgae and algae residue outside the solid-liquid separation partition, thereby preventing the microalgae and algae residue outside the solid-liquid separation partition from leaking out when the upper transparent tempered glass shell is opened.

[0023] 4. The torsion spring arranged inside the circular notch shrinks the circular notch when the sleeve roller rotates. When the upper transparent tempered glass shell is closed again with the lower transparent tempered glass shell, the elastic force generated by the torsion spring drives the sleeve roller to rotate and rewinds the pull rope inside the line notch. When the sleeve roller rotates, it drives the sleeve teeth and the tooth grooves and resets the baffle plate downward, thereby achieving the effect of facilitating the reciprocating use of the device.
