Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pollutant treatment equipment, and in particular to a photobioreactor system suitable for treating pollutants and fixing carbon. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of my country's economic level and the substantial increase in population, many difficult-to-treat pollutants have been generated, such as various types of slurries such as sludge and organic matter, which seriously endanger the ecological environment; in the prior art, the unique properties of supercritical water are used to efficiently decompose and transform waste; the main component of the waste gas generated by the supercritical water treatment system is carbon dioxide, the main component of the waste water generated is part of the difficult-to-degrade organic matter, and the main component of the waste residue generated is metal salts; and microalgae have many advantages such as fast growth rate, strong carbon fixation ability, high photosynthesis efficiency, and high energy product yield. In the prior art, in order to meet the demand for carbon fixation and the cultivation of microalgae, the supercritical water treatment system is generally connected in series with the microalgae cultivation system, and the waste gas and wastewater obtained by the supercritical water treatment system are used to cultivate microalgae (to achieve pollutant treatment and carbon fixation).
[0003] At present, the devices mainly used in the photobioreactor for cultivating microalgae are open devices and closed devices; the open devices are mainly runway-type shallow water devices, curtain-type devices, etc., although these devices have low investment costs, but because they are open, they occupy a large area, the conditions for cultivating microalgae are uncontrollable, and they are easily affected by weather, temperature, mosquitoes and debris, which is not conducive to large-scale production and processing; the closed devices are mainly columnar devices, cubic devices, spherical devices and pipeline devices; these devices can overcome the influence of external conditions, and are effectively controlled in scale, volume, specific surface area, and floor space, and can improve gas exchange and increase its utilization rate; but in the cultivation process, since microalgae is a photoautotrophic organism, it is very sensitive to parameters such as temperature, pH value, dissolved oxygen, culture medium concentration, and light intensity during growth. Due to competition for nutrients and light between cells, a serious wall adhesion phenomenon is formed. After wall adhesion, the light reaching the inside of the reactor is weakened, which in turn affects the growth and reproduction of internal algae cells; in order to ensure the growth and reproduction of algae cells, it is necessary to regularly clean the closed microalgae cultivation system, and the maintenance cost and complexity are both high.
[0004] The columnar photobioreactor is a vertical cylinder made of transparent material. This type of reactor is usually equipped with an aeration device at the bottom, so it can provide more effective mixing, higher gas-liquid mass transfer rate and better controllable conditions, and the strong mixing degree and gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency can make up for part of the lack of light. However, in large-scale cultivation, the surface area ratio becomes smaller and smaller with the increase of size, and the light attenuation inside the algae liquid is serious, and the photosynthetic efficiency is low. Due to the large volume of the large-capacity container, the amount of culture liquid is large, and the input carbon dioxide is relatively difficult to disperse quickly and evenly, and the generated oxygen is relatively difficult to output, which has a greater negative impact on the efficiency of microalgae cultivation. In the prior art, in order to cultivate microalgae efficiently and make full use of light energy, a mechanical stirring component is usually added to the culture container to increase the turbulence in the algae liquid and increase the flow rate of the algae liquid in the container. Although the mechanical stirring method can accelerate the flow of the algae liquid, the microalgae are greatly damaged during the stirring process.
[0005] If, in order to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned columnar photobioreactor, a plurality of relatively small cylindrical containers are simply connected in parallel as reaction containers, although the above-mentioned defects of using large-capacity containers as reaction containers are overcome, in order to realize the automated cleaning of the adherent microalgae, a plurality of components for cleaning the adherent microalgae need to be provided in the microalgae cultivation system, and these components need to be equipped with independent power sources, and the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost are relatively high.
[0006] Therefore, there is a need for a photobioreactor system that is less affected by the external environment, can conveniently and efficiently complete the cleaning of adherent microalgae, has a high carbon dioxide utilization rate (good carbon fixation effect), has a high efficiency in stirring the algae liquid, causes less damage to the microalgae when stirring the algae liquid, has a relatively simple structure, and can use a power system to drive the scrapers in multiple culture tubes to move, which is suitable for treating pollutants and fixing carbon.

[0102] Preferably, during the up and down movement of the annular scraper 730, the annular scraper 730 can be controlled to shake and move up and down by controlling the magnetic force change and lifting of the annular magnet 620, so as to shake off the debris stuck on it, thereby achieving self-cleaning and obtaining a more stable cleaning effect.
[0103] Preferably, Fig.10 As shown, a built-in columnar bin 300 has multiple built-in cleaning plates 700 built in, and the multiple built-in cleaning plates 700 are stacked together. The hardness of the annular scrapers 730 of different built-in cleaning plates 700 is different; different built-in cleaning plates 700 are selected as needed during cleaning.

[0105] The present invention solves the technical problems in the prior art that the photobioreactor system is greatly disturbed by the external environment, it is difficult to efficiently and conveniently complete the cleaning of the microalgae attached to the wall, the carbon dioxide utilization rate is low, the negative impact on the microalgae when the algae liquid is stirred is large, the structure is complex and the cost is high; the technical effects that the photobioreactor system is less disturbed by the external environment, can conveniently and efficiently complete the cleaning of the microalgae attached to the wall, has a good carbon fixation effect, a high efficiency in stirring the algae liquid, less damage to the microalgae when stirring the algae liquid, a relatively simple structure and a relatively low cost are achieved.
[0106] Embodiment 2
[0107] In order to keep the annular scraper 730 clean and have a strong self-cleaning ability, thereby obtaining a more stable scraping effect; the embodiment of the present application increases the number of built-in cleaning plates 700 in the built-in columnar bin 300 on the basis of the above embodiment, and optimizes and improves the structure of the built-in cleaning plates 700; specifically:
[0108] like Fig.11 As shown, a built-in columnar bin 300 has three built-in cleaning plates 700 built in, and the three built-in cleaning plates 700 are stacked and fixed together;
[0109] For the convenience of description, the three built-in cleaning plates 700 are defined as a top plate, a middle plate, and a bottom plate respectively;
[0110] The top plate and the bottom plate are not provided with annular scrapers 730 and side annular bags 720, and the base carrier plates 710 of the two plates are provided with guide holes 750; the guide holes 750 are through holes for guiding water flow to flush the annular scrapers 730 on the middle plate;
[0111] The base carrier plates 710 of the three built-in cleaning plates 700 are densely covered with channel holes 713;
[0112] The guide holes 750 on the top plate are arranged obliquely and close to the edge of the base carrier plate 710. There are 10 or more guide holes 750 on the top plate, which are larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. When the top plate moves up, the water flow is guided to flush the annular scraper 730 on the middle plate.
[0113] The guide holes 750 on the bottom plate are arranged obliquely and close to the edge of the base carrier plate 710. There are 10 or more guide holes 750 on the bottom plate, which are small at the top and large at the bottom. When the bottom plate moves downward, the water flow is guided to flush the annular scraper 730 on the middle plate.
[0114] The annular magnet 620 is an electromagnet;
[0115] When the built-in cleaning plates 700 move up and down to clean the pipe wall, the adsorption middle plate drives the three built-in cleaning plates 700 to move up and down together.
[0116] Preferably, a side annular capsule 720 is provided on the top plate, and the top plate is stacked on the middle plate but not fixed; the height (thickness) of the annular magnet 620 is smaller than the thickness of the middle plate and the top plate; when only stirring is required (no scraping and cleaning is required), the top plate can be moved up and down by single adsorption.
[0117] Preferably, the bottom plate is also provided with a side annular bag 720, and when stirring is only required (no scraping and cleaning is required), different stirring effects can be obtained by adsorbing different numbers of built-in cleaning plates 700.
[0118] When the annular magnet 620 is attracted to move up and down the bottom plate, the annular scraper 730 on the middle plate does not contact the pipe wall, and the water flow guided by the guide hole 750 has a better flushing effect on the annular scraper 730.
[0119] Preferably, Fig.12 As shown, a top cover tank 740 is fixed on the top of the top plate; the top cover tank 740 is a cylindrical tank body with an opening facing downward and densely covered with fine holes on the top; carbon dioxide from the air distributor 140 passes through the channel hole 713 and is partially poured into the top cover tank 740, and the top cover tank 740 redistributes the gas during the lifting and lowering movement of the top plate.
[0120] Preferably, after the top plate carries the top cover tank 740 to a position above the liquid level, gas will be injected into it, and the downward movement will gradually distribute the carried gas (the gas flow has a certain stirring effect).
[0121] Embodiment 3
[0122] Considering that the annular magnet 620 needs to be continuously powered during the up and down movement of the built-in cleaning plate 700; in order to achieve further energy saving, the embodiment of the present application changes the annular magnet 620 into a permanent magnet on the basis of the above embodiment, and adds an electromagnet ring 150 on the top of the side bracket 141; the material of the base carrier plate 710 is changed to a ferromagnetic material; under the premise that the annular magnet 620 does not need to be continuously powered, it is ensured that the side annular capsule 720 still has the function of shaking off debris; specifically:
[0123] like Fig.13 As shown, the electromagnet ring 150 is disposed transversely, and the bottom is fixed to the top of the side bracket 141, and is located directly below the base carrier plate 710;
[0124] When it is necessary to shake off the debris on the side annular bag 720 and the annular scraper 730, the lifting plate 600 can be controlled to move to the bottom; then the electromagnet ring body 150 is energized to adsorb the built-in cleaning plate 700; thereafter, the lifting plate 600 is controlled to move up and down and the electromagnet ring body 150 is controlled to change the magnetic force to achieve shaking cleaning of the side annular bag 720.
[0125] If a built-in columnar bin 300 contains multiple built-in cleaning plates 700, but one or two need to be sucked up and moved at the same time, the adsorption force for the multiple built-in cleaning plates 700 can be adjusted by controlling the magnetic force of the electromagnet ring 150, and then the annular magnet 620 can be used to selectively suck up and move one or more built-in cleaning plates 700.
[0126] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
