[0029] Embodiment

[0030] A tail gas treatment system and a microbial carbon fixation device therein.

[0031] I. Structure of the tail gas treatment system.

[0032] The tail gas treatment system includes an adsorption system and a carbon fixation system. The adsorption system is composed of a regeneration tower, a drying device, and an absorption tower connected in sequence. The carbon fixation system is communicated by a regeneration tower, a microbial carbon fixation device, a solid-liquid separator, and a drying device in sequence.

[0033] II. Working process of the tail gas treatment system.

[0034] The structure of the tail gas treatment system is asFigure 1 as shown

[0035] Workflow: In the adsorption system, the treated chimney tail gas enters the regeneration tower for heat exchange. After preliminary cooling, it enters the drying device, where the heat it contains is used for drying. Then it enters the carbon dioxide absorption tower, where carbon dioxide is absorbed by the lye, and the inert gas that cannot be absorbed is discharged.

[0036] Since the chimney tail gas has a high temperature and may contain harmful substances that affect the growth of microorganisms, the chimney tail gas should first undergo tail gas treatment (cooling, dust removal, heavy metal removal, etc.) before entering this system. The above process greatly reduces the volume of the treated tail gas.

[0037] In the carbon fixation system, the lye that has absorbed carbon dioxide enters the regeneration tower to desorb carbon dioxide. The desorbed carbon dioxide enters the microbial carbon fixation device through the gas inlet 15. After photosynthesis by the microorganisms in the liquid material, the carbon dioxide becomes the carbon source of the microorganisms, enabling them to reproduce continuously. The liquid material containing microorganisms is discharged and enters the solid-liquid separator to obtain a solid phase and a liquid phase. The liquid phase returns to the microbial carbon fixation device, and the solid phase enters the drying device, where it is dried by the heat of the chimney tail gas to become a qualified product for sale.

[0038] III. Structure of the microbial carbon fixation device.

[0039] The structure of the microbial carbon fixation device is as Figure 2 shown, and the structure of the gas injection part 14 is as Figure 3 shown Figure 3 It is a structural diagram of the gas injection part 14 when observed from the bottom of the tank towards the top of the tank.

[0040] The microbial carbon fixation device includes a housing and a tank body 1 enclosed by the housing.

[0041] The tank body 1 is divided into an upper part, a middle part, and a lower part. A breathing valve 11 is provided at the top of the tank. The tank body 1 is used to accommodate the liquid material containing microorganisms;

[0042] A liquid material outlet 12 is provided at the upper part of the tank body 1;

[0043] On the inner wall of the middle part of the tank body 1, a light-emitting component 13 is fixedly provided. The light-emitting component 13 is composed of several light-emitting parts, and the light-emitting parts are evenly and dispersedly fixed on the inner wall. In this embodiment, the light-emitting parts are lamp posts made of LED lights;

[0044] At the lower part of the tank body 1, there are a gas injection member 14 and a gas inlet 15. The gas inlet 15 is communicated with the gas injection member 14. The gas injection member 14 is arranged inside the tank body 1. In this embodiment, the gas injection member 14 is a coiled pipe 141 with a number of gas injection holes 142. The coiled pipe 141 is suspended inside the tank body 1 by a number of brackets fixed to the tank bottom, and does not contact the inner wall. The openings of the gas injection holes 142 face the tank bottom of the tank body 1.

[0045] A temperature adjustment device 2 is arranged outside the tank body 1. The temperature adjustment device 2 surrounds the tank body 1. In this embodiment, the temperature adjustment device 2 is composed of a number of coiled pipes through which circulating water can flow. When the ambient temperature is relatively high, the water-cooling cooling method can be adopted to introduce cold water into the coiled pipes to cool the microbial carbon fixation device. When the ambient temperature is relatively low, hot water can be introduced into the coiled pipes to keep the microbial carbon fixation device warm, so that the microbial carbon fixation device can be maintained at a temperature more suitable for the reproduction of microorganisms.

[0046] IV. Working process of the microbial carbon fixation device.

[0047] After carbon dioxide enters the tank body 1 from the gas inlet 15, it is ejected from the gas injection holes 142 towards the tank bottom. Due to the low density of carbon dioxide, it is mixed with the liquid material by means of the power of the injection airflow. The density of the microorganisms mixed with carbon dioxide and the liquid in the liquid material decreases, so they move upward. Part of the unabsorbed carbon dioxide is released at the liquid surface. Coupled with the fact that part of the carbon dioxide is absorbed by the microorganisms, the density of this part of the liquid material moving upward increases, so it moves downward. Thus, the effect of using carbon dioxide to stir the liquid material in the tank body 1 and making the microorganisms in the liquid material evenly distributed is achieved, and the nutrients are easily delivered to the microorganisms, enabling them to better absorb and utilize carbon dioxide.

[0048] At the same time, during the above-mentioned up-and-down circulation process, due to the light-emitting members uniformly dispersed and fixed on the inner wall providing light sources, the microorganisms can have sufficient light conditions for photosynthesis, solving the problem of poor light conditions under natural conditions (no light at night, inappropriate light spectrum, self-shading of microorganisms, etc.). During the photosynthesis process, carbon dioxide is utilized by the microorganisms as a carbon source. After continuous reproduction for a period of time, the liquid level of the liquid material slowly rises with the growth of the microorganisms and finally reaches the liquid material outlet 12. After the liquid material containing microorganisms is discharged from the liquid material outlet 12, it enters the solid-liquid separator. After solid-liquid separation and drying, qualified products for sale can be obtained.

[0049] In this embodiment, as long as the microorganisms can perform photosynthesis, bacteria, algae, etc. can be selected.

[0050] The technical features of the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as within the scope described in this specification.

[0051] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model patent shall be subject to the appended claims.
