Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of microalgae cultivation technology, specifically relating to a gel mold for high-density microalgae cultivation. Background Technology

[0002] The microalgae carrier with a dense microchannel structure is a highly efficient bioreactor design for microalgae cultivation. Its core is to optimize light energy utilization, gas exchange, and nutrient transfer through a channel network (dense microchannel structure), thereby significantly improving the growth efficiency and biomass yield of microalgae.

[0003] Dense microchannel structures require molds when prepared using gels. Using metal molds presents several drawbacks: economic constraints (CNC machining of stainless steel molds (200×200×10mm) costs > ¥4000 / set); physical limitations (minimum column diameter ≥ 5mm results in pore density < 100 pores / dm² (actual space utilization ≤ 41%)); and chemical incompatibility (Ca²⁺ crosslinking induces metal ion-gel adhesion, leading to a demolding breakage rate > 90%). Using polymer molds also presents drawbacks: process limitations (the column array center-to-center distance is difficult to exceed the 6mm physical limit); structural failure (plastic deformation rate > 25% when the height-to-diameter ratio > 3.75 (e.g., Φ4mm×15mm column); and functional deficiencies (homogeneous structures cannot achieve nutrient gradient regulation).
