Problems solved by technology

Due to the biological characteristics of microalgae, common collection methods are difficult to apply to the harvesting of their biomass
At present, the methods of collecting microalgae in actual production mainly include centrifugation and flocculant methods, but both have great limitations.
Among them, the centrifugation method has high energy consumption and high cost. Although the collection rate is high, it is not suitable for batch industrial production.
The flocculant method is used alone, and the energy consumption is low, but the collection rate is not high. After flocculation, further follow-up treatment is required to harvest biomass. The cost input is high, and it is difficult to industrialize

Abstract

The invention discloses a cascade, efficient and energy-saving method for harvesting microalgae biomass. The method comprises the following main steps: a prepared flocculant and a microalgae liquid culture are uniformly mixed; the mixed solution enters a sedimentation tank for sedimentation; a part of a supernatant is removed; the residual mixed solution is pumped through a peristaltic pump into a tubular bowl centrifuge to carry out algae-water separation; and finally, the microalgae biomass is harvested. The invention also discloses a cascade, efficient and energy-saving device for harvesting the microalgae biomass. Main devices used contain a flocculation basin, a sedimentation tank, a centrifugal device and a power controller. Flow velocity of an introduced sample is controllable. Sample processing is continuous and sample handling capacity is large. The method and the device are suitable for large-scale production and are suitable for harvesting the microalgae biomass at large scale.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of oil-producing microalgae biomass harvesting, more specifically to a cascading device for harvesting microalgae biomass with high efficiency and energy saving, and also relates to a method for cascading high-efficiency and energy-saving harvesting of microalgae biomass, which is suitable for mass production Rapid and efficient collection of oily microalgal biomass. Background technique [0002] With the increasing consumption of mineral energy and the resulting global climate problems, the whole world is committed to the research, development and utilization of new environmentally friendly renewable energy. Among them, microalgae with high oil content have become one of the most promising renewable energy sources due to their advantages such as high photosynthetic efficiency, short growth cycle, high cell oil content and strong environmental adaptability. [0003] In the industrialization process of using...
