To develop a more effective dissolved air flotation process for harvesting microalgae biomass, a co-flocculation/air flotation (CAF) system was developed that uses an ejector followed by a helix tube flocculation reactor (HTFR) as a co-flocculation device to harvest Chlorella sp. 64.01.
The optimal size distribution of micro-bubbles and an air release efficiency of 96 % were obtained when the flow ratio of inlet fluid (raw water) to motive fluid (saturated water) of the ejector was 0.14. With a reaction time of 24 s in the HTFR, microalgae cells and micro-bubbles were well flocculated, and these aerated flocs caused a fast rising velocity (96 m/h) and high harvesting efficiency (94 %).
In a CAF process, micro-bubbles can be encapsulated into microalgae flocs, which makes aerated flocs more stable. CAF is an effective approach to harvesting microalgae.
为开发一种更有效的用于收获微藻生物质的溶气气浮工艺,开发了一种共絮凝/气浮(CAF)系统,该系统使用喷射器,随后是螺旋管絮凝反应器(HTFR)作为共絮凝装置来收获小球藻64.01。
当喷射器的入口流体(原水)与驱动流体(饱和水)的流量比为0.14时,获得了最佳的微气泡尺寸分布和气释放效率96%。在HTFR中反应时间为24秒时,微藻细胞和微气泡得到了良好的絮凝,这些充气絮凝物导致快速上升速度(96米/小时)和高收获效率(94%)。
在CAF工艺中,微气泡可以包裹在微藻絮凝物中,这使得充气絮凝物更稳定。CAF是收获微藻的有效方法。
