A novel serial lantern-shaped draft tube (LDT) that generates vortices is proposed to increase radial velocity between dark and light regions for improving CO fixation with microalgae in a gas-lift circumflux column (GCC) photobioreactor. Clockwise vortices are generated in the downflow outerloop of the GCC photobioreactor with LDT. Radial velocity was improved from 1.50 to 4.35 × 10 m/s, thereby decreased liquid cycle period between dark and light regions by 1.9 times. Mixing time decreased by 21%, and mass transfer coefficient increased by 26% with LDT. Liquid radial velocity in the downflow outerloop and mass transfer coefficient in the GCC photobioreactor both first increased and then decreased when single-lantern height was increased. Peak CO fixation rate increased from 0.62 to 0.87 g/L/d, microalgal biomass yield increased by 50%. Removal efficiencies of pollutants (chemical oxygen demand, ammonium, tilmicosin, and ethinylestradiol) in wastewater were 62-90% with microalgae growth in GCC photobioreactor with LDT.
一种新型串联灯笼形导气管(LDT)产生涡流,以增加明暗区域之间的径向速度,从而提高气升环流柱(GCC)光生物反应器中微藻的 CO 固定率。在带有 LDT 的 GCC 光生物反应器的下降外环流中产生顺时针涡流。径向速度从 1.50 提高到 4.35×10 m/s,从而将明暗区域之间的液体循环周期缩短了 1.9 倍。混合时间减少了 21%,传质系数增加了 26%。当单灯笼高度增加时,下降外环流中的液体径向速度和 GCC 光生物反应器中的传质系数均先增加后减少。带有 LDT 的 GCC 光生物反应器中微藻生长时,CO 固定率从 0.62 提高到 0.87 g/L/d,微藻生物量增加了 50%。在 GCC 光生物反应器中使用微藻生长时,废水中的污染物(化学需氧量、氨、替米考星和乙炔雌二醇)的去除效率为 62-90%。
