Abstract:
The present invention relates to an amonoclay-coated magnetic material capable of easily, rapidly, and continuously harvesting microalgae, a method of manufacturing the same, and a method of harvesting microalgae using the same. The method of manufacturing the amonoclay-coated magnetic material according to the present invention includes: mixing a water solution in which amonoclay is melted with a water solution in which a ferric ion is melted; reducing an iron ion to a magnetic material by adding metal hydride to the water solution in which the amonoclay and the ferric ion are melted, so that the amonoclay is coated on the surface of the magnetic material; and cleaning the amonoclay-coated magnetic material with distilled water.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a photocatalyst material coated with aminoclay and a method for producing the same, wherein microalgae are rapidly and easily harvested, and lipid extraction can be easily performed by decomposing the cell membranes of the harvested microalgae by utilizing the photocatalyst properties of the photocatalyst material. The method for producing a photocatalyst material coated with aminoclay of the present invention comprises: a first step of preparing a solution including aminoclay and a photocatalyst material; a second step of coating the surface of the photocatalyst material with the aminoclay by irradiating the solution by ultrasonic waves; and a third step of drying the photocatalyst material coated with the aminoclay. Moreover, a method for destroying microalgae cells using the photocatalyst material coated with aminoclay comprises: a first step of mixing a microalgae solution with the photocatalyst material coated with aminoclay; a second step of harvesting microalgae from the microalgae solution by adsorbing and precipitating the photocatalyst material coated with aminoclay to the microalgae; and a third step of decomposing the cell membranes of the microalgae by irradiating UV rays onto the harvested microalgae.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a vinyl sheet-type photobioreactor capable of adjusting temperature and to a method for installing the same. A plurality of the vinyl sheet-type photobioreactors is arranged so that photosynthesis microorganisms can be mass produced. A plurality of penetrating units formed on reactive sheets is arranged in a window shape so that light transmittance is improved. Each of the reactive sheets is connected with each other through a connecting unit so that photosynthesis microorganisms can be obtained at once. The reactive sheets are heated through a temperature adjusting unit so that the proliferation of the photosynthesis microorganisms can be easily performed. The vinyl sheet-type photobioreactor comprises: a reactive sheet which is made of vinyl material, includes a culture space for accommodating photosynthesis microorganisms and a culture medium liquid, and has front and rear surfaces which are adhered by means of heat adhesion so that a plurality of penetrating units is formed; a gas supplying unit which supplies carbon dioxide into the reactive sheet; a gate unit which discharges oxygen generated by means of the photosynthesis of the photosynthesis microorganisms from the carbon dioxide supplied into the reactive sheet; a connecting unit which is formed on both ends of each reactive sheet so that the reactive sheets are linearly connected; and a temperature adjusting unit which covers the outer surfaces of the reactive sheets and receives any one of generation plant discharged water, warm water, heated air, cool water, and cool air so that the reactive sheets are heated.
