Abstract

Algae are often cultivated in closed system of photobioreactors. In the cultivation, algae cells grow to adhere on the wall surface of a reactor, which results in inhibiting photosynthesis of culture solution. This short paper visualizes the microalgae adhesion on the oil coated wall of a cultivation reactor. A remarkable finding is the fact that the coating of silicone oil could protect the wall surface from the microalgae adhesion. In particular, the coating of silicone oil with the kinematic viscosity larger than 20 [cSt] can be found to reduce the adhesion area on the reactor wall to less than half that on an uncoated reactor.

通过可视化技术减少微藻因涂油而在反应器壁上的附着力

摘要藻类通常在封闭的光生物反应器系统中培养。在培养过程中，藻细胞会附着在反应器的壁面上，从而抑制培养液的光合作用。这篇短文对微藻粘附在培养反应器涂油壁上的情况进行了可视化分析。一个引人注目的发现是，硅油涂层可以保护反应器壁表面免受微藻附着。特别是，运动粘度大于 20 [cSt] 的硅油涂层可以将反应器壁上的粘附面积减少到未涂层反应器的一半以下。
