Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a method for culturing microalgae based on an artificial intelligence microalgae mixing system, aiming at improving the production efficiency of the microalgae culturing system and solving the problem of energy consumption of the microalgae culturing system which is wasted in non-optimal production time. The artificial intelligence mixed microalgae system adjusts the mixing intensity through the culture solution temperature and the illumination intensity (light intensity) detected in real time, so that the excessive energy is prevented from being wasted in the non-optimal production time, the saved energy consumption can be used for improving the mixing efficiency in the optimal production time, and the purposes of energy conservation and high efficiency production are achieved.
Prior to the present disclosure, in order to improve the production efficiency of the culture system, the mixing efficiency is generally improved by increasing the mixing intensity or by adding a baffle inside the culture system. Although these methods can significantly improve the production efficiency of the culture system, they all come at the expense of higher energy consumption. This is mainly because these methods do not take into account the mismatch between the temperature and the light intensity due to the natural light-dark cycle, i.e., the optimal temperature and the optimal illumination intensity of the microalgae cannot be synchronized, and the time during which the optimal temperature and the optimal illumination intensity can be maintained at the same time in one day is very limited. Thus, the above method wastes excessive energy in a non-optimal production time that is long. In contrast, the technology disclosed by the invention utilizes an artificial intelligence microalgae mixing system to culture microalgae, and the system realizes the balanced management of mixing energy by a method of measuring the temperature and the light intensity in real time to adjust the mixing intensity, so that the mixing energy is intensively utilized in the optimal growth time, and the excessive waste in the non-optimal production time is avoided.

The following is merely an exemplary illustration of the scope of the claims of the present application and various changes and modifications of the invention of the present application may be made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure, which should also fall within the scope of the claims of the present application.
EXAMPLE 1 Effect of temperature and light intensity on Spirulina growth
Firstly, the following culture media are prepared: 25.2g L-1NaHCO3,2.5g L-1NaNO3,0.04g L-1CaCl2·2H2O,1.0g L-1K2SO4,0.5g L-1K2HPO4,0.2g L-1MgSO4·7H2O,0.01g L-1FeSO4·7H2O,1.979g L- 1MoCl2·4H2O,3.092g L-1H3BO3,0.484g L-1NaMo4·2H2O,0.23g L-1ZnSO4·7H2O,0.183g L- 1NaVO3,0.048g L-1CoCl2·6H2O,0.2g L-1CuSO4·5H2O。
The culture medium was injected into a rectangular tubular photobioreactor of 10cm height, 5.0cm width and 20cm length, the mixing of the reaction was provided by a rocking platform set at 60rpm in a continuous mode. Then fresh spirulina FACHB-314 was inoculated into the reactor, and the final inoculum volume and inoculum density were controlled to 200ml and 0.1g L respectively-1. Finally, at 50, 200 and 400. mu. mol. m, respectively-2·s-1Under three continuous illumination intensities, the influence of temperatures of 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 ℃ and the like on the growth of the spirulina is examined, and the culture time is 2 days.
As shown in FIG. 2, at low light intensity (50.0. mu. mol. m)-2·s-1) Under culture conditions, specific growth rates of spirulina were less than 1 at all temperature conditions studied. At a low temperature of<20 deg.C), high light intensity (200 and 400. mu. mol. m)-2·s-1) The specific growth rate of spirulina under the culture conditions is also less than 1. In contrast, spirulina was found to have high luminous intensity (200 and 400. mu. mol. m)-2·s-1) The specific growth rate under the culture conditions of 20-35 ℃ is greater than 1, wherein at 400 [ mu ] mol.m-2·s-1The specific growth rate under the culture condition of 25 ℃ is the maximum and is 1.83 +/-0.01 d-1. The above results indicate that spirulina grows fastest only under the condition of optimum temperature and optimum illumination intensity at the same time.
Example 2 Intelligent open pond culture of Spirulina
The 400L of the medium described in example 1 was poured into a 2.0m cultivation area2The thickness of the liquid layer after the culture medium is injected into the raceway pond is 20.0 cm. The mixing of the culture solution in the open pond is driven by a stirring paddle of the culture solution, wherein the stirring paddle is connected with a controller of the intelligent mixing system through a data line and is operated under the instruction of the controller. In addition, the controller is also respectively connected with a light intensity instrument and a thermometer and is respectively used for detecting and acquiring light intensity and temperature, wherein the measured temperature is the temperature of the culture solutionAnd (4) degree. The controller will be programmed to control the speed of rotation of the paddles according to the data detected in real time, according to the experimental results from example 1. A specific intelligent open cell mixing control strategy, under which the paddles would be adjusted and operated in real time at motor speeds of 30, 120, 200, 260, 320rpm, is shown in the table below. As a control, two additional identical open cells were set, but they were constantly operated at stirring speeds of 30rpm and 320rpm, respectively, and were designated as low-speed open cells and high-speed open cells, respectively. Finally according to 0.05g L-1The spirulina is inoculated with the spirulina FACHB-314, and the spirulina is cultured under the outdoor natural condition, the stirring paddle runs for 14 hours every day (from 5 o 'clock to 7 o' clock later), and the culture time is 9 days.
Note: illumination intensity L unit: μ mol. m-2·s-1Temperature, T units: DEG C, motor speed n unit: rpm.
As shown in FIG. 3, after 9 days of culture, the intelligent open cell obtained the same cell density as the high-speed open cell, which was 0.233. + -. 0.00g L-And 0.237. + -. 0.01g L-1And there is no significant difference (p) between them<0.05). And the cell density of the two open cells is higher than that of the low-speed open cell (0.186 +/-0.01 g L)-1,p>0.05), which indicates that enhancing the mixing efficiency can significantly improve the production efficiency. More importantly, the intelligent open pond of the invention also saves 38.6% of energy when the same culture level as the high-speed open pond is achieved, wherein the energy consumption of the intelligent open pond and the open pond is 12.18kWh and 19.85kWh respectively. In conclusion, the invention can save energy consumption and maintain higher production efficiency.
