You know? Microalgae, a tiny algae that can only be seen under a microscope, contains a tremendous amount of energy to reduce emissions and protect the environment. On the 19th, the reporter learned from Chongqing University that the school's power engineering The Huangdanian Teachers' Team (Power Engineering and Engineering Thermophysics Faculty Team) is conducting research on the energy conversion of microalgae and its technical level has reached the leading position in China.
Small body microalgae both energy capacity and emission reduction
Today, 70% of China's power generation is still by burning coal, and coal-fired exhaust emissions, especially carbon dioxide on the environment increasingly significant impact, the greenhouse effect is one of them.
In the first group of laborers at the team of Liao Qiang, a professor at the National Huang Taian-style teachers' team in the country, the reporter saw the blue-green microalgae cultivated with various utensils in a thermostatic chamber. The team members told reporters that only micrometer-sized microalgae Like a cell factory, energy sources continue to convert carbon dioxide and wastewater nitrogen, phosphorus and other waste substances into oil, sugar, protein-rich biomass.
While the oil can be converted into biodiesel to replace the fossil fuel we now rely on.Although there is such a great potential microalgae, but there are still major energy bottlenecks in the transformation of microalgae energy.Lu Qiang, team leader Professor Qiao said: 'In order to reduce energy consumption, we take full advantage of solar energy to replace the dependence on electricity and other energy.'
It is understood that the team is building an area of 600 square meters of microalgae cultivation and integration of solar light temperature conversion platform and the use of photovoltaic cells to convert excess sunlight during the day supply of microalgae, so long as the use of solar energy can be achieved microalgae emission reduction And energy conversion.This technology will be extended to the future of industrial emission reduction, wastewater purification plant wastewater and diesel production and other fields, for our energy-saving emission reduction, ecological protection to contribute.
In addition, the team's 'technology for clean and efficient combustion of low-grade solid fuels and energy conversion and utilization' has been applied to the industrial sector, saving more than 200,000 tons of standard coal annually, valued at about 160 million yuan, reducing carbon dioxide emissions by about 500,000 tons and reducing emissions of sulfur dioxide About 15,000 tons. 'High-temperature dusty fumes continuous and efficient waste heat recovery technology' and 'liquid slag efficient recovery and utilization of resources technology' and other key state Ministry of Science and R & D projects, all of our energy-saving emission reduction have Important role.
Hard technology soft heart This team is very cattle love
In 1999, Professor Liao Qiang and Professor Zhu Qiang created this team, and now the team has a total of 15 outstanding teachers, leading over 100 graduate students and was selected as the first group of 'National University Huang Dayan teachers' team by the end of 2017. The team used' Aspirational "as their research criteria, it is necessary to solid basic research, but also with engineering applications.
So many research results can not be separated from the joint efforts of the team, Xia Qiu researcher told reporters that the team's work model can be used '5 + 2, white + black' to sum up, from Monday to Sunday, day and night, they almost all Year-round
In addition to engage in scientific research, the team's biggest hobby is the sport.Teams often organize all kinds of balls, mountaineering and other competitions, so that everyone doing academic but also not forget to exercise. They also stipulate that each person at least one day a week, the number of exercise steps Must reach 10,000 steps, or use a fine as a minor punishment, supervise team members to maintain good physical fitness.
Professor Liao Qiang and Professor Zhu Tuan are members of the team who care for and help the young teachers' work and life.Ju Zhu remembers the birthday of everyone in the team and sends birthday wishes on time. On each business trip to other countries, They all give small gifts to the team's teacher's children and get along like family.
Like Professor Huang Dainn, many members of the team are studying this masterpiece at home, studying abroad, and finally returning to serve the dedication of scientific research. Dr. Fu Qian just went to Japan to read a book under the guidance of Professor Qiao Liao and Professor Qiu Li, At that time, two predecessors gave me the farewell words on the four words - study returned, so I later returned to Chongqing University for scientific research.
It is reported that in July 2017, the Ministry of Education launched the creation of 'National University Huang Dayan Teachers' Team "and selected 200 outstanding ones in the nationwide in terms of ethics, education, research and innovation, social services and team building Of the outstanding teachers team.Chongqing University 'dynamic engineering and engineering thermal physics teacher team' is selected in Chongqing City, one of the first batch of 'national college Huang Dayan teachers' team of five teachers one of the remaining four are Southwest University' rape teacher team 'Southwestern University of Political Science and Law' Economic Law Teachers 'Team, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications' ICT Communication Theory and Technology Teacher Team ', Chongqing Polytechnic Institute' Automotive Manufacturing Group of Teachers 'Team.'
