Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention relates to a bioreactor including: a container having an inlet and an outlet for a fluid; and a plurality of plate-shaped electrodes disposed in the container, in which a flow path in one direction from the inlet to the outlet is formed inside the container, and the flow path is formed such that opposing flows are adjacent to each other with the plate-shaped electrodes serving as partition walls interposed therebetween.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A bioreactor comprising: a container having an inlet and an outlet for a fluid; and a plurality of plate-shaped electrodes disposed in the container, wherein a flow path in one direction from the inlet to the outlet is formed inside the container, and the flow path is formed such that opposing flows are adjacent to each other with the plate-shaped electrodes serving as partition walls interposed therebetween. 2 . The bioreactor according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between adjacent plate-shaped electrodes is 2 cm or less. 3 . The bioreactor according to claim 1 , wherein an anode electrode and a cathode electrode are alternately arranged in a flow path direction. 4 . The bioreactor according to claim 1 , further comprising a voltage application device connected to the plurality of plate-shaped electrodes. 5 . A carbon dioxide recycling system comprising: a storage unit storing anaerobic groundwater; a reaction unit converting carbon dioxide contained in the anaerobic groundwater into a resource substance by an electrochemical reaction by a microorganism; and a transfer unit transferring the anaerobic groundwater from the storage unit to the reaction unit, wherein the reaction unit has the bioreactor according to claim 1 . 6 . The recycling system according to claim 5 , wherein the transfer unit has a dissolving means for further dissolving carbon dioxide in the anaerobic groundwater. 7 . The bioreactor according to claim 2 , wherein an anode electrode and a cathode electrode are alternately arranged in a flow path direction. 8 . The bioreactor according to claim 2 , further comprising a voltage application device connected to the plurality of plate-shaped electrodes. 9 . The bioreactor according to claim 3 , further comprising a voltage application device connected to the plurality of plate-shaped electrodes. 10 . The bioreactor according to claim 7 , further comprising a voltage application device connected to the plurality of plate-shaped electrodes.
