Hoetmer, Jamie (author)Capturing and utilizing the emissions of CO<sub>2</sub> has become a method to reduce the occurring emissions from industrial flue gases. One of the methodologies to capture and use the CO<sub>2</sub> is through the CO<sub>2</sub> capture and reduction (CCR) process.

Recalde Moreno Del Rocio, M.D.R. (author), Amladi, Amogh (author), Venkataraman, Vikrant (author), Woudstra, T. (author), Aravind, P.V. (author)The low cost of electricity in some areas facilitates the adoption of high-temperature electrolysis plants for the large-scale storage of electricity. Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) is a promising method of syngas production from wet biomass. Additionally, it is a potential source of steam for electrochemical plants. However, the...journal article 2022

(author)In gas fermentations (using O2, CO, H2, CH4 or CO2), gas-to-liquid mass transfer is often regarded as one of the limiting processes. However, it is widely known that components in fermentation broths (e.g., salts, biomass, proteins, antifoam, and organic products such as alcohols and acids) have tremendous impact on the volumetric mass transfer...journal article 2022

Puiman, L. (author), Abrahamson, Britt (author), van der Lans, R.G.J.M. (author), Haringa, C. (author), Noorman, H.J. (author), Picioreanu, C. (author)Mass transfer limitations in syngas fermentation processes are mostly attributed to poor solubility of CO and H<sub>2</sub> in water. Despite these assumed limitations, a syngas fermentation process has recently been commercialized. Using large-sale external-loop gas-lift reactors (EL-GLR), CO-rich off-gases are converted into ethanol, with...journal article 2022

(author)Syngas fermentation to biofuels and chemicals is an emerging technology in the biobased economy. Mass transfer is usually limiting the syngas fermentation rate, due to the low aqueous solubilities of the gaseous substrates. Membrane bioreactors, as efficient gas–liquid contactors, are a promising configuration for overcoming this gas-to...review 2021
