Syngas fermentation to ethanol

The effects of gas recycling on economics

Syngas fermentation is a biochemical pathway to produce ethanol and has been commercialized successfully. The economic viability of this process could be further improved to become more competitive in the existing ethanol market. Improving gas utilization is the key, and can be d ...
Syngas fermentation is an up-and-coming technology that uses acetogenic microorganisms to produce ethanol at the commercial scale. Acetogens can produce many different types of products via their metabolic pathway called the Wood Ljugdahl Pathway (WLP). The WLP can natively produ ...
The concept of liquid metal membranes for hydrogen separation, based on gallium or indium, was recently introduced as an alternative to conventional palladium-based membranes. The potential of this class of gas separation materials was mainly attributed to the promise of higher h ...
Nowadays, nearly 50% of the hydrogen produced worldwide comes from Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) at an environmental burden of 10.5 tCO2,eq/tH2, accelerating the consequences of global warming. One way to produce clean hydrogen is via methane pyrolysis using ...
The application of membrane assisted fluidized bed reactors for distributed energy production has generated considerable research interest during the past few years. It is widely accepted that, due to better heat and mass transfer characteristics inside fluidized bed reactors, th ...
