Microbial Conversion: Gasification

摘要: This chapter discusses the early work on methane fermentation, basic biochemistry and microbiology of organisms involved, way process is performed, some advancements that have improved process, status efforts to expand commercial use. The microbial generation hydrogen factors limited use menthane fermentation are also discussed. Methane a multistage process. complex polymers compounds in biomass degraded lower molecular weight intermediates, which converted carbon dioxide. Although this representation an oversimplification complicated microbiological transformations, it useful explaining characteristics anaerobic digestion such as effect pH acid buildup. can be maintained large scale for indefinite period long important parameters kept within acceptable range fermentable material available. Almost any kind feedstock mixture suitable, with possible exception lignins keratins having low biodegradabilities. But even these materials undergo gasification over periods time.
