fermentation: An economic evaluation for acetic acid
نویسندگان
چکیده
12 Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) and anaerobic fermentation (AF) are two biological processes 13 capable of reducing CO2, CO and water into acetic acid, an essential industrial reagent. In this 14 study, we evaluated investment and production costs of acetic acid via MES and AF, and compared 15 them to industrial chemical processes: methanol carbonylation and ethane direct oxidation. 16

Isolation, identification and characterization of thermo-tolerant acetic acid bacteria for semi-continuous acetous fermentation at high temperature
Nowadays, vinegar is industrially produced by mesophilic acetic acid bacteria (AAB). However, temperature fluctuation during acetous fermentation is inevitable, and may cause process disturbances. This can be mostly avoided using thermo-tolerant AAB. The main purpose of the present study was to isolate thermo-tolerant AAB. Fermentation performances were then evaluated. Twenty-eight different is...

متن کاملBiorefining of lignocellulosic feedstock--Technical, economic and environmental considerations.
Biorefinery, an example of a multiple products system, integrates biomass conversion processes and equipment to produce fuels, power and chemicals from biomass. This study focuses on technical design, economic and environmental analysis of a lignocellulosic feedstock (LCF) biorefinery producing ethanol, succinic acid, acetic acid and electricity. As the potential worldwide demand of succinic ac...
متن کاملAcetic Acid Production by an Electrodialysis Fermentation Method with a Computerized Control System.
In acetic acid fermentation by Acetobacter aceti, the acetic acid produced inhibits the production of acetic acid by this microorganism. To alleviate this inhibitory effect, we developed an electrodialysis fermentation method such that acetic acid is continuously removed from the broth. The fermentation unit has a computerized system for the control of the pH and the concentration of ethanol in...
متن کاملTranscriptional profiling reveals molecular basis and novel genetic targets for improved resistance to multiple fermentation inhibitors in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
BACKGROUND Lignocellulosic biomass is a promising source of renewable biofuels. However, pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass generates fermentation inhibitors that adversely affect the growth of industrial microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae and prevent economic production of lignocellulosic biofuels. A critical challenge on developing S. cerevisiae with improved inhibitor resis...
