Most of ethanol production processes are limited by lower ethanol production rate and recyclability problem of ethanologenic organism. In the present study, immobilized co-fermenting Saccharomyces cerevisiae GSE1618 was employed for ethanol fermentation using rice straw enzymatic hydrolysate in a packed bed reactor (PBR). The immobilization of S. cerevisiae was performed by entrapment in Ca-alginate for optimization of ethanol production by varying alginic acid concentration, bead size, glucose concentration, temperature and hardening time. Remarkably, extra hardened beads (EHB) immobilized with S. cerevisiae could be used up to repeated 40 fermentation batches. In continuous PBR, maximum 81.82 g L−1 ethanol was obtained with 29.95 g L−1 h−1 productivity with initial glucose concentration of 180 g L−1 in feed at dilution rate of 0.37 h−1. However, maximum ethanol concentration of 40.33 g L−1 (99% yield) with 24.61 g L−1 h−1 productivity was attained at 0.61 h−1 dilution rate in fermentation of un-detoxified rice straw enzymatic hydrolysate (REH). At commercial scale, EHB has great potential for continuous ethanol production with high productivity using lignocellulosic hydrolysate in PBR.  相似文献

Sugar beet juice can serve as feedstock for ethanol product due to its high content of fermentable sugars and high energy output/input ratio. Batch ethanol fermentation of raw juice and thick juice proved that addition of mineral nutrients could not improve ethanol concentration, but could accelerate the fermentation rate. Fermentation of thick juice with an initial pH of 9.1 did not affect the fermentation process. The continuous ethanol fermentation of raw juice was performed at 35 °C with a dilution rate of 0.3 h−1, resulting in ethanol concentration, ethanol yield and productivity of 70.7 g L−1, 89.8% and 21.2 g L−1 h−1, respectively. A two-stage reactor was used in the continuous ethanol fermentation of thick juice by feeding fresh yeast cells into the second reactor. This process was stable at a total process dilution rate of 0.11 h−1 with an overall sugar concentration of 190 g L−1 in the influent. The ethanol concentration was kept at approximately 80 g L−1, corresponding to ethanol yield of 82.5% and productivity of 8.8 g L−1 h−1.  相似文献

Organic acids are envisaged as alternative catalysts to strong mineral acids, in pre-treatment of ligno-cellulosic biomass for anaerobic digestion (AD). To evaluate this hypothesis, an untreated control and four pre-treatments (25 °C for 24 h) involving two levels of maleic acid (34.8 and 69.6 kg m−3), alone and combined with sulphuric acid (4 kg m−3), were studied in three agricultural substrates: Arundo (aka giant reed), Barley straw and B133 fibre sorghum. Methane production was assessed in a batch AD assay (35 °C for 51 days) with 4 g L−1 of volatile solid (VS) load. Fibre composition and structure were investigated through chemical analysis and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry. Arundo and B133 that were the most and least recalcitrant substrate, respectively, staged the highest and lowest increase in methane with high maleic acid: +62% over 218 cm3 g−1 of VS in untreated Arundo; +36% over 284 cm3 g−1 of VS in untreated B133. Barley straw showed an intermediate behaviour (+41% over 269 cm3 g−1 of VS). H2SO4 addition to maleic acid did not improve CH4 output. The large increase in methane yield determined by pre-treatments was reflected in the concurrent decrease of fibre (between 14 and 39% depending on fibrous component). Based on FTIR spectra, bands assigned to hemicellulose and cellulose displayed lower absorbance after pre-treatment, supporting the hypothesis of solubilisation of structural carbohydrates and change in fibre structure. Hence, maleic acid was shown a suitable catalyst to improve biodegradability of ligno-cellulosic biomass, especially in recalcitrant substrates as Arundo.  相似文献

Seaweeds are marine macroalgae found abundantly and viewed as potential source of phycocolloids to produce biofuel. In this study, seaweed spent biomass obtained from alginate production industry and biomass obtained after pigment extraction were found to contain a considerable amount of phycocolloids. These two spent biomasses were investigated for the production of ethanol. In this study, the red seaweed spent biomass of Gracilaria corticata var corticata showed higher content of polysaccharide (190.71 ± 30.67 mg g−1 dry weight) than brown seaweed spent biomass (industrial) (136.28 ± 30.09 mg g−1 dry weight). Hydrolysis of spent biomasses with different concentrations of sulfuric acid (0.1%, 0.5% and 1%) was also investigated. Brown seaweed spent biomass and red seaweed spent biomass exhibited high amount of sugar in 0.5% and 1% sulfuric acid treatment, respectively. Proximate and ultimate composition of seaweed spent biomasses were analysed for energy value. The FT-Raman spectra exhibited similar stretches for both acid hydrolysed spent biomasses with their respective standards. Ethanol produced through a fermentation process using spent hydrolysates with baker's yeast at pH 5.3 was found to be significant. The ethanol yield from brown seaweed spent biomass and red seaweed spent biomass was observed to be 0.011 g g−1 and 0.02 ± 0.003 g g−1 respectively, when compared with YPD (0.42 ± 0.03 g g−1) and d-galactose (0.37 ± 0.04 g g−1) as standard on day 4. The present study revealed the possibility of effective utilization of spent biomass from seaweed industry for ethanol production.  相似文献

Three ligno-cellulosic substrates representing varying levels of biodegradability (giant reed, GR; fibre sorghum, FS; barley straw, BS) were combined with mild alkaline pre-treatments (NaOH 0.05, 0.10 and 0.15 N at 25 °C for 24 h) plus untreated controls, to study pre-treatment effects on physical-chemical structure, anaerobic digestibility and methane output of the three substrates. In a batch anaerobic digestion (AD) assay (58 days; 35 °C; 4 g VS l−1), the most recalcitrant substrate (GR) staged the highest increase in cumulative methane yield: +30% with NaOH 0.15 N over 190 ml CH4 g−1 VS in untreated GR. Conversely, the least recalcitrant substrate (FS) exhibited the lowest gain (+10% over 248 ml CH4 g−1 VS), while an intermediate behaviour was shown by BS (+15% over 232 ml CH4 g−1 VS). Pre-treatments speeded AD kinetics and reduced technical digestion time (i.e., the time needed to achieve 80% methane potential), which are the premises for increased production capacity of full scale AD plants. Fibre components (cellulose, hemicellulose and acid insoluble lignin determined after acid hydrolysis) and substrate structure (Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy) outlined reductions of the three fibre components after pre-treatments, supporting claims of loosened binding of lignin with cellulose and hemicellulose. Hence, mild alkaline pre-treatments were shown to improve the biodegradability of ligno-cellulosic substrates to an extent proportional to their recalcitrance. In turn, this contributes to mitigate the food vs. fuel controversy raised by the use of whole plant cereals (namely, maize) as feedstocks for biogas production.  相似文献

Pulp and paper industry primary sludge being largely composed of lignocellulosic fibres, it could be used as carbon source by bacteria having cellulolytic capability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of cellulose contained in this type of sludge for Clostridium thermocellum to produce ethanol, hydrogen and cellulases. In an ATCC 1191 medium containing 5 kg m−3 dry primary sludge from recycled paper mill, batch culture reached stationary phase after 2 days. All of the available cellulose was hydrolysed after 60 h of incubation, with a final pH of 5.83. Metabolites produced after 60 h of fermentation were acetate (8.50 mol m−3), ethanol (11.30 mol m−3), lactate (8.75 mol m−3), formate (0.27 mol m−3), hydrogen (11.20 mol m−3) and carbon dioxide (18.41 mol m−3). Cellulase activity was detected in the supernatant after 36 h, with a maximal activity of 0.25 U cm−3 at 72 h. Pulp and paper primary sludge appeared to be a readily usable substrate for C. thermocellum at this concentration, yielding both potential biofuels (hydrogen and ethanol) as well as active cellulases.  相似文献

Napiergrass (Pennisetum purpureum Schum.) is a promising low cost raw material which does not compete with food prices, has attractive yields and an environmentally friendly farming. Dilute sulfuric acid pretreatment of napiergrass was effective to obtain high yields of sugars and low level of degradation by-products from hemicellulose. Detoxification with Ca(OH)2 removed inhibitors but showed sugars loss. An ethanol concentration of 21 g/L after 176 h was found from the hydrolyzate using Pichia stipitis NBRC 10063 (fermentation efficiency 66%). An additional alkaline pretreatment applied to the solid fraction remaining from the diluted acid pretreatment improved the lignin removal. The highest cellulose hydrolysis values were found with the addition of β-glucosidase and PEG 6000. The simultaneous hydrolysis and fermentation of the cellulosic fraction with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, 10% (w/v) solid concentration, β-glucosidase and PEG 6000, showed the highest ethanol concentration (24 g/L), and cellulose hydrolysis values (81%). 162 L ethanol/t of dry napiergrass were produced (overall efficiency of 52%): 128 L/t from the cellulosic fraction and 34 L/t from the hemicellulosic fraction.  相似文献

Feedstock quality mainly depends upon the biomass composition and bioenergy conversion system being used. Higher cellulose and hemicellulose concentrations are desirable for biochemical conversion, whereas higher lignin is favored for thermochemical conversion. The efficiency of these conversion systems is influenced by the presence of high nitrogen and ash concentrations. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) varieties are classified into two ecotypes based on their habitat preferences, i.e., upland and lowland. The objectives of this study were to quantify the chemical composition of switchgrass varieties as influenced by harvest management, and to determine if ecotypic differences exist among them. A field study was conducted near Ames, IA during 2012 and 2013. Upland (‘Cave-in-Rock’, ‘Trailblazer’ and ‘Blackwell’) and lowland switchgrass varieties (‘Kanlow’ and ‘Alamo’) were grown in a randomized block design with six replications. Six biomass harvests were collected at approximately 2-week intervals each year. In both years, delaying harvest increased cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin concentrations while decreasing nitrogen and ash concentrations in all varieties. On average, Kanlow had the highest cellulose and hemicellulose concentration (354 and 321 g kg−1 DM respectively), and Cave-in-Rock had the highest lignin concentration (33 g kg−1 DM). The lowest nitrogen and ash concentrations were observed in Kanlow (14 and 95 g kg−1 DM respectively). In general, our results indicate that delaying harvest until fall improves feedstock quality, and ecotypic differences do exist between varieties for important feedstock quality traits. These findings also demonstrate potential for developing improved switchgrass cultivars as bioenergy feedstock by intermating lowland and upland ecotypes.  相似文献

Napiergrass (Cenchrus purpureus (Schumach.) Morrone) and energycane (Saccharum hyb.) are perennial grasses that are well-suited for biomass production in the southeastern USA. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of delayed winter harvest on biomass yield and quality of these grasses. The study was conducted on two adjacent sites near Midville, GA. Each site used a split-plot design with four replications, with species as the main plot, and harvest times (December, January, or February) as sub-plots. Dry matter (DM) yields were measured by mechanical harvesting, and a sample of biomass was taken from each harvest for determination of ethanol production by simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF). Biomass moisture, N, P, K, and ash mass fractions were also measured. Energycane DM yields were stable from December (46.8 Mg ha−1) to January (42.9 Mg ha−1), but then declined (36.8 Mg ha−1), while napiergrass yields declined sharply from December (47.0 Mg ha−1) to January (35.0 Mg ha−1). Napiergrass moisture mass fraction was reduced by an average of 18% in February harvests compared to December. Mass fractions of N, K, and ash tended to decrease with later harvesting, but sometimes increased due to changes in biomass composition. Delaying harvest of napiergrass from December to January reduced N removal by an average of 144 kg ha−1, while delaying harvest of energycane to February reduced N removal by an average of 54 kg ha−1. In SSF, later-harvested energycane produced less ethanol per unit of DM while napiergrass was less affected by harvest date.  相似文献

Literature values for glucose release from corn stover are highly variable which would likely result in tremendous variability in bio-refinery ethanol yield from corn stover feedstock. A relatively recent change in United States corn genetics is the inclusion of the Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) trait, which now accounts for three-fourths of all US planted corn acreage. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of corn grain yield, inclusion of the Bt trait, and location environment on corn stover quality for subsequent ethanol conversion. Two hybrid pairs (each having a Bt and non-Bt near-isoline) were analyzed giving a total of 4 hybrids. In 2010 and 2011, field plots were located in Michigan at four latitudinal differing locations in four replicated plots at each location. Stover composition and enzymatic digestibility was analyzed and estimated ethanol yield (g g−1) was calculated based on hydrolyzable glucan and xylan levels. Analysis showed that there were no significant differences in total glucose or xylose levels nor in enzymatically hydrolyzable glucan and xylan concentrations between Bt corn stover and the non-Bt stover isolines. Regression analyses between corn grain yield (Mg ha−1) and corn stover ethanol yield (g g−1) showed an inverse relationship indicative of a photosynthate source-sink relationship. Nevertheless, the quantity of stover produced was found to be more critical than the quality of stover produced in maximizing potential stover ethanol yield on a land area basis.  相似文献

Grass from urban roadside verges is a potential, though widely unused, resource for bioenergy recovery. Two possible bioenergy recovery techniques were tested, i.e. i) direct anaerobic digestion of the whole parent material and ii) the “integrated generation of solid fuel and biogas from biomass” (IFBB) procedure, which divides biomass into a press fluid and a press cake by mashing and mechanical dewatering. Biomass yield, chemical composition and canopy height of biomass, contribution of functional groups, fermentation characteristics of silage and press fluids, as well as characteristics of the produced solid fuel was investigated, applying a 4-cut management for anaerobic digestion, a 2-cut management for IFBB and an 8 times mulching as a reference. Mean annual biomass yield (2013 and 2014) was 3.24, 3.33 and 5.68 t dry matter ha−1 for the mulching, 4-cut management and 2-cut management, respectively. Yields were higher in 2014 due to more favourable weather conditions. Fibre concentration was higher in material of the 2-cut management than in the 4-cut management, however, methane yield of the corresponding silages was the same. Highest methane yield was gained from press fluids with 292 lN kg−1 volatile solids. The press cake had a lower heating value of 16 MJ kg−1 dry matter and a K2O/CaO index of 0.51–0.88. Gross energy output was 26.4 GJ ha−1 for anaerobic digestion and 84.4 GJ ha−1 for IFBB. Thus, an altered roadside verge management with reduced cutting frequency might allow a significant energy recovery and improved ecosystem services, i.e. increased biodiversity.  相似文献

Pretreatments are crucial to achieve efficient conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to soluble sugars. In this light, switchgrass was subjected to 13 pretreatments including steam explosion alone (195 °C for 5, 10 and 15 min) and after impregnation with the following catalysts: Ca(OH)2 at low (0.4%) and high (0.7%) concentration; Ca(OH)2 at high concentration and higher temperature (205 °C for 5, 10 and 15 min); H2SO4 (0.2% at 195 °C for 10 min) as reference acid catalyst before steam explosion. Enzymatic hydrolysis was carried out to assess pretreatment efficiency in both solid and liquid fraction. Thereafter, in selected pretreatments the solid fraction was subjected to simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF), while the liquid fraction underwent anaerobic digestion (AD). Lignin removal was lowest (12%) and highest (35%) with steam alone and 0.7% lime, respectively. In general, higher cellulose degradation and lower hemicellulose hydrolysis were observed in this study compared to others, depending on lower biomass hydration during steam explosion. Mild lime addition (0.4% at 195 °C) enhanced ethanol in SSF (+28% than steam alone), while H2SO4 boosted methane in AD (+110%). However, methane represented a lesser component in combined energy yield (ethanol, methane and energy content of residual solid). Mild lime addition was also shown less aggressive and secured more residual solid after SSF, resulting in higher energy yield per unit raw biomass. Decreased water consumption, avoidance of toxic compounds in downstream effluents, and post process recovery of Ca(OH)2 as CaCO3 represent further advantages of pretreatments involving mild lime addition before steam explosion.  相似文献

The sickle bush (Dichrostachys cinerea (L.) Wight & Arn.) comprises a woody legume shrub which is widely distributed throughout of the tropical areas of Africa, Asia and Oceania, being found as well in Cuba where it represents a difficult to control invasive plant. It holds great silvopasture and energy crop potentials. In southwestern Spain a two year field trial was conducted contemplating also another six hardwood taxa commonly used as energy crops. The sickle bush above ground dry biomass fraction was 60.4%; sickle bush displayed a high transpiration rate during hot days (3.02 kg m−2 d−1 to 6.82 kg m−2 d−1); cold winter temperatures (<−2 °C) together with hot and dry summer air (<20% relative humidity) committed survival and growth. The physical-chemical wood properties and the pellets thereof derived were analyzed and compared to those of the other energy crop taxa. The within other woody species normal chemical composition range coupled to a high wood density and energetic use properties (19.2 MJ kg−1 higher heating value, 29 g kg−1 ash content) all allow for an industrial use. Pellets evidenced also good physical and mechanical properties (690 kg m−3 bulk density, 42 g kg−1 moisture content). However, the mechanical durability (93.9%) was slightly less than that required by the non-industrial use standards, therefore further improvements should be studied. All of the above could encourage scrubland cuts in Cuba as a mechanical control method, in addition to the expansion of plantations within of their tropical climate based natural habitats.  相似文献

Corn (Zea mays L.) cobs are being evaluated as a potential bioenergy feedstock for combined heat and power generation (CHP) and conversion into a biofuel. The objective of this study was to determine corn cob availability in north central United States (Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota) using existing corn grain ethanol plants as a proxy for possible future co-located cellulosic ethanol plants. Cob production estimates averaged 6.04 Tg and 8.87 Tg using a 40 km radius area and 80 km radius area, respectively, from existing corn grain ethanol plants. The use of CHP from cobs reduces overall GHG emissions by 60%–65% from existing dry mill ethanol plants. An integrated biorefinery further reduces corn grain ethanol GHG emissions with estimated ranges from 13.9 g CO2 equiv MJ−1 to 17.4 g CO2 equiv MJ−1. Significant radius area overlap (53% overlap for 40 km radius and 86% overlap for 80 km radius) exists for cob availability between current corn grain ethanol plants in this region suggesting possible cob supply constraints for a mature biofuel industry. A multi-feedstock approach will likely be required to meet multiple end user renewable energy requirements for the north central United States. Economic and feedstock logistics models need to account for possible supply constraints under a mature biofuel industry.  相似文献

This study is focused on identifying the candidature of timothy grass as an energy crop for hydrogen-rich syngas production through supercritical water gasification. Timothy grass was gasified in supercritical water to investigate the impacts of temperature (450–650 °C), biomass-to-water ratio (1:4 and 1:8) and reaction time (15–45 min) in the pressure range of 23–25 MPa. The impacts of carbonate catalysts (e.g., Na2CO3 and K2CO3) and hydroxide catalysts (e.g., NaOH and KOH) at variable mass fractions (1–3%) were examined to maximize hydrogen yields. In the non-catalytic gasification of timothy grass, highest hydrogen (5.15 mol kg−1) and total gas yields (17.2 mol kg−1) with greater carbon gasification efficiency (33%) and lower heating value (2.21 MJ m−3) of the gas products were obtained at 650 °C with 1:8 biomass-to-water ratio for 45 min. However, KOH at 3% mass fraction maximized hydrogen and total gas yields up to 8.91 and 30.6 mol kg−1, respectively. Nevertheless, NaOH demonstrated highest carbon gasification efficiency (61.3%) and enhanced lower heating value of the gas products (4.68 MJ m−3). Timothy grass biochars were characterized through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy to understand the behavior of the feedstock to rising temperature and reaction time. The overall findings suggest that timothy grass is a promising feedstock for hydrogen production via supercritical water gasification.  相似文献

Our previous research has shown that duckweed is potentially an ideal feedstock for the production of biofuels because it can be effectively saccharified enzymatically. Here we report the results of experiments in which duckweed was pre-treated by steam explosion prior to enzyme digestion. A range of temperatures, from 130 to 230 °C with a fixed retention time of 10 min, were employed. The best pretreatment conditions were 210 °C for 10 min; these conditions produced the highest amount of water-soluble material (70%), the greatest levels of starch solubilisation (21%) and hemicellulose and pectic polysaccharides degradation (60%). The use of these steam explosion conditions enabled large reductions in the concentrations of enzymes required for effective saccharification. The amount of Celluclast required was reduced from 100 U (4.35 FPU) g−1 substrate to 20 U g−1 substrate, and additional beta-glucosidase was reduced from 100 to 2 U g−1 substrate.  相似文献

Research is focused on the utilisation of waste or residue biomass for bioenergy conversion. A promising conversion technology for the production of liquid biofuels from residue biomass is a process called Thermo-Catalytic Reforming (TCR®​) which is a combination of prior thermal treatment of the biomass at mild temperatures (intermediate pyrolysis) followed by a second catalytic treatment step at elevated temperatures (reforming). This article focuses on the conversion of TCR® liquids from digestate as a feedstock for subsequent hydrocarbon production. The generated bio-oil showed a lower heating value of 34.0 MJ kg1 with an oxygen content of 7.0% and a water content of 2.2%. The bio-oil was hydrodeoxygenated using an industrial NiMo–Al2O3 catalyst at temperatures of 503 K–643 K and a pressure of 14 MPa. The hydrodeoxygenated bio-oil reached a lower heating value of 42.3 MJ kg−1 with an oxygen content below 0.8 mg kg−1 and water content of 30 ppm. Product yields and catalyst life give confidence that upgrading of the TCR®​ bio-oil offers a suitable option to meet the high standards of common fuels.  相似文献

This paper reviews developments in the direct-fired biomass power sector and provides an up to date investment outlook by calculating the Net Present Value of new investments, and the appropriate level of Feed-in-Tariff needed to stimulate future investment. An overview is provided of support policies, historical growth in installations, and main market players. A number of data sources is combined to build a database with detailed information of individual biopower projects. This data is used to describe technological and market trends, which are used in a cash flow model to calculate the NPV of a typical project. The NPV for new projects is estimated to be negative, and investment should be expected to stall without proper policy intervention. Increasing fuel prices, local competition over biomass fuel resources, lower than expected operational performance and a downturn in carbon markets have deteriorated the investment outlook. In order to ensure reasonable profitability, the Feed-In-Tariff should be increased, from the current level of 90.9 € MWh−1, to between 97 and 105 € MWh−1. Where possible, government organizations should help organize demand for the supply of heat. Local rural energy bureaus may help organize supply networks for biomass fuels throughout the country, in order to reduce seasonal and local fuel scarcity and price fluctuations.  相似文献

Macroalgae have not met their full potential to date as biomass for the production of energy. One reason is the high cost associated with the pretreatment which breaks the biomass's crystalline structure and better exposes the fermentable sugars to anaerobes. In the attempt to overcome this technological barrier, the performance of a Hollander beater mechanical pretreatment is assessed in this paper. This pretreatment has been applied to a batch of Laminariaceae biomass and inoculated with sludge from a wastewater treatment plant. The derived biogas and methane yields were used as the responses of a complex system in order to identify the optimal system input variables by using the response surface methodology (RSM). The system's inputs considered are the mechanical pretreatment time (5–15 min range), the machine's chopping gap (76–836 μm) and the mesophilic to thermophilic range of temperatures (30–50 °C). The mechanical pretreatment was carried out with the purpose of enhancing the biodegradability of the macroalgal feedstock by increasing the specific surface area available during the anaerobic co-digestion. The pretreatment effects on the two considered responses are estimated, discussed and optimized using the tools provided by the statistical software Design-Expert v.8. The best biogas yield of treated macroalgae was found at 50 °C after 10 min of treatment, providing 52% extra biogas and 53% extra methane yield when compared to untreated samples at the same temperature conditions. The highest biogas rate achieved by treating the biomass was 685 cc gTS1, which is 430 cc gTS1 in terms of CH4 yield.  相似文献

Simultaneous saccharification and acetone–ethanol–butanol (ABE) fermentation was conducted in order to reduce the number of steps involved in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into butanol. Enzymatic saccharification of pretreated oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) by cellulase produced 31.58 g/l of fermentable sugar. This saccharification was conducted at conditions similar to the conditions required for ABE fermentation. The simultaneous process by Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 produced 4.45 g/l of ABE with butanol concentration of 2.75 g/l. The butanol yield of 0.11 g/g and ABE yield of 0.18 g/g were obtained from this simultaneous process as compared to the two-step process (0.10 g/g of butanol yield and 0.14 g/g of ABE yield). In addition, the simultaneous process also produced higher cumulative hydrogen (282.42 ml) than to the two-step process (222.02 ml) after 96 h of fermentation time. This study suggested that the simultaneous process has the potential to be implemented for the integrated production of butanol and hydrogen from lignocellulosic biomass.  相似文献
