Continuous fermentation of cellulosic biomass to ethanol

Experimental results are presented for continuous conversion of pretreated hardwood flour to ethanol. A simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) system comprised ofTrichoderma reesei cellulase supplemented with additional β-glucosidase and fermentation bySaccharomyces cerevisiae was used for most experiments, with data also presented for a direct microbial conversion (DMC) system comprised ofClostridium thermocellum. Using a batch SSF system, dilute acid pretreatment of mixed hardwood at short residence time(10 s, 220°C, 1% H₂SO₄) was compared to poplar wood pretreated at longer residence time (20 min, 160°C, 0.45% H₂SO₄). The short residence time pretreatment resulted in a somewhat (10–20%) more reactive substrate, with the reactivity difference particularly notable at low enzyme loadings and/or low agitation. Based on a preliminary screening, inhibition of SSF by byproducts of short residence time pretreatment was measurable, but minor. Both SSF and DMC were carried out successfully in well-mixed continuous systems, with steady-state data obtained at residence times of 0.58–3 d for SSF as well as 0.5 and 0.75 d for DMC. The SSF system achieved substrate conversions varying from 31% at a 0.58-d residence time to 86% at a 2-d residence time. At comparable substrate concentrations (4–5 g/l) and residence times (0.5–0.58 d), substrate conversion in the DMC system (77%) was significantly higher than that in the SSF system (31%). Our results suggest that the substrate conversion in SSF carried out in CSTR is relatively insensitive to enzyme loading in the range 7–25 U/g cellulose and to substrate concentration in the range of 5–60 g/L cellulose in the feed.

Capacity Titration Technique for Determining the Solid Diffusion Coefficient of Intercalary Species within Insertion-host Materials

Investigation on the solid diffusion process of intercalary species within insertion-host materials plays an important role in the energy storage and output of secondary batteries1. To determine the solid diffusion coefficient, several electrochemical techniques have been developed such as galvanostatic intermittent titration (GITT)2,3, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS)4,5, potential intermittent titration technique (PITT)6, and potential step chronoamperometry (PSCA)7, potenti…     

PREPARATION OF CUOγ-Al_2O_3 CATALYSTS FOR CATALYTIC COMBUSTION VOCS VIA PLASMA

1. INTRODUCTION Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are emitted from many industrial processes and transportation activities, were considered as an important class of air pollutants, either directly, through their toxic or malodorous nature, or indirectly, as ozone precursors [1,2]. Catalytic combustion is one of the most promising technologies for the destruction of VOCs due to its definitive character and save of energy. In oxidizing a variety of VOCs to CO2 and water vapour, t…

DESORPTION OF VOCs FROM POLYMERIC ADSORBENTS UNDER MICROWAVE FIELD

1. INTRODUCTION Nowdays the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have become important pollutants to air [1]. The source of these wastes is very wide. The leakage of the VOCs from chemical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, printing processes, paint and adhesive manufacturing and applications, composites and fiberglass molding etc. is the source of the pollutants. A number of adsorbents are capable of capturing a wide range of VOCs. However, the conventional process of regenerating …

NORMALITY CRITERIA FOR FAMILIES OF MEROMORPHIC ALGEBROID FUNCTIONS

By using the definition of Hausdorff distance, we prove some normality criteria for families of meromorphic algebroid functions. Some examples are given to complement the theory in this article.     

ON THE OPERATIONS OF ALGEBROID FUNCTIONS

In this article, we first investigate the operational properties of algebroid functions. Then we prove two uniqueness theorems for algebroid functions.
