Ethanol production in a fluidized-bed bioreactor utilizing flocculating Zymomonas mobilis with biomass recycle
Conference

OSTI ID:5761421
Bench-scale, fluidized-bed bioreactor systems are being used to convert glucose to ethanol by particles of a flocculating strain of Zymomonas mobilis; ethanol production rates in excess of 600 g/L.h have been achieved. The systems have been operated successfully for extended periods (500 h) while using unsterilized feed with glucose concentrations in the range 100 to 160 g/L. The primary bioreactor was also operated in the absence of necessary nutrients but coupled to a small secondary reactor in which the biomass particles were recycled and exposed to small amounts of the nutrients.
