The Kinetics of Ethanol Fermentation Based on Adsorption Processes
Currently, the oil crisis and serious environmental problems related to fossil fuels have caused the world to turn more attention toward biofuels production, especially ethanol fermentation from biomass. An appropriate kinetic model of ethanol fermentation would be a powerful instrument for fermentation efficiency increase and process optimization. The well-known Monod equation has been widely ...
متن کاملfermentation: An economic evaluation for acetic acid
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
متن کاملEthanol fermentation and potential.
Ethyl alcohol is one of the United States and world's major chemicals. Beverage alcohol in the United States must be prepared from cereal grains or other natural products. The U.S. industrial alcohol market has remained relatively stable for several years at approximately 300 million gallons annually. Most of this has been produced synthetically from petroleum raw material (gas and oil). These ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Alternative Construction Processes Using Simulation
The comparison of alternative construction methods is one of the principal reasons for using simulation to model construction processes. The efficiency and effectiveness of such comparisons can be greatly improved by the prudent use of “matched pairs,” a variance reduction technique based on dedicated and fully synchronized random number streams. The basic methodology is illustrated by using th...
متن کاملEconomic Evaluation of the Production Ethanol from Cassava Roots
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prospective production of ethanol from cassava in Indonesia. The study was conducted in two parameters, engineering perspectives and economic evaluation that involves several economic parameters (e.g. gross profit margin, internal rate return, payback period, cumulative net present value, breakeven point, and profitability index on sales to investme...
