Switchgrass biomass to ethanol production economics: Field to fuel approach
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Switchgrass has been proposed as a dedicated energy crop. The first essay determines switchgrass yield response to nitrogen fertilizer for a single annual harvest in July and for a single annual ...
Process engineering and scale-up of autotrophic Clostridium strain P11 syngas fermentation
(2010-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Biomass gasification followed by fermentation of syngas to ethanol is a potential process to produce bioenergy. The process is currently being researched under laboratory- and pilot-scale in an ...
Process Design and Economic Evaluation of an Ethanol Production Process by Biomass Gasification
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-12-01)
A large number of studies are being conducted on finding eco-friendly substitutes for petroleum-based fuels. Utilizing biomass as an energy source can significantly reduce dependency on petroleum, and the emission of ...
Effect of the Reducing Agent Dithiothreitol on Ethanol and Acetic Acid Production by Clostridium Strain P11
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-05-01)
The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of the reducing agent dithiothreitol (DTT) on enhancing ethanol production from synthesis gas (syngas) using Clostridium strain P11 in 250-mL serum bottles. ...
Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation of Switchgrass by Thermotolerant Kluyveromyces marxianus Imb3: Effect of Enzyme Loading, Temperature and Operating Mode
(Oklahoma State University, 2011-05-01)
The objectives of this research were to determine the optimum enzyme (Accellerase 1500, Genencor International, NY, USA) loading, temperature and operating modes (batch and fed-batch) on ethanol production by simultaneous ...
Ethanol Production from Syngas by Clostridium Strain P11 Using Corn Steep Liquor as a Nutrient Replacement
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-05-01)
The objective of this research is to evaluate corn steep liquor (CSL) as an inexpensive nutrient and substitute to yeast extract (YE) used in the conversion of synthesis gas (syngas) to ethanol. Syngas is primarily a mixture ...
