Abstract:

Syngas bio-fermentation to produce ethanol has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, high product selectivity, wide source of raw materials, and low-carbon sustainable development. It is a promising new production process for renewable energy. The species of microorganisms and corresponding suitable operating conditions for ethanol production via syngas fermentation are reviewed. The Wood-Ljungdahl pathway of syngas fermentation is analyzed and the extensive sources of syngas are summarized. The effects of the process parameters, such as the composition of syngas, pressure, pH, temperature, medium component and gas-liquid mass transfer on syngas fermentation, are analyzed and discussed. The key problems of poor mass transfer performance of gas substrate and low ethanol yield in the syngas fermentation process are pointed out. The different mass transfer performance of typical bioreactors is compared, and the approaches to enhancing mass transfer are reviewed. Finally, the industrialization progress of ethanol production by syngas fermentation is reviewed, and the future development direction is proposed.

Key words: syngas, fermentation, ethanol, bioreactor, mass transfer
