Estimating the term…
The present invention relates to a method of producing acetone from a gas composition by microbial fermentation, the method comprising: contacting directly at least one genetically modified homoacetogenic bacterium with the gas composition, the gas composition comprising at least CO, CO2, H2 and CH4; wherein the gas composition is an off-gas from at least one steam methane reformer and the off gas from the steam methane reformer is directly brought into contact with the genetically modified homoacetogenic bacterium; and the homoacetogenic bacterium is genetically modified to produce acetone from the gas composition.
A method of producing acetone from a gas composition by microbial fermentation, the method comprising:
An apparatus for producing acetone from a gaseous composition by microbial fermentation, the apparatus comprises:
Use of an off gas from a steam methane reformer for production of acetone, wherein the off gas comprises at least CO, CO2, H2 and CH4 and the off gas is directly brought into contact with at least one genetically modified homoacetogenic bacteria, wherein the homoacetogenic bacterium is genetically modified to produce acetone from the gas composition.
