In-situ membrane electrolysis enables high-rate production and electrochemical pH control in microbial electrosynthesis of acetic acid from carbon dioxide Universiteit Gent
Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) has emerged as a new bioreactor technology for the production of organics from CO2 and renewable current. In a previous report we presented a novel reactor configuration that can uniquely couple the production and recovery of acetic acid from CO2 through the integration of in situ membrane electrolysis; extraction of the produced acetate over an anion exchange membrane (AEM). This three-chambered reactor design ...
