Abstract
Syn(thesis)gas is a mixture containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, in variable ratios. Syngas is commonly produced from fossil fuels, but it can be generated from a vast array of feedstocks such as lignocellulosic biomass and carbon-based wastes, including recalcitrant wastes. Production of biofuels and bulk chemicals from syngas, both by thermochemical or microbial processes, is a field of promising technological developments. In this work, thermophilic (55ºC) enrichment series were promoted using syngas (60% CO, 30% H2 and 10% CO2, enrichment series T-SYN) and carbon monoxi ...
