AbstractGas fermentation is one of the promising bioprocesses to convert CO2 or syngas to important chemicals. Thermophilic gas fermentation of volatile chemicals has the potential for the development of consolidated bioprocesses that can simultaneously separate products during fermentation. This study reports the production of acetone from CO2 and H2, CO, or syngas by introducing the acetone production pathway using acetyl–coenzyme A (Ac-CoA) and acetate produced via the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway in Moorella thermoacetica. Reducing the carbon flux from Ac-CoA to acetate through genetic engineering successfully enhanced acetone productivity, which varied on the basis of the gas composition. The highest acetone productivity was obtained with CO–H2, while autotrophic growth collapsed with CO2–H2. By adding H2 to CO, the acetone productivity from the same amount of carbon source increased compared to CO gas only, and the maximum specific acetone production rate also increased from 0.04 to 0.09 g-acetone/g-dry cell/h. Our development of the engineered thermophilic acetogen M. thermoacetica, which grows at a temperature higher than the boiling point of acetone (58 °C), would pave the way for developing a consolidated process with simplified and cost-effective recovery via condensation following gas fermentation.

Abstract. Effect of background gas composition on the measurement of CO2 levels was investigated by wavelength-scanned cavity ring-down spectrometry (WS-CRDS) employing a spectral line centered at the R(1) of the (3 0° 1)III ← (0 0 0) band. For this purpose, eight cylinders with various gas compositions were gravimetrically and manometrically prepared within 2σ = 0.1 %, and these gas mixtures were introduced into the WS-CRDS analyzer calibrated against standards of ambient air composition. Depending on the gas composition, deviations between CRDS-determined and gravimetrically (or manometrically) assigned CO2 concentrations ranged from −9.77 to 5.36 μmol/mol, e.g., excess N2 exhibited a negative deviation, whereas excess Ar showed a positive one. The total pressure broadening coefficients (TBPCs) obtained from the composition of N2, O2 and Ar thoroughly corrected the deviations up to −0.5–0.6 μmol/mol, while these values were −0.43–1.43 μmol/mol considering PBCs induced by only N2. The use of TBPCs enhanced deviations to be corrected to ~ 0.15 %. Furthermore, the above correction linearly shifted CRDS responses for a wide extent of TPBCs ranging from 0.065 to 0.081 cm−1 atm−1. Thus, accurate measurements using optical intensity-based techniques such as WS-CRDS require TBPC-based instrument calibration.

ABSTRACTWe have studied methods of improving glow-discharge-deposited a-Si1−x Gex :H alloys deposited using silane and germane gas mixtures. Material processing methods studied include (1) varying the substrate temperature from 170° to 280°C, (2) varying the process gas composition and pressure, (3) dilution of the feed gas by hydrogen, argon, or helium, (4) enhancing etching during deposition by adding small amounts of XeF2 vapor into the process gas, and (5) postdeposition annealing and/or hydrogenation.

Central chemoreceptor function was assessed in unanesthetized alligators, Alligator mississippiensis, at body temperatures of 15, 25 and 35 degrees C. Two experiments were performed. In the first experiment, the fourth ventricle was perfused with mock cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) solutions of different pH values (7.1-7.9). Changes in pulmonary ventilation were evaluated with a pneumotachograph and arterial pH (pHa) was measured. Perfusion with low-pH solutions increased ventilation and arterial pH. Perfusion with high-pH solutions decreased ventilation and arterial pH. Mock CSF pH had a greater effect at higher temperatures. In the second experiment, the relative contributions of central and peripheral chemoreceptor drive to breathing were evaluated using hypercapnic gas mixtures to stimulate both central and peripheral chemoreceptors. Hypercapnia caused an increase in ventilation which was larger at higher temperatures. To stimulate only the peripheral chemoreceptors, the same hypercapnic gas mixtures were applied while the CSF pH of the fourth ventricle was kept constant by perfusion with a mock CSF solution. This reduced significantly the ventilatory response induced by hypercapnia. These data indicate that, regardless of the temperature, central chemoreceptors play a major role in the ventilatory regulation of the alligator. The change in pHa with temperature is compatible with the alphastat hypothesis.

Oily scum was treated by hydrothermal dewatering (HTD) under 120-240°C. The changes of surface characteristics and physico-chemical structure of oily scum were investigated and the effect of temperature on the properties of the hydro-char obtained from oily scum was analyzed through different characterization techniques. Results show that the moisture content of HTD treated hydro-char decreases as the temperature increases, which implies that the oily scum can be dewatered and upgraded through HTD method. The morphologies of the HTD pretreated oily scum present less oil content, smaller particle size, and become darker. As the reactor temperature increases from 120 to 240°C during the HTD process, the moisture content of hydro-char obtained decreases from 35.51 to 11.31%, while the liquid content and hydro-char content increase from 58.53 to 79.76% and from 2.50 to 5.29%, respectively, and the released gas content slightly varies in the range of 3.14 - 4.31%. The breaking and gathering effects of the HTD upgrading on oily scum result in a wide particle size distribution of products, which indicates that the overall structure of raw oily scum has been destroyed. With the increase of HTD temperature, the shorten vibration of methylene groups in hydro-char products is weakened.
