“…Several studies investigated the application of SPME for direct sampling of gaseous streams from thermochemical conversions, showing the potential of this technique for the on-line monitoring of plant operations [19][20][21][22][23]. This could be quite useful in the case of a distributed biomass/waste conversion schemes based on small scale intermediate pyrolysis where continuous quality control checks are necessary to ensure consistent final product.…”

At-line sampling by solid phase microextraction (SPME) followed by GC-MS analysis was investigated as a fast analytical method to identify and quantify the compounds evolved during intermediate pyrolysis of biomass. A 75 μm carboxen/polidimethylsiloxane (CAR/PDMS) coated fiber in retracted configuration was inserted at-line during pyrolysis at 500 °C with a bench scale fixed bed pyrolyzer of different biomass substrates, lignocellulosic feedstock, agricultural wastes, animal residues and algal biomass. The molecular composition resulting from SPME sampling was compared to the chemical composition of collected pyrolysis liquid, which included the aqueous and organic phase (bio-oil). The storage capacity of the SPME fiber was tested 48 and 96 h after sampling under air atmosphere and vacuum-packed plastic bags. The SPME-GC-MS profiles could be utilized to gather information on the characteristics of pyrolysis process, such as the efficiency of vapor condensation

“…Gasification is the high temperature (750-8508C) conversion of solid, carbonaceous fuels into flammable gases such as of CO and H 2 collectively known as producer gas, synthesis gas, or syngas (Guehenneux et al, 2005;McKendry, 2002b,c). If chemical equilibrium is attained during gasification processes, the products are essentially limited to the light gases CO, CO 2 , H 2 , and CH 4 (and nitrogen if air was used as a source of oxygen).…”

To examine the potential use of synthesis gas as a carbon and energy source in fermentation processes, Rhodospirillum rubrum was cultured on synthesis gas generated from discarded seed corn. The growth rates, growth and poly-beta-hydroxyalkanoates (PHA) yields, and CO oxidation/H(2) evolution rates were evaluated in comparison to the rates observed with an artificial synthesis gas mixture. Depending on the gas conditioning system used, synthesis gas either stimulated or inhibited CO-oxidation rates compared to the observations with the artificial synthesis gas mixture. Inhibitory and stimulatory compounds in synthesis gas could be removed by the addition of activated charcoal, char-tar, or char-ash filters (char, tar, and ash are gasification residues). In batch fermentations, approximately 1.4 mol CO was oxidized per day per g cell protein with the production of 0.75 mol H(2) and 340 mg PHA per day per g cell protein. The PHA produced from R. rubrum grown on synthesis gas was composed of 86% beta-hydroxybutyrate and 14% beta-hydroxyvalerate. Mass transfer of CO into the liquid phase was determined as the rate-limiting step in the fermentation.
