Abstract
The ability of oxygen vector to extract produced carbon dioxide has been tested in an anaerobic fermentation. During the continuous culture of Clostridium acetobutylicum at pH 4.6 and at a dilution rate of 0.124 h−1, a feed composed of an emulsion of 18.5% by volume of Forane F66E was able to extract about 9% of the total CO2 produced under CO2 partial pressure equal to 0.42 atm. A theoretical evaluation of the extracted amount, based on the hypothesis of total saturation of the vector by carbon dioxide, has lead to very good agreement.
