摘要 |
A method and apparatus for fermentation of ethanol. A method comprises selecting a desired fermentation on process with oscillatory process characteristics, providing a fermentor and a biocatalyst, feeding a substrate to the fermentor, and fermenting under chaotic conditions. An apparatus comprises a fermentor, a process control system capable of operating the fermentor under chaotic conditions, and a membrane selective for ethanol. The invention can be applied to other catalytic processes.
