Methods for the Biomethanation of H2 and CO2

摘要

The invention relates to means and methods for the biomethanation of H2 and CO2. In particular, the invention relates to devices for producing methane by means of methanogenic microorganisms by converting H2 and CO2, wherein the devices comprise at least one reactor, an aqueous medium, which is provided in the at least one reactor, wherein the methanogenic microorganisms are contained in the aqueous medium, a feeding apparatus, which is designed to introduce H2 and CO2 into the at least one reactor, wherein H2 and CO2 form a gaseous mixture therein, and a reaction-increasing device, which is designed to enlarge the contact surface between the aqueous medium having the methanogenic microorganisms and the gaseous mixture. The invention further relates to methods for producing methane in a reactor device by means of methanogenic microorganisms.

主权项

1. Device for the production of methane by means of methanogenic microorganisms through conversion of H2 and CO2, having:
at least one reactor; an aqueous medium, which is prepared in the at least one reactor, the methanogenic microorganisms being located in the aqueous medium; a feed mechanism, which is designed to channel H2 and CO2 into the at least one reactor, where the H2 and CO2 form a gaseous mixture inside it; a reaction boosting device, which is designed to increase the contact surface between the aqueous medium with the methanogenic microorganisms and the gaseous mixture.
