The invention relates to a
fermentation method for producing n-butyl
alcohol by utilizing synthesis gas
fermentation, which is characterized in that the n-butyl
alcohol is produced by utilizing synthesis gas
fermentation based on a Moorella thermoacetica strain, and in the fermentation process, the pH is controlled to be 5.5-7.0, and the oxidation-
reduction potential is controlled to be-250mV to-200mV. Therefore, the fermentation yield of the n-butyl
alcohol can be greatly improved, and the yield of the n-butyl alcohol in the fermentation liquid is 30 g / L or above. Moreover, the traditional process for producing n-butyl alcohol through synthesis gas fermentation has many limitations, such as low efficiency, high cost, many byproducts, poor product selectivity and the like. The problems limit the application of the synthesis gas fermentation technology in the production of biofuels and chemicals. In the application, an improved synthesis gas fermentation method is provided, and the yield and selectivity of n-butyl alcohol are remarkably improved by accurately controlling the pH and
Redox (
redox potential) conditions in the fermentation process.
