BIO-ASSISTED PROCESS FOR CONVERSION OF MIXED VOLATILE FATTY ACIDS TO SELECTIVE DROP-IN FUELS

摘要

The present invention relates to a two-stage process for production of drop-in fuels/alcohols (methanol, ethanol or butanol) from volatile fatty acids produced either synthetically from fossil resources or as metabolic intermediates in acidification step of anaerobic digestion process from waste biomass and organic materials.
