METHOD FOR UPGRADING THE FERMENTATION PROCESS WITH CU+ IMMOBILIZED CHARCOAL

Abstract

ABSTRACT A method (100) for upgrading the fermentation process with Cu+ immobilized charcoal, comprising: preparing a charcoal substrate and immobilizing Cu+ ions onto the surface of the charcoal particles; introducing the Cu+ immobilized charcoal into a fermentation medium; controlling the release of Cu+ ions into the fermentation system to optimize microbial activity; maintaining the fermentation process conditions to promote high product yield and low contaminant levels. <>
