Review of Dissolved CO and H<sub>2</sub> Measurement Methods for Syngas Fermentation

Syngas fermentation is a promising technique to produce biofuels using syngas obtained through gasified biomass and other carbonaceous materials or collected from industrial CO-rich off-gases. The primary components of syngas, carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H<sub>2</sub>), are conver...
