Abstract
The major products of anaerobic fermentations ae acetic, propionic, butyric, and Lactic acids, ethanol, carbon dioxide and methane. The pathway by which these products are formed by different bacteria are described, and ways in which the proportions of each product can be varied are suggested. The stoichiomatry of these reaction patways and their energy balance are given. Current reaserach to produce the volatile fatty acids (VFA) for industrial use is reviewed, and details are given of the CSIRO Ketone Fuel Process. The steps in the process are pretreatment of lignocellulosic waste, fermentation to VFA, separation of the VFA, and conversion to ketone fuels. The advantages of such processes for farm-scale and decentralised systems are dicussed.
