Abstract

Ethanol-tolerant and thermo-tolerant yeast strain Saccharomyces cerevisiae C11-3 cells immobilized in calcium pectate and calcium alginate gels were used for ethanol fermentation in a three-reactor system with a gradient temperature control. The fermentation process has been tested in a fixed-bed and a gas-lift arrangement. The gas-lift system was more efficient due to a better mass transport between the phases. Abrasion was more evident in calcium alginate particles, while calcium pectate beads were not significantly damaged. Two different concentrations of alginate were tested and calcium pectate gel was demonstrated to be more suitable as an immobilization material in comparison with calcium alginate due to its mechanical resistance and favourable diffusion parameters, providing an ethanol production of more than 7.5 g dm−3 h−1 over a period of 630 h.
