Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to stably culture gas-utilizing microorganisms regardless of fluctuations in a supply flow rate of a substrate gas. The gas-utilizing microorganisms b are cultured in a liquid culture medium 9 that occupies a fermentative environment region 19 in a reaction tank 10. The gas-utilizing microorganisms b can be fermented in the fermentative environment region 19. A substrate gas is supplied to the fermentative environment region 19 from a gas supply member 22. A volume of the fermentative environment region 19 is controlled by a volume changing mechanism 30 according to the supply flow rate of the substrate gas.

Abstract: Gas-utilizing microorganisms are stably cultured regardless of variations in a supply flow rate of a substrate gas. Gas-utilizing microorganisms 9 are cultured in a culture solution 2 in a culture tank 10. A substrate gas containing CO and H2 or the like is supplied to the culture tank 10 and is dissolved in the culture solution 2. When a supply flow rate of the substrate gas or predetermined constituents of the substrate gas to the culture tank 10 becomes a predetermined value or lower, a culture solution 2a is rapidly discharged from the culture tank 10.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to convert CO2 to CO by bringing about a reverse shift reaction in a relatively low-temperature condition, and thereby enhancing efficiency of generating organic substances, such as ethanol. A raw material gas g1 containing CO2 and H2 is subjected to a reverse shift reaction in a reverse shift reactor 12. Organic substances are generated from a raw material gas g2 after the reverse shift reaction in an organic substance generator 13. In the subjecting step, the raw material gas g1 is brought into contact with a reverse shift reaction catalyst 20. The reverse shift reaction catalyst 20 includes a support 21 and a catalyst metal 22 supported by the support 21. The catalyst metal 22 includes a transition metal. The catalyst metal 22 is preferably composed of Fe with at least one kind of metal from among Al, Ga, In, Cu, Ag, Au, Pd and Mn added thereto.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and a method which can be used for producing an organic substance effectively from a synthesis gas obtained from a waste incinerator. The apparatus 1 for producing an organic substance from waste, comprises a synthesis gas generation furnace 11, a fermenter 13, and a nutrient feeder. The synthesis gas generation furnace 11 generates a synthesis gas by partial oxidation of waste. The fermenter 13 contains a microorganism which produces an organic substance from the synthesis gas. The nutrient feeder 12 feeds a solid or liquid nutrient to the fermenter 13 when an amount of the synthesis gas supplied to the fermenter 13 is insufficient.
