    Abstract: Methods and systems for producing a particular biofuel or a particular chemical using genetically modified iron-oxidizing bacteria (IOB) and copper as a redox mediator are disclosed. In some embodiments, the methods include the following: providing an IOB that have been genetically modified to enable them to generate the particular biofuel or the particular chemical; feeding a first source of ferrous iron to the IOB; feeding water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen to the IOB; producing one of the particular biofuel and the particular chemical, ferric iron, and an IOB biomass; providing a first source of copper metal; solubilizing the first source of copper metal to produce cupric ions and reduce the ferric iron to ferrous iron; electrochemically reducing the cupric ions to produce a second source of copper metal; feeding ferrous iron reduced from the ferric iron to the IOB; and feeding the second source of copper metal to the IOB.

    Abstract: There is provided an apparatus (1) and methods for processing biomass to produce charcoal, bio-oil(s) activated carbon, recarburizer carbon, or nut coke by means of microwave energy. The apparatus has a rotatable tube (5) for receiving biomass (108), an electromagnetic generator (7). One method provides applying electromagnetic energy to the biomass (108) and an absorbing material (109). An alternative method provides allowing an indirect, black body radiation field to develop, and exposing the biomass (108) to the black body radiation field and the electromagnetic energy. Another method provides allowing plasma to form and exposing the biomass to the plasma and the electromagnetic energy. Another method provides introducing the biomass to a second container (205), introducing the second container to a first reaction container (5), applying electromagnetic energy to the biomass and an absorbing material (109), allowing a plasma to form in the first container, which heats the biomass in the second container.
