Abstract

A microbiological process for conversion of CO2 into one or more bio-products, the process comprising the steps of: i. contacting raw carbon dioxide and sulfur-containing feedstocks in one or more gas contactor or absorption columns with an absorption or dissolution medium to form a reagent stream comprising dissolved or absorbed inorganic carbon and sulfur; ii. contacting at least a portion of the reagent stream with a microbial broth in a bioreactor to oxidize sulfur and produce one or more bio-products from the carbon dioxide; iii. separating into one or more bio-products and a liquid stream; and iv. recycling at least a portion of the liquid stream to step i. of the process for use as the absorption or dissolution medium, wherein the pH of the absorption or dissolution medium is controlled to facilitate its capacity to absorb or dissolve carbon dioxide and to contribute to reaction conditions in the bioreactor.
