Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a process for sequestering carbon dioxide to produce a biomass containing reaction product, the process comprising the steps of: contacting a raw carbon dioxide-containing feedstock with an absorption or dissolution medium to form a reagent stream comprising dissolved or absorbed inorganic carbon; contacting at least a portion of the reagent stream with a microbial broth in a bioreactor to produce a biomass-containing reaction product; separating the biomass-containing reaction product into a biomass product and a liquid stream; and recycling at least a portion of the liquid stream to the absorption or dissolution medium, wherein the pH of the absorption or dissolution medium is controlled. The feedstock may be flue gas. Also described are apparatus for carrying out the process.
