Abstract

Abstract

The utilization of waste resources can help solve many problems including environmental pollution and resource shortage. Due to the wide application and high added value of medium chain carboxylic acids(MCCAs),the chain elongation technology has attracted wide attention in recent years. Chain elongation process could convert various biological wastes into MCCAs by the metabolism of specific microorganisms. Firstly these functional microorganisms were comprehensively introduced. Then, the mechanism (β-reverse oxidation) and reactions of chain elongation were described in details. In recent years, there were several advancements in chain elongation such as bio-electrochemical system, product extraction technology. Then the principles, practical applications and research progresses of those technologies which was beneficial to improving the yield of caproic acid, optimizing the process flow and reducing the operation costs were systematically introduced. Finally, the advantages, challenges and promoting approaches of mentioned methods were summarized.
- medium chain carboxylic acids,
- chain elongation technologies,
- anaerobic digestion,
- metabolic pathways,
- microorganisms
