Abstract

The invention discloses a method for producing methanol by methane bioconversion. In the method, methylosinus trichosporium is used as biocatalyst, methanol containing gas and oxygen-containing gas are introduced into solution containing the methylosinus trichosporium and phosphate through a breathable film to react so as to prepare high-concentration methanol solution. The method realizes methanol production by methane bioconversion by using the high-concentration phosphate as methanol dehydrogenase inhibitor to inhibit further oxidation of the methane, realizes high-concentration methanol production by using high cell concentration methylosinus trichosporium as the biocatalyst, avoids unsafe hidden danger possibly generated by mixing of the methane and oxygen in a bubbleless film aeration mode, and reinforces the gas-liquid mass transfer process of the methane and the oxygen. By adopting the method, high concentration methanol solution can be safely and effectively produced, so the invention provides a reliable technology for industrialization of methanol production by methane bioconversion.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for producing methanol by converting methane, in particular to a safe and efficient method for producing methanol by bioconverting methane. Background technique [0002] With the increasing shortage of oil resources, how to effectively use the abundant natural gas resources to replace the lack of oil and solve the problem of difficult gas transportation has attracted worldwide attention. Methanol is one of the main chemical products of natural gas. It is not only a clean energy source, but also an important basic chemical raw material. Methane is the main component of natural resources and renewable resources such as natural gas, methane hydrate, biogas, and coal mine gas. Converting gaseous methane into liquid methanol can not only reduce transportation and storage costs, but also enable wider utilization of methane resources through methanol. Biogas is a renewable resource that can be produced by anaerobic fermenta...
