The invention described herein presents compositions and methods for a multistep biological and chemical process for the capture and conversion of carbon dioxide and/or other forms of inorganic carbon into organic chemicals including biofuels or other useful industrial, chemical, pharmaceutical, or biomass products. One or more process steps utilizes chemoautotrophic microorganisms to fix inorganic carbon into organic compounds through chemosynthesis. An additional feature described are process steps whereby electron donors used for the chemosynthetic fixation of carbon are generated by chemical or electrochemical means, or are produced from inorganic or waste sources. An additional feature described are process steps for recovery of useful chemicals produced by the carbon dioxide capture and conversion process, both from chemosynthetic reaction steps, as well as from non-biological reaction steps.

Anaerobic digestion is enhanced based on the coupling of electron transfer with microbial electrolytic cell. A traditional anaerobic digestion reactor is used as the main body, a microbial electrolytic cell applied with a micro voltage is constructed, and the electron transfer in the system is optimized by an immobilized conductor material, to establish an efficient electron output-transfer-consumption anaerobic digestion pathway to produce methane.

An anaerobic digestion device based on self-sustained air flotation includes an anaerobic digestion tank unit, a self-sustained air flotation screening unit and a biogas measurement and collection unit. The self-sustained air flotation screening unit includes an air flotation screening part, a material sedimentation part, a reflux part and a three-phase separation part connected sequentially from bottom to top. A digested material in the anaerobic digestion tank unit is pumped into the air flotation screening part, overflows into the material sedimentation part, and then is raised to the reflux part. Gas passing through the three-phase separation part and gas produced in the anaerobic digestion tank unit enter the biogas measurement and collection unit to be measured and collected.

The invention relates to a bioprocessing system having a main line (2) for conduction of a main flow (3) of a liquid, in particular biological, medium (45), having a main flow pump (5) for generation of the main flow (3) and having a system part (46) connected to the main line (2). What is proposed is that the bioprocessing system (1) comprises a powder transfer system (8) for metered delivery, in particular dust-free metered delivery, of an additive (47) and a feed line (9) which is connected to the powder transfer system (8) and which opens into the main line (2) at a feed point (10) and which comprises a return flow preventer (11) for prevention of a return flow of liquid medium (45), that the powder transfer system (8) feeds the additive (47) into the feed line (9) in powder form and drives it toward the feed point (10) by means of a pressurized transport gas (12) and that at least some of the fed additive (47) is input into the liquid medium (45) within the main line (2) downstream of the feed point (10) before the liquid medium (45) enriched with the additive (47) passes through or reaches the system part (46) connected to the main line (2).
