Methodological information

  The carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the product stream was analysed using a XTREAM-CO2 analyser provided by Rosemount.The XTREAM-CO2 analyser provided the CO2 concentration in part per million (ppm) units. The XTREAM-CO2 analyser was connected with a PC for continuous data recording (1 gata point per second).
  The concentration of CO2 (in ppm) was then converted to a CO2 production rate and turn over frequency (TOF) using the equations (1) and (2) respectively (the equations can be found in the manuscript).
