The effect of alcohol on methane-water volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) and solubility of methane was investigated in this study. Various alcohols including methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, butanol, and pentanol were added to aqueous solution and enhancement of both methane-water kLa (from 72 h-1 to 471 h-1) and solubility (from 21.72 mg/L to 30.41 mg/L) was observed, depending on alcohol type and concentration. Among all alcohols, 1-propanol exhibited largest enhancement via bubble coalescence inhibition effect. Enhanced methane-water kLa and methane solubility in aqueous solution were employed for the fermentation of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, and cell growth rate and maximum optical density were increased by 700% and 730%, respectively, by addition of 1-propanol.
