Butanol is considered a superior biofuel, as it is more energy dense and less hygroscopic
than the more popular ethanol, resulting in higher possible blending ratios with gasoline …

Background One of the major obstacles of acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentation
from renewable biomass resources is the energy-intensive separation process. To decrease …

Abstract Acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation is a primary strategy for producing bio-
based n-butanol from abundant renewable biomass. In the typical ABE production chain …

The bio-based n-butanol has major potential to replace fossil-based products due to, on the
first hand, the decline of crude oil and, on the other hand, since the butanol has high …

Traditionally, the design of a separation sequence for the biobutanol production has been
based primarily on economic criteria with little or no consideration to the environmental and …

Butanol is considered a superior biofuel, as it is more energy dense and less hygroscopic
than bioethanol, resulting in higher possible blending ratios with gasoline. However, the …

The biobutanol production have gained special attention due to diverse positive
characteristics compared with bioethanol, but one of the paramount problems is found at the …

The synthetic production of butanol has completely substitute the original fermentation
process where butanol, acetone and ethanol were simultaneously produced in the so called …

The design of optimal product, mixtures and processes must be performed relying on
systematic steps. For example, the separation and purification of the acetone-butanol …
