The properties of butanol offer more promising results compared to those of lower chain
alcohol such as methanol or ethanol. However, butanol as a biofuel has not yet been …

Multi‐column distillation followed by molecular sieve adsorption is currently the standard
method for producing fuel‐grade ethanol from dilute fermentation broths in modern corn‐to …

The microbial production of 1-butanol occurs in aqueous fermentation broth, with up to∼ 20
g/L of product. Efficient recovery of butanol from this dilute aqueous phase determines, to a …

The alternative fuel butanol can be produced via acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE)
fermentation from biomass. The high costs for the separation of ABE from the dilute …

Among several liquid alternative fuels, biobutanol has shown great promise because of its
very similar properties to gasoline. This review provides an overview of research activities in …

Plants offer the tantalizing prospect of low-cost automated manufacturing processes for
biopharmaceutical proteins, but several challenges must be addressed before such goals …

This report was commissioned by IEA Bioenergy Task 39 with the goal of providing a
background to the topic, an assessment of technical approaches being developed and an …

Evaluating a wealth of quantitative data, Biofuels: Biotechnology, Chemistry, and
Sustainable Development discusses different types of biofuels, the science behind their …

Development of technologies for biobutanol production by fermentation has resulted in
higher final butanol concentrations, less fermentation by-products and higher volumetric …

The production of biobutanol is hindered by the product's toxicity to the bacteria, which limits
the productivity of the process. In situ product recovery of butanol can improve the …
