A review of pervaporation for product recovery from biomass fermentation processes

TL;DR: In this article, the status of an emerging membrane-based technology, called pervaporation, for this application is reviewed and several issues and research priorities which will impact the ability of pervAPoration to be competitive for biofuel recovery from fermentation systems are identified and discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Separation technologies for the recovery and dehydration of alcohols from fermentation broths

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of energy-efficient alternative separation technologies for the production of ethanol and 1-butanol is presented, with an emphasis on the energy footprint of each approach.
Journal ArticleDOI

New insights and novel developments in clostridial acetone/butanol/isopropanol fermentation

TL;DR: A reintroduction of acetone/butanol fermentation on an industrial scale seems to be economically feasible, a view that is supported by a new pilot plant in Austria recently coming into operation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Butanol fermentation research: Upstream and downstream manipulations

TL;DR: It was found that C. beijerinckii BA101 was defective in PTS activity and that it compensates for this defect with enhanced glucokinase activity, resulting in an ability to transport and utilize glucose during the solventogenic stage, and gas stripping appears to be the most promising.

Butanol, ‘a superior biofuel’ production from agricultural residues (renewable biomass): recent progress in technology†

TL;DR: In this article, a review of bioconversion of plant materials such as wheat straw (WS), corn stover (CS), barley straw (BS), and switchgrass (SG) to butanol and process technology that converts these materials into this superior biofuel is presented.
