Novel distillation process for effective and stable separation of high-concentration acetone–butanol–ethanol mixture from fermentation–pervaporation integration process

Abstract Background One of the major obstacles of acetone–butanol–ethanol (ABE) fermentation from renewable biomass resources is the energy-intensive separation process. To decrease the energy demand of the ABE downstream separation processes, hybrid in situ separation system with conventional disti...
