Analysis of the Energy Efficiency of some Butanol Recovery Processes

This work presents an energetic analysis of three butanol recovery processes from acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation broth. The processes were based on: 1) gas stripping, 2) liquid-liquid extraction, and 3) supercritical extraction. Material and energy balance simulations were carried out by...
