Efficient Separation of Isoamyl Alcohol from Fusel Oil Using Non-Polar Solvent and Hybrid Decanter–Distillation Process

Fusel oil is a fermentation by-product composed of a complex mixture of alcohols (ethanol, isoamyl, propanol, and butanol isomers) and water. The primary challenges lie in water separation and the recovery of the valuable component, isoamyl alcohol. In this work, we demonstrate an efficient separati...
