Dehydration of bioethanol with both pure ionic liquids and an ionic liquid anchored to mesoporous silica: a comparative study

ABSTRACT Bioethanol is produced by the fermentation of different raw materials; anhydrous ethanol is used as biofuel. This article reports the study of the dehydration of bioethanol by breaking the azeotrope, using ionic liquids as entrainers. Three ionic liquids (LIs) [EMIM][Cl], [EMIM][OAc], and [...
