Manufacturing the Renewable Fuel of Butanol by Adsorption Separation Processes with the Novel Starch Sorbent

Article Preview

Abstract:

Bio-based butanol has superior properties when compared to ethanol to be the gasohol and is gradually considered to be an important biofuel from the biomass fermentation of ABE solution. The potential sorbents for acetone (A), 1-butanol (B), and ethanol (E) recovery process will be analyzed by the isotherm data and the sorbents, such as potato starch sorbent and ZSM-5 will be selected. The above sorbents to adsorb acetone, 1-butanol, and ethanol for single-component adsorption using adsorption equilibrium apparatus will be conducted and the isotherm data will be obtained.
