Catalytic conversion of fermentation derived ethanol to gasoline
01 Jan 1982
Abstract
The use of fermentation alcohol as a liquid fuel in gasohol has received considerable attention in recent years. The process economics of fermentation alcohol production centers around the energy intensive step to ethanol separation from the broth. Several investigations on energy efficient means of ethanol separation have been carried out recently. For example, Ladisch and Dyck and Fanta et al. studied adsorbent drying, Black suggested improved distillation methods, Gregor and Jeffries (6) investigated membrane processes, and Leeper and Wankat explored extraction techniques. In this article the authors present a proposed scheme of recovering ethanol by conversion directly to hydrocarbons that are then separated easily by decantation.
