Abstract

Acetone-Butanol-Ethanol (ABE) industrial production by fermentation is strongly affected by the low concentration of solvent (<25 g/L) that affects the cost of the recovery process. To decrease the overall cost of the butanol production, alternative routes for the recovery have proposed in literature. This paper presents a techno-economic analysis of an innovative butanol recovery process from ABE fermentation broth based on gas stripping technique. The comparison with a recovery process based on conventional distillation is also presented. The investigated recovery line included gas stripping, absorption of butanol in a selected solvent, and distillation to separate the butanol from the selected liquid. The proposed and the conventional pr...
