Recovery of volatile bioproducts by pervaporation

Organophilic prevaporation is linkened to steam distillation in the recovery of volatile bioproducts of fermentation or plant origin. Potential applications are to biosynthetic chemicals (e.g., EtOH; BuOH), aroma compounds (e.g., gamma-decalactone; 6-pentyl-2-pyrone), and essential oils. Unlike steam distillation, pervaporation may be combined with an active fermenter. (orig.)Reprinted from: Crespo, J.G., Boeddeker, K.W. (eds.): Membrane processes in separation and purification.
