Processo para produção de solventes utilizando adsorção em fase líquida.

摘要

Methods and systems are provided for the separation of solvents, including, but not limited to, butanol, from a fermentative solventogenesis reaction medium that utilizes Clostridium beijerinckii NCIMB 8052 or derivatives thereof, including, but not limited to, Clostridium beijerinckii BA101, ATCC No. PTA-1550, by contacting the reaction medium directly with an adsorbent that selectively adsorbs the solvent; separating the adsorbent/solvent adsorbate from the reaction medium; and desorbing the solvent adsorbate from the adsorbent.
