Abstract:
... Lignocellulosic biomass-derived ethanol offers a potential alternative to fossil-derived fuels. However, the energy-intensive nature of its recovery process, i.e., a sequence of two distillation columns – beer and rectification columns - enriching from 5 to 37, and 37–93wt%, respectively, limits its environmental and economic benefits. In this paper, we assess the potential of using zeolite membra ...
