TY - JOUR AU - Grisales Díaz, Víctor Hugo AU - Olivar Tost, Gerard PY - 2017 DA - 2017/02/13 TI - Techno-economic analysis of extraction-based separation systems for acetone, butanol, and ethanol recovery and purification JO - Bioresources and Bioprocessing SP - 12 VL - 4 IS - 1 AB - Dual extraction, high-temperature extraction, mixture extraction, and oleyl alcohol extraction have been proposed in the literature for acetone, butanol, and ethanol (ABE) production. However, energy and economic evaluation under similar assumptions of extraction-based separation systems are necessary. Hence, the new process proposed in this work, direct steam distillation (DSD), for regeneration of high-boiling extractants was compared with several extraction-based separation systems.
