Samenvatting
Biobutanol is an important platform chemical which can be produced from renewable resources via the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation process. However, product inhibition severely limits the final butanol concentrations (< 2 wt%), making the conventional downstream
processing via steam-stripping distillation very expensive. One way to relieve product inhibition is by in situ product removal, using the fermentation gasses to strip the produced solvents from the fermenter. However, subsequent energy-intensive separation steps are still needed to completely recover and purify the produced biobutanol.
In this work, a novel adsorption-desorption process is proposed to recovery biobutanol from the vapor mixture generated via gas-stripping. Two adsorbent materials, with a different selectivity, were combined in one cycle. In a first step, biobutanol is recovered from the vapor mixture using a butanol-selective zeolite (ITQ-29). During the regeneration of this material, co-adsorbed side products
are captured using a second material (Si-CHA). This material is not selective for butanol, yet is able to remove the most important side products. In this way, 99% of the adsorbed 1-butanol on ITQ-29 could be recovered at a purity of 99.5 mole-%.
