ICL researchers develop new membrane-based system for cheap, efficiently made biofuels

Green Car Congress

Here, we describe a membrane-based extraction (perstraction) system for the recovery of fuel-grade biobutanol from fermentation broths which can extract n-butanol with high purity (499.5%) while using less than 25% of the energy of current technology options. —Kim et al.
