Abstract:Ethanol
removal by CO2 stripping during alcoholic fermentation
is one way of overcoming the problem of inhibition by the product.
However, the lack of efficient methods to recover ethanol from the
gas phase still makes the use of stripping unviable. In this work,
gas absorption was evaluated as a method for the recovery of ethanol
from the gas mixture generated by CO2 stripping. First,
the solvents water, monoethylene glycol (MEG), and diethylene glycol
were evaluated in terms of their performance in ethanol a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
