“…The conceptual process diagram proposed in Figure comprises the steps of 1,3-PDO and glycerol partitioning in the system proposed, target compound isolation from the top (ethanol-rich) and bottom (salt-rich) phases, and the recovery and reuse of the phase-forming components of the salting-out extraction. Ethanol has a lower boiling temperature, which can be separated by applying controlled evaporation, thus leading to the isolation of 1,3-PDO and the recycling and reuse of ethanol, allowing it to be used to create a new extraction system . According to the literature, an ultrafiltration step can isolate glycerol from the salt phase.…”
