Recovery of bio-based medium-chain fatty acids with membrane filtration

Strategies for converting non-edible biomass into value-added chemicals: Economical and reliable biorefining processes

“…Although this technology has the advantage of being able to produce various high value-added substances such as energy, platform chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, there is still a technological barrier that purification processes are required. Various studies are trying to achieve economic feasibility by simplifying the purification process (McDowall et al 2022). The successful design of economical purification processes is expected to make saccharification and fermentation the most promising technologies for the production of high value-added substances from biomass.…”

Ethyl Hexanoate Rich Stream from Grape Pomace: A Viable Route to Obtain Fine Chemicals from Agro By-Products

“…In addition, the possible recovery of hexanoic acid from the residual aqueous phase would significantly increase the overall feasibility of the process. Using more efficient techniques for VFA recovery [39][40][41] would increase the productivity of hexanoic acid from the aqueous residual stream by considerably reducing the specific production cost and resulting in a feasible alternative way to process RGP and WGP [42]. Alongside the economic aspect, the proposed process also has a shallow environmental impact, and it is in complete agreement with the principles of the circular economy.. From the grape pomace chain elongation fermentation, a good amount of hexanoic acid was produced and recovered from the fermentation broth with elementary and lowimpact processes (acidification and phase separation).…”

Advances in in situ and in-line liquid–liquid extraction for bioprocess intensification

“…1 The separation step can be implemented either before, after (i.e., downstream), or at the same time with (i.e., in situ) fermentation. A number of separation techniques adsorption, 6,7 filtration, 8,9 electrodialysis, 10,11 and liquidliquid extraction. [12][13][14] Methods are selected based on the compound differences in physical (e.g., size/molecular weight, volatility, solubility) and chemical (e.g., charge, intermolecular interactions) properties.…”
