The use of mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) to facilitate the production of biofuels has attracted significant research interest in the field of renewable energy. In this study, the pervaporation separation of butanol from aqueous solutions was studied...
Biobutanol is a renewable, less polluting, and potentially viable alternative fuel to conventional gasoline. Biobutanol can be produced from same sources as bioethanol, and it has many advantages over the widespread bioethanol. This paper systematica...
A counter-current CO2 fractionation method was applied as a mean to recover n-butanol and other compounds that are typically obtained from biobutanol fermentation broth from aqueous solutions. The influence of operating variables, such as solvent-to-...
Biobutanol can be obtained by fermentation of microorganisms and used as biofuel. The membrane separation is energetically favorable. The incorporation of butanol into syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) with crystalline nanopores was investigated as a fu...
Production of bio-alcohols is one of the approaches used in the development of alternative energy. Pervaporation is a promising option for the separation of bio-alcohols from the fermentation mixture. A serious problem in the process of continuous ex...
The transient and steady pervaporation of 1-butanol–water mixtures through a poly[1-(trimethylsilyl)-1-propyne] (PTMSP) membrane was studied to observe and elucidate the diffusion phenomena in this high-performing organophilic glassy polymer. P...
Environmental impact assessment is a crucial aspect of biofuels production to ensure that the process generates emissions within the designated limits. In typical cellulosic biofuel production process, the pretreatment and downstream processing stage...
Biorefinery has emerged in recent years as an alternative to petrorefinery, as biofuels have all the potential to replace fossil fuels for the sustainable development of human society. From this aspect, lignocellulosic biomasses are the most importan...
Developing a more efficient, cleaner, and energy-saving pretreatment process is the primary goal for lignocellulosic biofuels production. This study demonstrated the feasibility of circulating high-concentration acetone–butanol–ethanol (A...
This review synthesizes recent research on alternative fuels for piston-engine aircraft and related propulsion technologies. Biofuels show substantial promise but face technological, economic, and regulatory barriers to widespread adoption. Among liq...
