    Abstract: This invention is directed to methods for recovery of C3-C6 alcohols from dilute aqueous solutions, such as fermentation broths. Such methods provide improved volumetric productivity for the fermentation and allows recovery of the alcohol. Such methods also allow for reduced energy use in the production and drying of spent fermentation broth due to increased effective concentration of the alcohol product by the simultaneous fermentation and recovery process which increases the quantity of alcohol produced and recovered per quantity of fermentation broth dried. Thus, the invention allows for production and recovery of C3-C6 alcohols at low capital and reduced operating costs.

    Abstract translation: 本发明涉及从稀释的水溶液如发酵液中回收C3-C6醇的方法。 这样的方法提供了用于发酵的改进的体积生产率并允许酒精回收。 由于通过同时发酵和回收过程增加了醇产物的有效浓度,所以这种方法还允许在用过的发酵液的生产和干燥中减少能量消耗,这增加了每一批发酵液干燥产生和回收的醇的量。 因此,本发明允许以低资本生产和回收C3-C6醇,降低运行成本。
