A promising route for sustainable 1-butanol (butanol) production is ABE (acetone, butanol, ethanol) fermentation. However, recovery of the products is challenging because of the low concentrations obtained in the aqueous solution, thus hampering large-scale production of biobutanol. Membrane and adsorbent-based technologies using hydrophobic zeolites are interesting alternatives to traditional separation techniques (e.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Lindsay Ohlin"

  • Lindsay Ohlin's research primarily focuses on the selective adsorption and separation processes of biobutanol from aqueous solutions, particularly using silicalite-1 membranes and films.
  • Her studies emphasize the challenges associated with recovering biobutanol, an important biofuel produced through fermentation, as traditional separation techniques are less effective in low-concentration scenarios.
  • Recent findings demonstrate that hydrophobic zeolitic materials like silicalite-1 can significantly enhance the efficiency of butanol extraction, potentially facilitating more sustainable biobutanol production methods.
