Use of silicalite for the adsorption of n-butanol from fermentation liquors

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Silicalite, a zeolite analogue, has been used to adsorb n-butanol from fermentation liquors. 85 mg butanol/g silicalite can be adsorped. This provides a possible alternative to distillation for product recovery, and may alleviate the problem of product inhibition during fermentation.
