Abstract
Biobutanol is produced from lignocellulose fermentation. Owing to the abundance of this feedstock and the similarities between the properties of biobutanol and gasoline, biobutanol represents a promising alternative to current crude-oil-based automotive fuel. Environmentally friendly recovery of biobutanol from the fermentation products is essential for achieving carbon-neutral production. Because extraction substantially lowers the energy demand for distillation, an eco-friendly deep eutectic solvent (DES) was applied for biobutanol extraction here, and the non-random two-liquid (NRTL) parameters that were compatible with the process design program were derived using experimental measurements and molecular simulations. For the liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE) parameter estimation, a non-iterative procedure was introduced with a suitable arrangement of binary parameters for the DES. Compared to previous studies, the process design results indicate a marked reduction in energy consumption for the near-complete recovery of high-purity biobutanol, requiring a comparable investment.
