Bycomparingtheresultingcapitalinvestmentandoperating costs between different cases, the impact of the rich solvent feed?ow andcompositiononproductrecoveryareaperfor mance was quanti?ed. These four examples, however, should not be regarded as process operating limits of this invention. The term “Solvent Column” is synonymous with the term “?rstdistillationcolumn”usedabove.Theterm“BUOH col umn” is synonymous with the term “second distillation col umn” used above. The abbreviation “OLEYLOH” refers to oleyl alcohol. The abbreviation “N-C6” refers to n-hexane.

This rich solvent feed condition is corresponding to 10 g/liter aqueous phase isobutanol titer in the fermenter which is maintained during the extractive fermentation process. In addition, a small amount of ethanol is assumed to be present in the fermentation broth. The mass ratio of ethanol to isobutanol in richsolventstreamisassumedtobe10wt% inthisExample. The separation is realized by a similar diameter solvent col umn,andasimilarsolventcolumnre-boilerandcondenser dutiesasthoseofExample 1.Stream60is8.9weightpercent ethanol and 90.1 weight percent isobutanol. Otherprocessparametersincludethefollowing:1)thetotal number of theoretical stages in the solvent column and the feedlocationofthepreheatedrichsolventstream;2)thesplit fractionoforganicre?uxtosolventcolumn;3)thedegreeof preheating of the rich solvent stream before feeding itto the solventcolumn;and4)theamountofentrainer,water,and65 solventallowedinthe?nalproduct.Theseparameterscanbe manipulated to achieve optimum separation performance.

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
