20120156738 | PRODUCTION OF ALCOHOL ESTERS AND IN SITU PRODUCT REMOVAL DURING ALCOHOL FERMENTATION - An alcohol fermentation process and composition that includes production of alcohol esters by esterification of product alcohol in a fermentation medium with a carboxylic acid (e.g., fatty acid) and a catalyst (e.g., lipase) capable of esterifying the product alcohol, such as butanol, with the carboxylic acid to form the alcohol esters. The alcohol esters can be extracted from the fermentation medium, and the product alcohol recovered from the alcohol esters. The carboxylic acid can also serve as an extractant for removal of the alcohol esters from the fermentation medium. | 06-21-2012 |
20120164302 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR REMOVING UNDISSOLVED SOLIDS PRIOR TO EXTRACTIVE FERMENTATION IN THE PRODUCTION OF BUTANOL - A method and system for efficiently producing a fermentative product alcohol such as butanol utilizing in situ product extraction are provided. The efficiency is obtained through separating undissolved solids after liquefying a given feedstock to create a feedstock and prior to fermentation, for example, through centrifugation. Removal of the undissolved solids avoids problems associated with having the undissolved solids present during in situ production extraction, and thereby increases the efficiency of the alcohol production. | 06-28-2012 |
