PRODUCTION OF BIO-BUTANOL AND RELATED PRODUCTS

The present invention provides a method for the production of an alkanol from biomass. The method for producing an alkanol, including n-butanol, comprises fermenting a carbohydrate to produce a diacid and converting the diacid into an alkanol by solution chemistry or solid phase chemistry. The carbo...

More Information
Summary:The present invention provides a method for the production of an alkanol from biomass. The method for producing an alkanol, including n-butanol, comprises fermenting a carbohydrate to produce a diacid and converting the diacid into an alkanol by solution chemistry or solid phase chemistry. The carbohydrate may be derived or extracted from a lignocellulose, an algae, a grain, or a starch containing root. La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un alcanol à partir d'une biomasse. Le procédé de fabrication d'un alcanol, comprenant du n-butanol, consiste à faire fermenter un glucide pour produire un diacide et à convertir le diacide en un alcanol par la chimie des solutions ou la chimie en phase solide. Le glucide peut être issu ou extrait d'une lignocellulose, d'une algue, d'une céréale ou d'une racine contenant de l'amidon.
