Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods of producing renewable materials may include consuming a fermentation feedstock with a fermentation organism to produce a renewable material in fermentation broth; water may then be separated from the feedstock or broth using one or more phase separations, or the renewable material may be concentrated from the feedstock or broth using one or more phase separations. Methods of producing biofuel components may include consuming a lignocellulosic or sugar fermentation feedstock with a fermentation organism to produce either ethanol or butanol in fermentation broth; cooling the feedstock or broth to solidify at least some water therein; and separating the solidified water from the feedstock or broth using a solid-liquid phase separation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of producing a renewable material, the method comprising: consuming at least a portion of a fermentation feedstock with a fermentation organism to produce a renewable material in fermentation broth, the fermentation feedstock and fermentation broth comprising water; lowering a pressure of the fermentation feedstock and/or the fermentation broth to or below a saturation pressure of the fermentation broth and generating a vapor enriched in renewable…
