Continuous Ethanol Production with a Membrane Bioreactor at High Acetic Acid Concentrations

Continuous Ethanol Production with a Membrane Bioreactor at High Acetic Acid Concentrations

The release of inhibitory concentrations of acetic acid from lignocellulosic raw materials during hydrolysis is one of the main concerns for 2nd generation ethanol production. The undissociated form of acetic acid can enter the cell by diffusion through the plasma membrane and trigger several toxic...
