In recent years, the attention has shifted from first-generation bioethanol to the production of higher molecular weight alcohols, such as biobutanol, from cellulosic feedstocks. The economic feasibility of such processes depends on several parameters such as the cost of raw materials, the fermentation performance and the energy demand for the pretreatment of biomass and downstream processing. In this work, two conceptual process scenarios for isobutanol production, one with and one without integrated product removal from the fermentor by vacuum stripping, were developed and evaluated using SuperPro Designer®. In agreement with previous publications, it was concluded that the fermentation titer is a crucial parameter for the economic competitiveness of the process as it is closely related to the energy requirements for product purification. In the first scenario where the product titer was 22 g/L, the energy demand for downstream processing was 15.8 MJ/L isobutanol and the unit production cost of isobutanol was $2.24/L.

  • Isobutanol and Drinking Water (PDF)
    HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT UNIT Isobutanol and Drinking Water Isobutanol is a contaminant that has been found in waters that could be used as drinking water sources in Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) developed a health-based guidance value for isobutanol in drinking water and, based on this value and levels found in drinking water, does not expect isobutanol in drinking water will harm Minnesotans. Summary Isobutanol is used as a solvent and chemical manufacturing ingredient in several industries and may be used as a biofuel. The first commercial isobutanol biofuel site opened in Minnesota in 2012. Isobutanol has been found in stormwater runoff and groundwater in Minnesota. Isobutanol Isobutanol is used as a solvent in the flavor, fragrance, pharmaceutical, and pesticide industries and as a chemical manufacturing ingredient for products such as lacquer, paint strippers, paint primer, and craft paints. It is an approved food additive and is also naturally-occurring in some foods and many alcoholic beverages. Isobutanol may also be used as a biofuel because, like ethanol, it can be manufactured from corn and other plants. The first commercial bio-based isobutanol site in the United States opened in 2012 at a converted ethanol plant in southwestern Minnesota.1 A second plant was converted from ethanol to isobutanol production by 2015. Isobutanol in Minnesota Waters Isobutanol has been detected in stormwater runoff near an isobutanol production site in Minnesota at levels between 98 and 308 parts per billion (ppb). This runoff flows to a retaining pond which may be connected to local groundwater. Isobutanol has been detected in groundwater monitoring wells near landfills at levels between 74.5 and 105 ppb.2 MDH Guidance Value Based on available information, MDH developed a guidance value of 300 ppb for isobutanol in water.3 A person drinking water at or below the guidance value would have little or no risk of health effects.

  • Effect of Alcohols on Filamentation, Growth, Viability and Biofilm Development in Candida Albicans
    Brazilian Journal of Microbiology 44, 4, 1315-1320 (2013) Copyright © 2013, Sociedade Brasileira de Microbiologia ISSN 1678-4405 www.sbmicrobiologia.org.br Research Paper Effect of alcohols on filamentation, growth, viability and biofilm development in Candida albicans Nitin M Chauhan, Ravikumar B Shinde, S. Mohan Karuppayil DST-FIST and UGC-SAP Sponsored School of Life Sciences, SRTM University, Nanded, M.S, India. Submitted: August 2, 2012; Approved: April 4, 2013. Abstract In this study we report the potential of alcohols as morphogenetic regulators in Candida albicans. All the alcohols tested influenced various modes of growth like planktonic as well as biofilm forms. Via- bility was affected at high concentrations. Among the alcohols, the response of C. albicans to amyl alcohol (pentanol) was noteworthy. Amyl alcohol at a concentration 0.5% which was not inhibitory to growth and viability specifically inhibited morphogenetic switching from yeast to hyphal forms. It also inhibited normal biofilm development favoring yeast dominated biofilms. Based on this study we hypothesize that alcohols produced under anaerobic conditions may not favor biofilm develop- ment and support dissemination of yeast cells. Since anaerobic conditions are not found to favor pro- duction of quorum sensing molecules like farnesol, the alcohols may play a role in morphogenetic regulation.
