- Additional information
- The enduring challenge of continuous extraction of higher alcohols from fermentation broths stands in the way of widespread substitution of fossil fuels by bio-based alternatives. Combining a polymer from Hanyang University with membrane fabrication at Imperial College/Queen Mary, a membrane perstraction process was developed to meet the challenge set by BP in their biofuels development programme (john.e.baker@uk.bp.com).
