Perstraction (membrane-aided solvent extraction) was utilized for elimination of ethanol inhibition in continuous ethanol fermentation using high sugar concentrate. Hollow fibres for an artificial kidney were used as a permeable membrane, and their capacity to extract ethanol was examined by using several organic solvents. When tri-n-butylphosphate was used as an extractant, a 500g/l feed glucose medium was successfully fermented by immobilized yeast cells. During this continuous fermentation a high ethanol productivity of 48 g/h.l-gel was held, and the solvent requirement per consumed glucose was 6 l-solvent/kg-gluose. 17 references.
