Bacterial fermentations generally produce 1-butanol together wth acetone, ethanol, 2-propanol, or 1-pentanol. The effect of these materials on the extraction of 1-butanol from aqueous solution by the ethyl ester of soybean oil fatty acids was determined using a factorial experimental design. Concentrations of 1-butanol ranged from 0.1 to 4.1% w/v, while the concentrations of coproduced alcohols and ketones ranged up to 4.0% w/v. Acetone, ethanol, and 2-propanol had little effect on 1-butanol extraction, while a slight increase in extraction appeared with increasing 1-pentanol. The extraction of acetone, ethanol, 2-propanol, and 1-pentanol was not measured. 9 refs., 4 tabs.
