Title: Effect of sodium and potassium salts on the extraction of 1-butanol from aqueous solution by the ethyl esters of soybean oil fatty acids

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6415517

The effect of 0 to 0.15 M sodium chloride, sulfate, and sulfite, and potassium acid phosphate on the extraction of 0.1 to 4.1% 1-butanol from aqueous solutions (derived from fermentation of wood pulp liquors) at 25, 40, and 55 C was evaluated using a factorial experiment. The changes in distribution coefficient were small, with mild increases occurring with increasing temperature and increasing sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, and potassium acid phosphate. Mild decreases in 1-butanol extraction occurred with increasing sodium sulfite. 6 refs., 4 tabs.
