Abstract

Utilization of biomass resources has considerable contribution to the reduction of carbon dioxide emission. Ethanol is one of the biomass products and is used as an additive to gasoline in several countries. Conventional process to produce ethanol involves energy-intensive azeotropic distillation. Pervaporation (PV) or vapor permeation (VP) is considered to be an alternative separation process to the conventional process.(omitted)
