Abstract
Adsorption equilibrium assays were carried out in order to find adsorb ents selective for ethanol to use in a fermentation process. Three hyd rophobic adsorbents - silicalite, ZSM-5 and CMS-5A - were tested. Resu lts of adsorption equilibrium at 298 K of ethanol, glucose, fructose a nd glycerol from aqueous solutions of each single solute are given. Et hanol adsorption isotherms were described by Langmuir-type equations. Some kinetic assays of ethanol adsorption are also presented The resul ts obtained appear to be useful for practicioners on the fermentation- processes field (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
