Abstract: | The technical possibilities of the microbial production of acetone, butanol and ethanol (ABE) from potato waste using in-line solvent recovery, are evaluated. Clostridium acetobutylicum DSM 1731 produces up to 20 g·l–1 of solvents when grown on a medium containing 14% (w/v) potato powder. Using a polypropylene perstraction system and a oleyl alcohol/decane mixture as the extractant, the product yield (based on total solvents and potato dry weight) increased from 0.13 g·g–1 to 0.23 g·g–1. The recovery system worked well for 50 h, after which membrane fouling frustrated proper operation. In the second system a microfiltration step was incorporated whereas the solvents were extracted through a hydrophilic membrane using fatty acid methyl esters from sunflower oil as an extractant. This process configuration resulted in a comparable increase of ABE production.
