2013 AIChE Annual Meeting

Session: Separation Processes in Biorefineries

This session will focus on separation processes in biorefineries. Included are separation of hydrolyzates, particulates, fermentation products, solid-liquid separations, molecular separation processes and the like. Separation processes are key to the economic viability of biorefineries in the future.
