[Gasification] [Terrapreta] Catalysts for making Butanol

[Benjamin Domingo Bof]

Dick, ABE method is from toxine as "clostridium acetobutillycus". This way strongest bacteriae work hard over wood giving three products for fractionated distillation. Acetone, Butanol and Ethanol. British Petroleum and DuPont are working in this.

Interesting history -- Weizmann in WWI developed the anaerobic fermentation
process that led to providing fuel for their war effort.  A Texas A&M 
engineering
 type has done some work on the process claiming considerable improvement in
yield.

Chaim Weizmann (1874-1952), Zionist leader and later (1948-1952) first
 president of Israel, was in his "daytime" professional life a pioneering
bio-organic chemist (nowadays best remembered for the acetone-butanol
fermentation process)

Best, Dick
