Separation of Isoprenol‐Dimethyldioxane Mixture by Vacuum and Extractive Distillation
International Journal of Chemical EngineeringThis study investigates the isolation of commercial isoprenol, a by-product of large-scale isoprene production. The challenge lies in separating isoprenol from an azeotropic mixture with 4,4-dimethyldioxane-1,3.

Density of solutions of formaldehyde in water and alcohols [PDF]
AIChE Journal, Volume 68, Issue 4, April 2022., 2022 Abstract Formaldehyde is an important chemical that is mostly handled in aqueous solutions, which generally also contain methanol; furthermore, also solutions of formaldehyde in other alcohols are used. The density of these solutions is an important thermophysical property.

Tolerance Characterization and Isoprenol Production of Adapted Escherichia coli in the Presence of Ionic Liquids [PDF]
ACS Sustainable Chemistry & Engineering, 2018 Ionic liquid (IL)-based pretreatment makes lignocellulosic biomass more accessible to enzymes and improves enzymatic digestibility. However, the ILs left in biomass slurry after pretreatment could inhibit activity of enzymes and microbial fermentation. Therefore, it is necessary to develop robust host strains that are IL-tolerant.

Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2021 Isoprenol (3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol) is an important intermediate in the chemical industry, which is used, for example, in the production of citral. It is produced from aqueous formaldehyde and isobutene and has to be separated from mixtures containing formaldehyde and water in the purification process, which is complicated, as formaldehyde is highly ...

Metabolic engineering of Escherichia coli for high-specificity production of isoprenol and prenol as next generation of biofuels [PDF]
Biotechnology for Biofuels, 2013 Abstract Background The isopentenols, including isoprenol and prenol, are excellent alternative fuels. However, they are not compounds largely accumulated in natural organism. The need for the next generation of biofuels with better physical and chemical properties impels us to develop biosynthetic routes for the ...

Quantifying Isoprenoids in the Ergosterol Biosynthesis by Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry [PDF]
Journal of Fungi, 2023 The ergosterol pathway is a promising target for the development of new antifungals since its enzymes are essential for fungal cell growth. Appropriate screening assays are therefore needed that allow the identification of potential inhibitors.
