Abstract

Vacuum membrane distillation efficiently concentrates dilute ethanol streams produced by CO2_2 electrolysis (CO2R), yielding up to ~40 wt.% ethanol in pure water. Our results allow for a more precise estimation of energy inputs to the separation processes and for the reformulation of CO2R technology development goals.
