ABSTRACT:
A process and apparatus for dewatering an ethanol-water solution is disclosed wherein a carrier gas is used to vaporize the solution and transport the vapors to a sorbent where water is sorbed in preference to ethanol. The invention is particularly suited for small-scale production of fuel-grade ethanol for blending with gasoline.
