ABSTRACT:
An adsorptive separation process for separating water from a feed mixture comprising ethanol and water, which process comprises contacting the feed mixture with an adsorbent comprising corn meal, selectively adsorbing substantially all of the water to be separated to the substantial exclusion of the ethanol and thereafter recovering high purity ethanol. The used corn meal may be fermented to provide a source of ethanol. The process may employ a countercurrent moving bed or simulated moving bed countercurrent flow system.
