Butanol has similar characteristics to gasoline, and could provide an alternative oxygenate to ethanol in blended fuels. Butanol can be produced either via the biotechnological route, using microorganisms such as clostridia, or by the chemical route, using petroleum. Recently, interest has grown in the possibility of catalytic coupling of bioethanol into butanol over various heterogenic systems. This reaction has great potential, and could be a step towards overcoming the disadvantages of bioethanol as a sustainable transportation fuel. This paper summarizes the latest research on butanol synthesis for the production of biofuels in different biotechnological and chemical ways; it also compares potentialities and limitations of these strategies.
丁醇具有与汽油相似的特性，并且在混合燃料中可以作为乙醇的替代含氧化合物。丁醇可以通过生物技术途径，利用梭菌等微生物来生产，也可以通过化学途径，使用石油来生产。最近，人们对在各种多相体系中将生物乙醇催化偶联生成丁醇的可能性越来越感兴趣。该反应具有很大的潜力，可能是朝着克服生物乙醇作为可持续运输燃料的缺点迈出的一步。本文总结了以不同生物技术和化学方法生产生物燃料的丁醇合成的最新研究；还比较了这些策略的潜力和局限性。
