Abstract
One aspect of the present invention relates to polymers containing redox-responsive moieties (such as, ferrocene). In certain embodiments, the present invention relates to in-situ continuous separation systems which use such redox-responsive polymers for low-molecular weight alcohol removal from an aqueous mixture; such systems enhance the production of low-molecular weight alcohols by reducing the product inhibition effects that plague their production from bio-mass by fermentation.
