message: "Butanol from biomass is called biobutanol"  Isn't biobutanol a brand name from dupont?  --John Cumbers (talk) 17:36, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I would like to see info about what isomers the fermentation processes produce.  Butanol has 4 different ones. t-BuOH is unsuiatable on its own as it freezes at 25C--Oldboltonian 22:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Can anyone tell me why this article has a neutrality tag? Certainly the prose needs refining to eliminate incomprehensible phrasing like that discussed above, but that doesn't actually relate to the article's neutrality in an immediately obvious way. If it is no longer necessary can it be removed? thanks User:Jaganath 11:47, 28 September 2006
Yeah, can't see any point in the tag. Have removed, whoever added it can add it again if they feel it is necessary and explain why.  QuiteUnusual 15:05, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Can we get reputable, intelligent people to contribute to an article about a highly relevant alternative energy subject? Please, thank you.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.118.195.198 (talk) 00:02, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Some of the octane ratings dont even reflect octane ratings found on other wiki pages, All data tables should have citations to reputable sources02:41, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Octane Tables wrong 

message: An older version of a (same or related) Wikipedia article mentioned the strong odor of butanol as a hindrance to public acceptance as a biofuel.  I recall it was described like "smelly socks".  It seems worthy of mention (to me) if true, but I'd defer to an expert for the confirmation of fact and inclusion.

thread_title:  Butanol Smell? 

message: This paragraph was deleted with no comment:
The key research challenge that must be resolved is that butanol production inhibits microbial growth even at low concentrations. The result is that the product of the fermentation is less than 2% butanol. The overwhelming majority of the fermentation broth is water, so an energy-intensive distillation step is required for purification. This may be acceptable if the goal is to produce butanol for use as a solvent, but if butanol is to gain traction as a motor fuel, energy inputs into the process need to be minimized.

I didn't restore it because it refs a blog.  If this is valid, please restore it.  NJGW (talk) 22:35, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've written the author of that blog entry, who is apparently an expert on butanol production. Yakushima (talk) 12:33, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I believe this phrase, under "Research", does not constitute NPOV: "Yeasts as production organisms for butanol have decisive advantages compared to bacteria". Reference is then made to a commercial operation's Web site, which kinda looks like spam. I'd like to see more on the subject from other sources.--Rfsmit (talk) 21:48, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Not all bacteria used in the production of butanol are genetically modified. This section should really be reorganized, and possibly checked against some recent review articles in academic journals for NPOV and to make sure everything is current. If someone could propose a source (review) or two, I could verify if it's a good source for this article. Google Scholar is a great place to start. If an article is behind a paywall I might be able to help with that as well. I'm not sure if I will have time to trudge through the prose and editing process, though.
