Okokuqala, ukuvutshelwa kuwuhlobo lwenqubo yezinto eziphilayo, okuyinqubo eyinkimbinkimbi yezinto eziphilayo yokuguqula ushukela ube yi-carbon dioxide notshwala ngaphansi kwezimo ze-anaerobic.Kule nqubo, ushukela ubola nge-anaerobically ube yi-ethanol ne-carbon dioxide, bese i-ethanol ibuye iboliswe ibe i-acetic acid ne-carbon dioxide.

Isopropanoliwuhlobo lotshwala, oluwuketshezi oluguquguqukayo noluvutha kalula.Ngokuvamile isetshenziswa njenge-solvent kanye ne-antifreeze.Enqubweni yokuvutshelwa, ushukela uchithwa nge-anaerobically ku-ethanol ne-carbon dioxide, ukuze kukhiqizwe isopropanol.Ngakho-ke, kungashiwo ukuthi isopropanol iwumkhiqizo wokuvutshelwa.

Kodwa-ke, inqubo yokuvutshelwa iyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu, futhi izimo nezinto ezidingekayo zokuvutshelwa zihlukile.Ngaphezu kwalokho, imikhiqizo yokuvutshelwa ingase ihluke.Ngakho-ke, izimo ezithile nezinto ezidingekayo ekukhiqizeni isopropanol azicacile.

Ngokuvamile, i-isopropanol iwumkhiqizo wokuvutshelwa.Kodwa-ke, izimo ezithile nezinto ezidingekayo ekukhiqizeni kwayo akucaci.Kudingeka ukuqhubeka nokutadisha inqubo yokuvutshelwa kanye nezimo nezinto ezidingekayo ekukhiqizeni kwayo ukuze uthole ulwazi olunembile mayelana nokukhiqizwa kwe-isopropanol.
