Ethanol What is Ethanol? Ethanol‚ which is sometimes called ethyl alcohol‚ pure alcohol‚ or grain alcohol is defined as‚ “a high octane‚ clean burning‚ American- made renewable fuels.” Ethanol is an increasing important aspect of our society and its popularity is becoming more widespread on a daily basis. Ethanol‚ a substance made out of Sugar-cane‚ maize‚ sorghum‚ wheat ‚ and other grains‚ has become one of the main viable source of energy in the world. In countries like South

Comparison of Three Isomers of Butanol SCH 4UI Abstract The Hydroxyl group on alcohols relates to their reactivity. This concept was explored by answering the question “Does each alcohol undergo halogenation and controlled oxidation?” . Using three isomers of butanol; the primary 1-butanol‚ the secondary 2-butanol and the tertiary 2-methyl-2-propanol‚ also referred to as T-butanol‚ two experiments were performed to test the capabilities of the alcohols. When mixed with hydrochloric acid in

three times as much carbohydrate for fuel ethanol production (Comis‚ 2008). Ethanol production from fresh cassava roots using a low-temperature process was evaluated on a pilot-plant scale. The application of low-temperature cooking to cassava starch followed by a dual enzyme action resulted in an ethanol yield comparable to that of a traditional high-temperature cooking process. Pressurized distillation gave a satisfactory recovery efficiency of ethanol but was slightly lower than that obtained

After reading Ethanol Madness in The Economics of Public Issues (Miller‚ Benjamin‚ & North)‚ most of America is not benefiting from the production of ethanol. The only ones benefiting from ethanol requirements are ethanol producers‚ farmers‚ Brazilian farmers and politicians. Congress and the United Sates government are both benefiting from the ethanol requirements and the import tariff on ethanol. In the chapter I learned that ethanol is not as renewable as it seems. It is an alternative to biofuel

Ethanol‚ a Fuel? Ethanol fuel is a type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages that is often made from common agricultural products. It is either mass-produced by fermentation of sugars or from cellulose. Wheat or corn kernels are ground in a hammer-mill to expose the starch‚ the ground grain is then mixed with water‚ heated briefly and enzymes are added to convert the starch to sugar using a chemical reaction called hydrolysis. Yeast is added to ferment the sugars to ethanol and finally the

Ethanol fuel is ethanol (ethyl alcohol). Ethanol‚ also called ethyl alcohol‚ pure alcohol‚ grain alcohol‚ or drinking alcohol‚ is a volatile‚ flammable‚ colorless liquid. A psychoactive drug and one of the oldestrecreational drugs known‚ ethyl alcohol produces a state known as alcohol intoxication when consumed. Best known as the type of alcohol found in alcoholic beverages‚ it is also used in thermometers‚ as a solvent‚ and as a fuel. In common usage‚ it is often referred to simply as alcohol or spirits

Ethanol Production Ethanol is the type of alcohol found in alcoholic drinks such as wine and beer. Its chemical formula is: C2H5OH. Glucose from plant material is converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide by fermentation. The enzymes found in yeast (single-celled fungi) are the natural catalysts that can make this process happen. Here is the word equation: Sugar → Ethanol + Carbon Dioxide
