Ethanol: Science and Engineering
reviews the most significant research findings in both ethanol
production and utilization. The book's contents are divided into four
parts, beginning with an explanation of the chemical reactions involved
during the conversion of ethanol to more complex molecules. Other
sections focus on various processes and their potential use, the
modelling of various chemical processes, and finally, their economic and
environmental impact. The book includes the most advanced production
processes, new technologies, applications, and the economic role ethanol
plays today. The book will be great for researchers and engineers in
both academic and industry.
The idea of using ethanol as a fuel
is one of the most promising options in the arena of alternative fuels
because of it versatile use as an intermediate for producing hydrogen
via reforming reactions, direct fuel cells feed and/or its production
from biomass, which is also considered a sustainable feedstock.
- Reviews ethanol production methods from biomass
- Discusses the potential of ethanol as a viable future fuel
- Includes hydrogen production methods using ethanol in catalytic reforming processes
- Outlines the various technologies based on ethanol
- Includes ethanol powered fuel cells
