Author: Walter E. Goldstein Full Title: The Science Of Ethanol Publisher: CRC Press (December 15, 2016) Year: 2017 ISBN-13: 9781498726153 (978-1-4987-2615-3) ISBN-10: 1498726151 Pages: 274 Language: English Genre: Bio Energy File type: PDF (True, but nonnative Cover) Quality: 9/10 Price: £82.00 This book covers all facets involving the production and use of ethanol. Topics include the optimization of raw materials, energy, capital, process model-based computer control, and human resources to produce ethanol. It compares and contrasts processes to prepare ethanol using biotechnology processes to prepare ethanol from chemical synthesis. Matters of optimization of ethanol use as fuel/fuel components are addressed based on thermodynamics, kinetics, and usage. It also discusses pollutants produced from ethanol and mixtures containing ethanol, the status of ways to control these pollutants, and what can be done to minimize the harm to the earth’s ecosystems due to ethanol and gasoline reactions. Features: ✓ Presents multiple aspects of ethanol production, use, optimization, economics, and commercialization. ✓ Includes the optimization of raw materials, energy, capital, process model based-computer control, and human resources to produce ethanol. ✓ Examines the potential environmental impacts/benefits of ethanol use, and compares it to other combustible fuels. ✓ Covers improving performance and economics for applications of ethanol in fuels and in manufacturing. ✓ Identifies pollutants produced from ethanol and mixtures containing ethanol and the ways to control and minimize such pollutants. ------------- Our members see more.
