INTRODUCTION
• Molecular formula : C2H6O
• Molar mass : 46.07 g/mol
• Density : 0.789 g/cm3 (at 25oC)
• Boiling point : 78.37oC
• Melting point : -114.3oC
• Flash point of pure ethanol : 16.60oC
• Stable but highly flammable
Flammability
• The flash points of ethanol concentrations from 10% ABV to 96% ABV are
shown below:
• 10% — 49 °C (120 °F)
• 20% — 36 °C (97 °F)
• 30% — 29 °C (84 °F)
• 40% — 26 °C (79 °F)
• 50% — 24 °C (75 °F)
• 60% — 22 °C (72 °F)
• 70% — 21 °C (70 °F)
• 80% — 20 °C (68 °F)
• 90% — 17 °C (63 °F)
• 96% — 17 °C (63 °F)
• Alcoholic beverages that have a low concentration of ethanol will burn if
sufficiently heated and an ignition source (such as an electric spark or a
match) is applied to them. For example, the flash point of ordinary wine
containing 12.5% ethanol is about 52 °C
PREPARATION
METHODS
• From biomass like sugar, starch and cellulose
• Sulfuric acid process
• Phosphoric acid process
• From acetylene
FROM BIOMASS
sugar ethanol
starch sugar ethanol
cellulose and hemi-cellulose ethanol
ETHANOL PRODUCTION
• About 60% of global bioethanol production are obtained from sugar cane
and 40% from other crops
FEEDSTOKE
• North America : corn, wheat
• South America : sugar cane
• Europe : wheat, sugar beet, waste from the wine industry
From wheat
Fermentation conditions
Temperature - 32˚C and 35˚C
pH - 5.2.
 Ethanol is produced at 10-15% concentration and the solution is distilled to produce ethanol at
higher concentrations
From sugar cane
• Simplest of all the processes
• Cheap method
• From corn
The main producer - United States
• Wet milling
– The process of separating the corn kernel into starch, protein, germ and
fiber in an aqueous medium prior to fermentation.
– The primary products
• starch and starch-derived products (e.g. high fructose corn syrup and
ethanol)
• corn oil, corn gluten, etc..
• Dry milling
– The entire corn kernel is first ground into flour and the starch in the flour is
converted to ethanol via fermentation.
– Other than ethanol
• carbon dioxide - carbonated beverage industry
• distillers dried grain with solubles (DDGS) - animal feed
• Malting
– Steep the corn in water, start germination, stop germination at a particular
by drying to stop further growth.
FERMENTATION OF
SUGAR
+Invertase
Or Zymase 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
CELLULOSIC ETHANOL
• Ethanol made from cellulosic biomass which
comprises the stems and branches of most plants.
• The other feedstock to produce ethanol can also be
used as food so cellulosic ethanol is an alternative
feedstock.
• It is expensive compare to other method but as the
technology has developed the method has become
cheaper
CONVERSION OF CELLULOSE
AND HEMICELLULOSE TO
ETHANOL
• 4 steps
1. Pretreatment
2. Hydrolysis
3. Fermentation
4. Distillation of the product mixture to separate
ethanol
