The document describes the process of producing ethyl alcohol from molasses through fermentation. [1] Molasses contains around 50% sugar and is diluted to a 10% sugar solution before fermentation. [2] The fermentation process involves adding yeast to the sugar solution, heating it to 40-50°C, and allowing cultivation for 2-3 days, during which the yeast produces enzymes that convert sugar to ethanol and carbon dioxide. [3] The fermented liquid, called "wash", contains 8-10% ethanol, which is then purified through fractional distillation to produce 95.6% alcohol, and further dehydration to produce 99.8% absolute alcohol.
