The Science of Ethanol
The Science of Ethanol by Walter E. Goldstein, published by CRC Press in 2017, is a comprehensive exploration of the production and utilization of ethanol. Spanning 274 pages, this edition delves into various aspects such as the optimization of raw materials, energy, and human resources necessary for ethanol production. It also examines the contrasting processes of producing ethanol through biotechnology and chemical synthesis, providing a detailed overview of the methodologies involved.
Readers will find an in-depth discussion on the optimization of ethanol as a fuel and its components, informed by principles of thermodynamics and kinetics. The book addresses the environmental implications of ethanol use, including the pollutants generated from ethanol and its mixtures, as well as strategies for controlling these pollutants. Additionally, it highlights the potential impacts on ecosystems resulting from interactions between ethanol and gasoline, making it a relevant resource for those interested in environmental conservation, energy, and the science behind biochemical processes.
Official synopsis Publisher
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.
