Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, is a clear and colorless liquid that can serve as an alternative fuel to non-renewable energy sources. More than 97% of gasoline in the US contains ethanol, usually in three different mixtures called E10 (10% ethanol and 90% gasoline),...
Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to purify a solution of ethanol and water by distillation using different boiling points of ethanol and water. Distillation is a commonly used method for purifying liquids and separating mixtures of liquids into their individual components. Distillation exploits...
SUMMARY A packed column distillation process experiment was conducted with the goal of to operate vapor – liquid separation process using a packed column distillation unit, to analyze the effect of reflux ratio on separation of ethanol and water system and to determine the number...
Over the last couple of decades, fossil fuels are being replaces by renewable energy sources. One of these renewable energy sources is ethanol. Ethanol is also known as ethyl alcohol or grain alcohol, a clear, colorless liquid. It can be created through the fermentation of...
