Beschreibung:
Ethanol: Science and Engineering reviews the most significant research findings in both ethanol production and utilization. The book's contents are divided into four parts, beginning with an explanation of the chemical reactions involved during the conversion of ethanol to more complex molecules. Other sections focus on various processes and their potential use, the modelling of various chemical processes, and finally, their economic and environmental impact. The book includes the most advanced production processes, new technologies, applications, and the economic role ethanol plays today. The book will be great for researchers and engineers in both academic and industry.
Part 1: Science and Production 1. Ethanol to chemicals: reactions, reactivities and application. An overview 2. Ethanol from biomass 3. Kinetics analysis of ethanol production processes 4. Ethanol for food and transportation: a kind of competition? 5. Bioethanol exploitation: future and perspectives
