Activity Description
The process of producing bioethanol from corn stover and corn grains via ethanol fermentation involves steps such as saccharification, fermentation, distillation, and refining.
Process Description
Ethanol is an organic substance with the CAS number CAS:000064-17-5. Known as ethan-1-ol under IUPAC nomenclature, its molecular formula is C2H6O. It is a liquid under normal temperature and pressure conditions. At the consumer level, it can be used in the following products: fuels, coating products, antifreeze products, washing and cleaning products, biocides (e.g., disinfectants, pest control products), adhesives and sealants, inks and toners, and leather treatment products. In industrial settings, the substance is used in the production of goods within the following sectors: chemicals, machinery and vehicles, textiles, leather or fur, furniture, electrical, electronic and optical equipment, and metal products. When used as a fuel, its calorific value is 31. 58 MJ/kg, a non-fossil fuel derived from the fermentation of sugarcane, sugar beet (molasses), corn, grass, rye, potatoes, wood, whey, and sweet sorghum.
