Book Description

Production of industrial alcohol is an age old practice. But with time, the usage areas as well as production techniques have gone through a major transformation. Industrial alcohol is distilled ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH), normally of high proof, produced and sold for other than beverage purposes. It is usually distributed in the form of pure ethyl alcohol, completely denatured alcohol, especially denatured alcohol and proprietary solvent blends. Ethyl Alcohol is the common name for the hydroxyl derivative of the hydrocarbon ethane .Industrial alcohol is distilled ethyl alcohol normally of high proof, produced and sold for other than beverage purposes. Industrial alcohol finds its applications in many chemical industries, pharmaceutical industries, Ink Industries and various allied applications. Much of this alcohol is obtained synthetically from ethylene. However, its production from microbial fermentation using variety of cheap sugary substrates is still commercially important. The various substrates used for ethanol production are sugar crops such as sugarcane, sugar beet, sorghum, etc. provide a good substrate. Bye product of these crop processing, e.g., molasses, sweet sorghum syrup, etc. are the most common substrates. Cereals like maize, wheat, rice etc are also used for ethanol production. Distillation of industrial alcohol, which is normally not used for consumption, can be made in a two step process. The process of distillation is one with a slow dynamics making it essential to have a carefully planned and designed control system. Ethyl alcohol or ethanol ranks second only to water as the most widely used solvent in chemical industry and as these industries have expanded, so the demand for industrial alcohol has increased. Some of the fundamentals of the book are base case production of alcohol, survey and natural alcohols manufacture, alcohol from wheat straw, alcohol from sacchariferous feed stocks, conventional process used in Indian distilleries, fermentation, distillation, continuous rectification and reflux ratio, alcohol recovery, quality of alcohol, steam economy, fuel oil separation, trihydric and polyhydric alcohols, coal gasification, methanol synthesis, coal gasification and raw gas purification, synthesis gas preparation, methanol synthesis and purification, badger conceptual design. This handbook on Industrial alcohol technology provides complete details on process and the technology used in the production of ethanol from various sugar crops and cereals and also briefs the different types of monohydric, trihydric and polyhydric alcohols. This handbook will be very helpful to its readers who are just beginners in this field and will also find useful for upcoming entrepreneurs, existing industries, technical institution, etc. TAGS Production of Alcohol, Manufacture of Alcohols, Ethyl Alcohol or Ethanol Production, Method for Production of Alcohol, Alcohol From Corn, Manufacturing of Alcohol, Alcohol Beverage Production, Ethanol Production, Fuel Ethanol Production, Alcohol Fuel Production from Grain, Fuel Ethanol Plants, Detergent Alcohols, Natural Detergent Alcohols, Production of Detergent Range Alcohols, Natural Alcohols Manufacture, Process for Producing Unsaturated Alcohols, Production of Unsaturated Alcohols, Ziegler Process, Alcohols, Higher Aliphatic, Synthetic Process, Production of Ethanol From Wheat Straw, Production of Bioethanol From Wheat Straw, Wheat Ethanol Production, Monohydric Alcohol, Preparation of Monohydric Alcohols, Polyhydric Alcohol, Production of Polyhydric Alcohols, Process for Producing Polyhydric Alcohol, Methanol from Coal, How to Produce Methanol From Coal, Coal to Methanol Process, Coal Based Methanol Production, Production of Methanol from Coal, Methanol Production, Methanol Production Plant, Ethanol Production From Maize, Production of Ethanol From Maize, Production of Motor Fuel Grade Alcohol, Waste Water Treatment, Industrial Fermentation and Alcohol, Fungal Amylase Production, Grain Production, Grain Processing, Lubricants and Petroleum, Agricultural Chemicals, Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals, Linalool, Behenyl Alcohol, Amyl Alcohols, Acyclic Higher Alcohols, Cyclopentanol, Cyclohexanol, Borneol, Cholesterol, Thenyl Alcohol, Hydroxymethylpyrrole, NPCS, Niir, Process Technology Books, Business Consultancy, Business Consultant, Project Identification and Selection, Preparation of Project Profiles, Startup, Business Guidance, Business Guidance to Clients, Startup Project, Startup Ideas, Project for Startups, Startup Project Plan, Business Start-Up, Business Plan for Startup Business, Great Opportunity for Startup, Small Start-Up Business Project, Best Small and Cottage Scale Industries, Startup India, Stand Up India, Small Scale Industries, New Small Scale Ideas for Alcohol Processing Industry, Methanol Production Business Ideas You Can Start on Your Own, Industrial Alcohol Production Industry, Small Scale Alcohol Processing, Guide to Starting and Operating Small Business, Business Ideas for Alcohol from Maize Production, How to Start Industrial Alcohol Manufacturing Business, Starting Industrial Alcohol Production, Start Your Own Industrial Alcohol Production Business, Industrial Alcohol Production Business Plan, Business Plan for Industrial Alcohol, Small Scale Industries in India, Industrial Alcohol Based Small Business Ideas in India, Small Scale Industry You Can Start on Your Own, Business Plan For Small Scale Industries, Set Up Industrial Alcohol, Profitable Small Scale Manufacturing, How to Start Small Business in India, Free Manufacturing Business Plans, Small and Medium Scale Manufacturing, Profitable Small Business Industries Ideas, Business Ideas for Startup
