DESCRIPTION

Bioethanol is one of our options for alternative fuels if we are going to end our dependency on fossil fuels. There are several advantages of bioethanol that makes it use so common in bioethanol fires and more recently, in vehicles. Firstly, it is cheaper than most alternative fuels in the market right now due to government subsidies offered to the farmers that produce the raw materials and lower tax rates.

Four steps that usually go into a bioethanol production : Fermentation:

Fermentation is the most important part of the process and this is where the alcohol that can be combusted is produced. When the microbes go to work on the sugars in the starch and cellulose of the plant, ethanol is produced which is combustible and burns cleanly. Distillation:

The water from the previous process has to then be removed to make the ethanol usable and this means that it is distilled until it is about 95% pure ethanol with a little water remaining in the form of water ethanol zoetrope. This little bit of water left makes it unsuitable for mixing with petrol and therefore cannot be used as fuel in cars but can be used for other things like bio ethanol fi res.

Dehydration:

There are two ways in which the remaining water is removed from the mixture. One is through the use of a very fine sieve that works on a molecular level and can remove the water. This is the most used method but some facilities also use isotropic distillation which requires that hydrocarbon benzene be added to the mixture to not only remove the water but also denature the ethanol so it cannot be used for recreational drinking (often done for tax and duty purposes).

Denaturing:

In addition to land plants, bioethanol can also be obtained from algae and seaweed which produce bioethanol naturally. There are also plans for massive seaweed farms to be used for this just purpose and they should make bioethanol production cheaper and easier with less strain put on food supply which is affected at the moment.
