Miscibility of Ethanol in Diesel Fuels

Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research, 2001
Whereas the use of ethanol in gasoline is widely practiced as a means to reduce vehicle exhaust emissions, similar use of ethanol in diesel is not widely accepted. Barriers to the use of ethanol in diesel fuel include limited miscibility at lower temperatures and need for minor variations in fuel delivery systems to account for the different physical ...

Survey of US fuel ethanol plants

Bioresource Technology, 2009
The ethanol industry is growing in response to increased consumer demands for fuel as well as the renewable fuel standard. Corn ethanol processing creates the following products: 1/3 ethanol, 1/3 distillers grains, and 1/3 carbon dioxide. As the production of ethanol increases so does the generation of its coproducts, and viable uses continually need ...

Ethanol?diesel fuel blends ?? a review

Bioresource Technology, 2005
Ethanol is an attractive alternative fuel because it is a renewable bio-based resource and it is oxygenated, thereby providing the potential to reduce particulate emissions in compression-ignition engines. In this review the properties and specifications of ethanol blended with diesel fuel are discussed.

Fuel ethanol after 25 years

Trends in Biotechnology, 1999
After 25 years, Brazil and North America are still the only two regions that produce large quantities of fuel ethanol, from sugar cane and maize, respectively. The efficiency of ethanol production has steadily increased and valuable co-products are produced, but only tax credits make fuel ethanol commercially viable because oil prices are at an all ...

Characteristics of Fuel Ethanol

2013
Characteristics of fuel ethanol are discussed in this chapter. Ethanol is more reactive than hydrocarbon fuels, such as gasoline. Its molecular structure shows a polar fraction due to the hydroxyl radical and a non polar fraction in its carbon chain. Ethanol can be dissolved in both gasoline (non polar) and in water (polar).

Energy balances for ethanol as a fuel

1983
To summarize what has been treated thus far, it is possible to say the following: an energy balance has meaning only when it clearly shows the quantity of available energy in relation to the non-renewable energy consumed; when ethanol is used as a fuel, it is necessary to point out how much energy as liquid fuel may be gained from non-liquid ...

Microbial contamination of fuel ethanol fermentations

Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2011
Microbial contamination is a pervasive problem in any ethanol fermentation system. These infections can at minimum affect the efficiency of the fermentation and at their worse lead to stuck fermentations causing plants to shut down for cleaning before beginning anew. These delays can result in costly loss of time as well as lead to an increased cost of
