About the Book

This book covers all facets involving the production and use of ethanol. Topics include the optimization of raw materials, energy, capital, process model-based computer control, and human resources to produce ethanol. It compares and contrasts processes to prepare ethanol using biotechnology processes to prepare ethanol from chemical synthesis. Matters of optimization of ethanol use as fuel/fuel components are addressed based on thermodynamics, kinetics, and usage. It also discusses pollutants produced from ethanol and mixtures containing ethanol, the status of ways to control these pollutants, and what can be done to minimize the harm to the earth’s ecosystems due to ethanol and gasoline reactions.

Table of Contents:
Introduction Yeast Biology and Bulk Manufacture of Ethanol Processes to prepare ethanol using biotechnology Yeast biology development Developing yeast strains to produce ethanol Nutrients and conditions Optimization of Ethanol Use as a Fuel Introduction to the basis of fuel use in the internal combustion engine Linkage of friction reduction to ethanol fuel use Thermodynamics of friction dependence on system variables Coupling of combustion reaction kinetics and thermodynamics Sample Calculation Considerations of piston expansion in regard to forces and friction Computer-based Optimization of the Ethanol Process Introduction Specifications for Control of the Ethanol Process Application of Computer-based Process Control to Ethanol Optimization Example Raw Material Resources to produce Ethanol Plant Raw Material Resources Biocatalyst Systems for Ethanol Manufacture Biocatalyst Systems and Processes to isolate and convert Starch and Lignocellulose Components Biocatalyst Systems for Isolation and Conversion of Starch and Cellulose Biocatalyst Systems to act on Lignocellulose and its components Ethanol Process Synthesis for Cost Analysis Cost Analysis for Optimal Ethanol Manufacture Cost Analysis objectives to improve ethanol prospects Cost analysis and Sources of Ethanol Cost of Ethanol produced using feedstock from corn wet milling facilities Cost of Ethanol produced using feedstock from corn dry milling facilities Cost of Ethanol produced using feedstock from lignocellulose sources Contrast in Costs to produce Ethanol from Feedstocks Process Optimization and Cost Reduction to reach Commercial Objectives Considerations for Minimization of Pollution Introduction to Pollution Considerations A Sequence of Historical Events that helped to popularize Ethanol Pollutants in ethanol manufacture and combustion Impurities in ethanol and gasoline, and in the products of their combustion Specific Actions on Pollution and Justification Ethanol Co-Products and Derived Products Introduction to Co-Products and derived Products Carbon Dioxide Products and Applications Ethanol Derived Products and Applications Petrochemicals as a Source of Ethanol Conclusions, Recommendations, Research, and Business Directions
