Couverture de l’ouvrage Ethanol

Ethanol: Science and Engineering reviews the most significant research findings in both ethanol production and utilization. The book's contents are divided into four parts, beginning with an explanation of the chemical reactions involved during the conversion of ethanol to more complex molecules. Other sections focus on various processes and their potential use, the modelling of various chemical processes, and finally, their economic and environmental impact. The book includes the most advanced production processes, new technologies, applications, and the economic role ethanol plays today. The book will be great for researchers and engineers in both academic and industry.

The idea of using ethanol as a fuel is one of the most promising options in the arena of alternative fuels because of it versatile use as an intermediate for producing hydrogen via reforming reactions, direct fuel cells feed and/or its production from biomass, which is also considered a sustainable feedstock.

Part 1: Science and Production1. Ethanol to chemicals: reactions, reactivities and application. An overview2. Ethanol from biomass3. Kinetics analysis of ethanol production processes4. Ethanol for food and transportation: a kind of competition?5. Bioethanol exploitation: future and perspectives

Part 2: Application and Innovation6. Catalysts for the ethanol reforming processes7. Steam reforming, preferential oxidation and autothermal reforming of ethanol for hydrogen production8. Ethanol as an internal combustion engine fuel9. Ethanol opportunities for electricity and hydrogen production in bioelectrochemical systems10. Direct ethanol fuel cells11. Crude bioethanol reforming processes: the advantages of a bio-source exploitation12. Ethanol in automotive applications

Part 3: Modelling and Technology13. State of the art on the conventional processes for ethanol production14. Hydrogen production technologies from ethanol15. Kinetic of the ethanol reforming16. Ethanol production in thermally coupled, fluidized bed, bubble column and membrane reactors17. Hydrogen production from ethanol reforming: a modeling approach18. Modeling and control of the output current of a direct ethanol fuel cell system19. Electrical Vehicles fueled by ethanol20. Ethanol for air transportation

Part 4: Environment and Economy21. Ethanol economy: environment, demand, and marketing22. Economic assessment of ethanol production23. Cost estimation of an integrated system for co-production of electricity and ethanol24. A technical and economic comparison of the bioethanol exploitation within agriculture and industry.

Chemists and chemical engineers researching catalytic phenomena in an academic/government/industrial research environment, materials scientists. The book is a key reference text for R&D managers in industry interested in the development of bioenergy technologies as well as academic researchers and postgraduate students.
