Best Answer

Benzene or cyclohexane can be used in ethanol-water separation in order to allow distillation of ethanol past the azeotrope point (96.5% ethanol by volume). Of course the benzene (a known carcinogen) must be separated from the water before the water can be disposed.

Fuel grade ethanol is often separated from water using molecular sieves. In this kind of separation water is entrained in "beads" which absorb water but reject ethanol. These are eventually regenerated for reuse.

Does 316sst have better corrosion resistance than 304sst in di water?

Compared to 304 grade stainless steel, the 316 has higher strength, can withstand higher temperatures, and yes it can resist corrosion better. One factor is the molybdenum content in the 316 grade which gives it the overall corrosion resistant properties. The downside, 316 stainless steel grade is way more expensive than 304.

What is peritectic steel?

peritectic steels are ultra low carbon steels that fall into the phase change boundary, namely upper phase, that is it is directly influenced by alloying elements which can make this high tensile, high shrink steel difficult to cast for the automotive industry, great care has to be taken in mould powder choices, and also the cooling rate in terms of litres/Kilogramme. Using the Carbon equivalent to identify the peritectic chemistry is a bit hit and miss, hence the practicalities of making this product need much more study. It is problematic globally, indeed some producers cannot continuously cast this grade. Mould powder, secondary cooling and continuous unbending in the machine, all have to be optimised...expect disappointments!

What is the difference of absolute ethanol to the regular technical grade ethanol?

technical grade is bethween 96% and 98% ethanol and ethanol absolute means pure ethanol whithout water ('almost') 99.9% ethanol Absolute ethanol has no water whereas 96% ethanol has 4% water or 98% has 2% water. Thus, the reaction can occur with water.


Are there any non-ethanol gas stations in Missouri?

No. Even though a gas station does not sell E85 ethanol, it is still technically an ethanol station. All gasolines, no matter what grade, are 10% ethanol and 90% gasoline and are called E10.


What is used to make ethanol for fuel?

Fuel grade ethanol can be made by biological or chemical routes.For biologically based ethanol starches or sugars from plants are fermented under anaerobic conditions and the produced ethanol is distilled to the desirable level of purity.For the chemical process, light gases from petroleum is reacted to create ethane or ethylene and an OH- is substituted for one of the hydrogen's in the alkane or inserted into the double bond to make ethanol.
