What is another solvent that can be used instead of ethanol why?
Dimethyfuran
• DMF has 40% greater energy density than ethanol.
• It is non-water soluble, meaning it can't absorb atmospheric
water and become contaminated.
• DMF is stable in storage and, in the evaporation stage of its
production, consumes one-third of the energy required to evaporate
a solution of ethanol produced by fermentation for biofuel
applications.
