  2. Acetone–butanol–ethanol fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetonebutanolethanol...

    Acetonebutanolethanol (ABE) fermentation, also known as the Weizmann process, is a process that uses bacterial fermentation to produce acetone, n-butanol, and ethanol from carbohydrates such as starch and glucose. It was developed by chemist Chaim Weizmann and was the primary process used to produce acetone, which was needed to make ...

  3. Solventogenesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solventogenesis

    Acetone, butanol, and ethanol are the most common products of solventogenesis. Some species such as Clostridium beijerinckii, Clostridium puniceum and Clostridium roseum are able to further reduce acetone to isopropanol. Several species are able to produce additional solvents under various culture conditions.

  4. Clostridium acetobutylicum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clostridium_acetobutylicum

    The method has been described since as the ABE process, (Acetone Butanol Ethanol fermentation process), yielding 3 parts of acetone, 6 of n-butanol, and 1 of ethanol. Acetone was used in the important wartime task of casting cordite. The alcohols were used to produce vehicle fuels and synthetic rubber.

  5. Fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermentation

    In ethanol fermentation, one glucose molecule is converted into two ethanol molecules and two carbon dioxide (CO 2) molecules. [10] [11] It is used to make bread dough rise: the carbon dioxide forms bubbles, expanding the dough into a foam. [12] [13] The ethanol is the intoxicating agent in alcoholic beverages such as wine, beer and liquor. [14]

  6. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    ethanol, mainly for alcoholic beverages, fuel additive, solvent, and to sterilize hospital instruments. [26] 1-propanol, 1-butanol, and isobutyl alcohol for use as a solvent and precursor to solvents; C6–C11 alcohols used for plasticizers, e.g. in polyvinylchloride; fatty alcohol (C12–C18), precursors to detergents

  7. Ethanol fermentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol_fermentation

    Ethanol fermentation, also called alcoholic fermentation, is a biological process which converts sugars such as glucose, fructose, and sucrose into cellular energy, producing ethanol and carbon dioxide as by-products.

  9. Bioconversion of biomass to mixed alcohol fuels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioconversion_of_biomass...

    The more popular methods for production of ethanol and cellulosic ethanol use enzymes that must be isolated first to be added to the biomass and thus convert the starch or cellulose into simple sugars, followed then by yeast fermentation into ethanol. This process does not need the addition of such enzymes as these microorganisms make their own ...
