    [13] [90] Once in systematic circulation, ethanol distributes throughout the body, diffusing passively and crossing all biological membranes including the blood-brain barrier. [2] [78] At equilibrium, ethanol is present in all body fluids and tissues in proportion to their water content. Ethanol does not bind to plasma proteins or other ...

    The dominant ethanol feedstock in warmer regions is sugarcane. [8] In temperate regions, corn or sugar beets are used. [8] [9] In the United States, the main feedstock for the production of ethanol is currently corn. [8] Approximately 2.8 gallons of ethanol are produced from one bushel of corn (0.42 liter per kilogram).

    Years ago, a teacher forced me to read Fernand Braudel's three volume history of the world. While most of the information contained in Braudel's amazing opus has, thankfully, managed to leak out ...

  6. 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.

    In the 1970s most industrial ethanol in the U.S. was made as a petrochemical, but in the 1980s the U.S. introduced subsidies for corn-based ethanol. [103] According to the Renewable Fuels Association, as of 30 October 2007, 131 grain ethanol bio-refineries in the U.S. have the capacity to produce 7 × 10 ^ 9 US gal (26,000,000 m 3) of ethanol ...
