On March 17, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Shaanxi Yanchang Group announced in Beijing that the world's first coal-based ethanol industrialization project with my country's independent intellectual property rights - Shaanxi Yanchang's 100,000-ton/year synthesis gas-to-ethanol industrial demonstration project has opened up the entire process , to produce qualified anhydrous ethanol, the device has been running smoothly for two months. This is another major breakthrough in the application of my country's new coal chemical industrialization technology, which is of great significance to ensuring my country's energy security, food security, clean utilization of coal and alleviating air pollution.
Ethanol (alcohol) is a premium clean fuel
Ethanol is alcohol. It can be blended with liquor and medical disinfection. In industry, it can be used not only as a solvent for varnishes, cosmetics, inks, and paint removers, but also as a raw material for the manufacture of pesticides, rubber, plastics, rayon, and detergents. In fact, the biggest use of ethanol is as a gasoline additive, and 66% of the world's ethanol is added to gasoline as fuel ethanol. Academician Liu Zhongmin, deputy director of the Dahua Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that gasoline added with ethanol increases the oxygen content, and the gasoline burns more fully. Significant reduction, comprehensive emissions reduced by more than 1/3.
