Przedstawiono światowy rynek produkcji etanolu, omówiono kierunki jego wykorzystania, surowce stosowane do jego otrzymywania oraz sposoby zagospodarowania produktów ubocznych, powstających przy jego wytwarzaniu. Wskazano, że produkcja spirytusu jest zdominowana przez Brazylię i USA, wytwarzające łącznie ok. 70% jego globalnej ilości, a dominującym kierunkiem (70%) użytkowania etanolu jest wykorzystywanie go jako dodatku do paliw. Głównym i uciążliwym produktem ubocznym, powstającym przy produkcji alkoholu etylowego metodą fermentacji jest wywar gorzelniczy, najczęściej zagospodarowywany jako pasza (USA) lub nawóz (Brazylia), a w mniejszej skali jest też poddawany beztlenowej biodegradacji (wywar melasowy w Indiach).

Hydrogen production through steam reforming of ethanol (SRE) over the Ca-modified Co/SBA-15 catalysts was studied herein to evaluate the catalytic activity, stability andthebehavior of coke deposition.The Ca-modified SBA-15 supports were prepared from the Ca(NO3)2•4H2O (10 wt%) which was incorporated to SBA-15 by incipient wetness impregnation (assigned as Ca/SBA-15) and direct hydrothermal (assigned as Ca-SBA-15) method. The active cobalt species from the Co(NO3)2•6H2O (10 wt%) was loaded to SiO2, SBA-15 and modified-SBA-15 supports with incipient wetness impregnation method to obtain the cobalt catalysts (named as Co/SiO2, Co/SBA-15, Co-Ca/SBA-15 and Co/Ca-SBA-15, respectively). The prepared catalysts were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), temperature programmed reduction (TPR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and BET.The catalytic performance of the SRE reaction was evaluated in a fixed-bed reactor.The results indicated that the Co/Ca-SBA-15 catalystwas preferential among these catalysts and the ethanol can be converted completely at 375 °C. The hydrogen yield (YH2) approached 4.76 at 500 °C and less coke deposited. Further, the long-term stabilitytest of this catalyst approached100h at 500 °C and did not deactivate.

This paper presents and discusses selected research results of the diesel engine fuelled with blends of: diesel oil (DO), synthetic ethanol (ET) as oxygenated additive and small quantity of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) used as emulsifier. Content of ethanol in diesel oil was changed in wide range (up to 50%). Addition of 5% by vol. Of FAME was constant for each tested mixture. Preliminary tests were focused on influence of fuels blends composition on its combustion process. The main analyzed parameter was mean indicated pressure and its unrepeatability index. Research suggests that diesel oil blended with up to 20% of ethanol can be successfully used for diesel engines feeding. Higher ethanol content in mixture with diesel oil is unfavourable because misfire phenomenon occurs immediately. In this case tested engine works unstable with extremely high toxic gases emission. Some physical properties of tested fuels, measurement system configuration, Values of mean indicated pressure vs. cycle number for AD3.152 engine fuelled with: pure diesel oil, ETIO, ET20, ET30, ET 40, ET50, Variations of unrepeatability index of mean indicated pressure in relationship to kind of tested fuels are presented In the paper. Research shows that tested engine is not possible to operate with using above 40% of ethanol content in diesel oil, as the fuel simply will not ignite.

Separation of ethanol from solutions with different concentrations in a BIOTRON bioreactor integrated with the direct contact membrane distillation system has been investigated. The experiments were carried out using immersed, capillary polypropylene membranes. The permeability of the membrane at the feed inlet temperatures of 308, 318 and 333K was determined. The permeate and ethanol flux was strongly affected by the vapour pressure which increased with the feed temperature and it was also associated with ethanol concentration in the feed. It was found that the membrane distillation can be successfully applied for the separation of volatile components such as ethanol.

The diluted ethanol solutions and fermentation broth (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) were separated by membrane distillation (MD). Hydrophobic macroporous (pore size 0.2 μm) capillary polypropylene membranes, Accurel PP V8/2 HF and Accurel PP S6/2, were used for these studies. The MD process can be successfully applied to remove the volatile components from the fermentation broth. Besides ethanol, propionic and acetic acids were moved from the broth to the distillate. Therefore, the course of the fermentation carried out in a membrane distillation bioreactor considerably accelerate its rate and increase the efficiency by a selective removal of fermentation products. It was found that the broth subjected to the separation did not affect the hydrophobic properties of the polypropylene membrane assembled in the MD modules.

Activated carbon-supported sulfided molybdenum catalysts were tested in transformation of ethanol to ethyl acetate. The catalytic activity of MoSx/C catalysts was found to depend strongly on preparation procedure. Surface atomic ratio of S/Mo on these catalysts was different and the catalyst with the ratio of S/Mo = 2.2 had better catalytic properties. For the purpose of enhancement of catalytic activity, the treatment of activated carbon support by HNO3 had been applied. Physicochemical characterization showed that the pretreatment was effective in obtaining a highly dispersed molybdenum species on the surface of the catalyst, which led to an in crease in conversion of ethanol.

Production of biofuels from vegetable oils, which would be able to meet restrictive standards in quality, is a complicated process. It results from building provision determinants to be met, as well as the method of process, which requires necessary equipment. While the production of ethyl esters is less harmful for operators than in case of methyl esters, so far for both alcohols there are many hazardous for them. One way of reduction inconvenience of the construction requirements for work with explosives is to put the installation on the mobile platform that will enable the creation of biofuels away from the urban areas. For the production of esters from rapeseed oils may be used methanol and ethanol. Depending on alcohol used, the resulting ester will have different properties. Presented material describes the requirements for the buildings where the production of esters can be made. A comparison of properties of methyl and ethyl esters, as well as a description of the transesterification process and the quality of test results obtained in the field esterification plant. The paper focuses on the renewable energy on the example of biodiesel. Esters, being an alternative to diesel oil, fall into two groups: methyl or ethyl fatty acids esters derived from oils, most often rapeseed oil. Biodiesel is available at petrol stations as 100% ester or mixture with diesel oil.

At the previous conference KONES’2004 emission characteristics of C.I. engine fuelled with either rape oil methyl ester (RME) or diesel fuel (DF) as a main fuel and ethanol as additional fuel were presented. Comparison of emission and brake fuel conversion efficiency (BFCF) of the engine fuelled with both main fuels showed that fuelling with RME and ethanol is more advantageous on account of both emission and efficiency than with DF and ethanol. In this paper combustion characteristics of the engine fuelled with RME and ethanol are presented and analysed. They enabled the insight into combustion processes of RME and ethanol resulting in better understanding influence of ethanol fraction in total fuel on emission and efficiency.

Investigation into possibility of fuelling of compression ignition (CI) engine, with an addition of ethanol, was carried out. Ethanol can be a suitable fuel for SI engines, but its application to CI engines requires an assisted ignition. In this work ethanol was injected into the inlet port and entered the engine cylinder mostly as a vapour. Diesel fuel remained a main fuel, but played the role of the ignition fuel. Investigation was carried out on one-cylinder, direct injection CI engine with modified inlet duct for injection of ethanol. The investigations showed that: 1) energy ratio of ethanol to diesel fuel up to 50% can be applied, 2) engine thermal efficiency increased, with the increasing load, 3) soot emission was decreased dramatically after even a small amount of the injected ethanol, 4) emission of greenhouse gas (CO2) was decreased with increasing amount of ethanol, 5) NOx emission was decreased for a small load, but for a high load it is kept at the same level if the engine is fuelled only with diesel fuel. Optimization of the energy ratio of both fuels and injection timing of diesel fuel is being carried out at present.

Over the next few decades the automotive industry will be faced with a number of challenging decisions as the world’s supply of oil reduces and the global population increases beyond 7 billion. These factors have driven some researchers to look at blending fossil fuels with alternatives such as crop-produced alcohols (or so-called biofuels). The currently reported study was concerned with the combustion characteristics of ethanol-isooctane blended fuels in a specially designed, single cylinder, spark ignition research engine equipped with full bore overhead optical access. The testing was undertaken using port fuel injection (PFI) and was focused on the behaviour of differing ethanol concentrations under varied internal exhaust gas re-circulation levels (IEGR). Simultaneous high speed imaging and in-cylinder pressure data analysis was used to understand the fundamental influence of varying ethanol content on turbulent flame propagation and subsequent mass burning. The resulting images were analysed looking at the speed of the advancing flame and the shape factor of the burning velocity. The initial evidence suggested that under the moderate speeds and loads tested, poor charge mixture preparation associated with ethanol was leading to fast but unstable burn rates. This could be avoided and combustion improved by using increased valve overlap settings, with the hot residuals entering the intake port aiding the full evaporation of the fuel.

The toxicity of benzene is not an issue of the past, especially in developing countries. Bone marrow toxicity is demonstrated among workers. In this study, the effect of simultaneous exposure to benzene and ethanol on benzene metabolism in mice was investigated by measuring the excretion of thioethers in urine. Urinary thioether excretion significantly decreased in the mice receiving both benzene and ethanol compared with the animals receiving benzene only. The assay of determining thioethers in urine samples in this study is a simple and low-cost method, thus suitable for routine use, especially in developing countries, not only for benzene,but also for other alkilating agents, which can be found during occupational exposure. Our results suggest that further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms of decreased urinary excretion of thioether after simultaneous exposure to benzene and ethanol.

Consecutive hydroconversion of acetic acid (AA) to ethanol was compared over monometallic and novel bimetallic (containing In as guest metal) catalysts on alumina and silica supports (inter alia highly ordered SBA-15) of different porosity and pore structure. The transformation was studied in a fixed bed, flow-through reactor in the temperature range of 220–380°C using hydrogen flow at 21 bar total pressure. AA hydroconversion activity of Cu and Pt catalysts and the yield of selectively produced alcohol were increased drastically by applying SBA-15 as highly ordered, mesoporous silica support instead of alumina. The most active nickel catalysts do not allow the selective addition of hydrogen to carbon-oxygen bonds independently of supports producing mainly CH4; however, indium doping can completely eliminate the hydrodecarbonylation activity as found in earlier studies. The textural properties of studied silica supports of various textures such as SBA-15, CAB-O-SIL, and Grace Sylobead have a profound impact on the catalytic performance of Ni and Ni2In particles.

Renewable resources, searching for alternative energy and its application in motor vehicles became particularly urgent now, when oilfields are approaching to their depletion and prices of hydrocarbon fuel are permanently growing. One of renewable energy sources is ethanol that may be produced upon the existing conditions in Lithuanian as well. Consuming alternative fuel in internal combustion engines of motor vehicles that are applied to use fuel made of fossil oil causes various technical problems. When pure alternative fuel is consuming, one meets into collision with expensive and complicated changes of structure of the engine and its control (fuel supplying) systems. Seeking for reduction of the above mentioned expenses and simplified exploitation, the usual fuel is partially replaced by the alternative one. The problem arises in using a supply system for introducing the fuel applied for extra supply of ethanol to the air, sucked into Diesel engines combustion chambers. The issues related have been discussed in the presented paper.

In this work the potential application of synchrotron radiation in the studies of reaction kinetics in aqueous phase were presented. After short introduction describing principles of technique and potential application of XAFS for the structural studies of reacting species, the experimental results of kinetic measurements of reaction between gold(III) chloride complex ions and ethanol were presented. Analyzing the changes of absorption intensity in the XANES spectra registered at Au-L &sub3; edge during the reaction, the change of the valence state of Au central atom (form 3+to 0) of reacting complex ion was determined. Moreover, empirical XANES data gave the chance to register the kinetic curve and to determine the rate constant of the studied reaction. It was found that reaction is relatively slow (second-order rate constant k = 3.66 · 10 &sup-5; M ;sup-1;s) and lead to the gold metallic phase formation in the system. Applying the continuous-flow method, within the first 600 ms of reaction the changes in XANES spectra were registered. From the obtained results, supported with numerical calculations, two intermediate forms of adducts appearing prior the electron transfer were suggested. It was concluded that when the classic methods, e.g. UV-Vis spectrophotometry, cannot be applied to studies of kinetics of reactions in aqueous solution, the XAFS technique can be a valuable and substitutive (or supplementary) tool for such measurements.

W pracy przedstawiono potencjalne możliwości zastosowania promieniowania synchrotronowego w badaniach nad kinetyka reakcji przebiegających w roztworach wodnych. We wstępie, omówiono podstawy techniki rentgenowskiej analizy struktury nadsubtelnej (XAFS) i jej możliwości zastosowania w badaniach strukturalnych związków chemicznych w fazie ciekłej. Zaprezentowano również dane eksperymentalne z pomiarów XAFS dotyczące kinetyki reakcji pomiędzy chlorkowymi kompleksami złota(III) i alkoholem etylowym. Z analizy zmian intensywności absorpcji widm XANES rejestrowanych przy krawędzi L &sub3; złota określono zmianę stopnia utlenienia atomu centralnego Au (z 3+ do 0) reagującego kompleksu. Ponadto, dane empiryczne pozwoliły na wyznaczenie krzywej kinetycznej oraz określenie drugorzędowej wartości stałej szybkości reakcji (k = 3.66 ·10 &sup-5; M &sup-1;s). W wyniku analizy widm XANES potwierdzono powstawanie faza metalicznej złota w układzie. Stosując metodę ciągłego przepływu reagentów, zarejestrowano zmiany w widmie XANES w ciągu 600 ms od rozpoczęcia reakcji.Na podstawie zarejestrowanych widm oraz przeprowadzonych obliczeń numerycznych zasugerowano dwie możliwe struktury adduktu tworzącego się przed właściwym transferem elektronu w reakcji redoks. Z przeprowadzonych eksperymentów wynika, ze w układach, w których nie jest możliwe stosowanie spektrofotometrii UV-Vis, metoda XAFS może być zastępczym i obiecującym narzędziem do badań kinetyki reakcji.

The paper deals with the problem scope of ethanol (as biologically decomposable compound) adding into petrol and diesel fuel on the final lubricity of motor fuels. It analyses the subject of tribology and automobile fuels in connection with modern technologies in construction of automobile engines. The mentioned properties and characteristics were measured by commonly used laboratory method on Plint TE 82 (PLINT & PARTNERS LTD). Measured data show, that diesel fuel with ethanol has better lubricity parameters and lubricity persists longer, than in case of petrol fuel with ethanol. One problem occurred, when diesel fuel was mixed with ethanol, which contained more then 0,5 % of water. This problem was solved by eliminating of the water from ethanol, eventually the suitable solubility additive is recommended.

This study proposes a method for the production of ethanol from wheat straw lignocellulose where the raw material is chemically processed before hydrolysis and fermentation. The usefulness of wheat straw delignification was evaluated with the use of a 4:1 mixture of 95% ethanol and 65% HNO3 (V). Chemically processed lignocellulose was subjected to enzymatic hydrolysis to produce reducing sugars, which were converted to ethanol in the process of alcoholic fermentation. Chemical processing damages the molecular structure of wheat straw, thus improving ethanol yield. The removal of lignin from straw improves fermentation by eliminating lignin’s negative influence on the growth and viability of yeast cells. Straw pretreatment facilitates enzymatic hydrolysis by increasing the content of reducing sugars and ethanol per g in comparison with untreated wheat straw.
