Absolute ethanol:

مقدمه

Absolute ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, is one of the most important chemical compounds in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It is known by the chemical formula C₂H₅OH and is used as a solvent, fuel, and raw material in various products. Fanavaran Arvand Company has taken important steps in this field with the aim of producing high-quality absolute ethanol in accordance with international standards.

History and production of absolute ethanol

History

Ethanol has been known since ancient times and is produced in natural fermentation processes. With scientific and industrial advances, ethanol production methods have improved and today it is produced from various sources such as sugar cane and beets. In the past, ethanol was mainly obtained through the fermentation of fruits and cereals, but today industrial and mechanized processes have facilitated this production.

Production process in Arvand Technology Company

Arvand Technology Company produces absolute ethanol with the highest quality using advanced technologies and modern equipment. The production process of this company includes the following steps:

1. Nutrition raw materials:
   • Raw materials including sugar cane and other sugar sources are transported to the factory. The selection of high quality raw materials has a direct effect on the final quality of ethanol.
2. Fermentation:
   • At this stage, the sugars in the raw materials are converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide under the influence of yeasts. This process is usually carried out at controlled temperature and conditions to achieve high yields.
3. Distillation:
   • After fermentation, the resulting liquid is distilled. In this step, ethanol is separated from water and other compounds. The use of advanced distillation towers increases the purity of ethanol.
4. Refinement:
   • The obtained ethanol is refined to remove impurities and improve the final quality. This stage includes the use of filters and chemical methods.
5. Storage and distribution:
   • After purification, absolute ethanol is placed in alcohol tanks and is ready to be distributed to domestic and international markets.

Properties of absolute ethanol

Absolute ethanol has special chemical and physical properties that make it suitable for various applications:

• High solubility: Ethanol is known as an excellent solvent in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. This characteristic makes ethanol to be used in the production of chemical and pharmaceutical compounds.
• Non-toxicity: Absolute ethanol is non-toxic and safer compared to many other chemical solvents. This feature has made ethanol widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
• Flammability: Ethanol is easily flammable and should be stored and used with caution. This feature allows it to be used as a fuel in internal combustion engines.
• پایداری شیمیایی: اتانول در شرایط عادی پایدار است و به راحتی تجزیه نمی‌شود. این ویژگی باعث می‌شود که اتانول به عنوان ماده اولیه در تولید ترکیبات شیمیایی متعدد مورد استفاده قرار گیرد.

Applications of absolute ethanol

Absolute ethanol has many uses in different industries:

1. Pharmaceutical industry

Ethanol is used as a solvent in the production of drugs and pharmaceutical formulations. This material is also used in the production of disinfectants, perfumes and health products. Due to its disinfectant properties, ethanol is also used in the production of hand and surface disinfectant products.

2. Food industry

This material is used as an authorized additive in the food industry. Ethanol is used in the production process of flavors, essential oils and alcoholic beverages. Also, ethanol is used in the production of edible alcohol, which acts as a preservative.

3. صنایع شیمیایی

Ethanol is used as a solvent in the production of paints, varnishes and resins. It is also used as a raw material in chemical processes. This material is used in the production of various types of chemical compounds such as esters and ethers.

4. Fuel

Ethanol is used as biofuel (bioethanol) for cars and machinery. This type of fuel helps reduce air pollution and is known as a renewable energy source. Using ethanol as a fuel can help reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

Advantages of using absolute ethanol

Using absolute ethanol as a chemical and fuel has the following advantages:

• Reducing environmental pollution: Ethanol as a clean fuel can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Using ethanol in cars reduces air pollutants.
• Renewable: Ethanol is produced from plant sources and therefore it is considered as a renewable energy source. This feature makes ethanol known as a sustainable option in energy production.
• Safety: Using ethanol as a solvent in many industries is safer than traditional chemical solvents. This feature makes the use of ethanol in food and pharmaceutical products to be considered.

Challenges and the future of absolute ethanol

Despite the many advantages that absolute ethanol has, there are also challenges that need to be addressed. One of the main challenges is the sustainable supply of raw materials for ethanol production. Also, there is a need for more investments in research and development to improve production processes and increase efficiency.

The future of absolute ethanol

Due to the growing trend of using biofuels and safe chemicals, absolute ethanol is known as a suitable option to meet the industrial and energy needs of the country. It is expected that the demand for this substance will increase in the future as public awareness about the environmental benefits of ethanol increases.
