Helo Pieter As we have done Phd work on the etanol form biomass via enymatic in 1980 from IIT Delhi , see earlier post in this list,we like to help in your effort towards making etanol form biomass.
Please kindly send details about your past experiments. Zeolite surely can be used to seprate the alcoihol by adsorcao. welcom for our social technology network sd Pannirselvam Brasiil On 5/7/05, Pieter Koole <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > I would like to give it another try to make ethanol from sawdust or other > cellulose materials. > In the past I have tried "Sawdust ethanol production" which I read somewhere > I think on JTF, but didn't succeed. > Well, IF I succeed this time, how can I now the % of ethanol and water ? > I have zeolite, so I should be able to dry the ethanol.
