These include low-temperature ethanol ( Cohn ) fractionation, electrophoresis, ultracentrifugation and column chromatography on ion exchange celluloses.

In the US and some other countries, because of legal and tax restrictions on alcohol consumption, ethanol destined for other uses often contains additives that make it unpalatable ( such as denatonium benzoate ) or poisonous ( such as methanol ).

( However, the fermenting agent is a bacterium, Clostridium acetobutylicum, that feeds on cellulose, not sugars like the Saccharomyces yeast that produces ethanol.

Furthermore, ethanol directly reduces hyperactivity of the climbing fiber-Purknije cell synapse by acting on glutamatergic receptors.

There are also engines that run on hydrogen, methanol, ethanol, liquefied petroleum gas ( LPG ), biodiesel, wood gas, & charcoal gas.

The car features a modified engine, fuel system, and engine management system that enables the car to run on regular gas or ethanol, and in any mixture between these two fuels.

An expansion on his recent articles criticizing both reliance on oil and the potential for hydrogen energy, while highlighting the benefits of switching more toward methanol and ethanol.

Depending on the distillation method and the technique of the stillmaster, the final filtered and distilled vodka may have as much as 95-96 % ethanol.

* Biological systems-ORNL's initiative in complex biological systems draws on programs in bioenergy ( including the laboratory's new BioEnergy Science Center ( BESC ) dedicated to the study of cellulosic ethanol ), comparative genomics, structural biology, and computational biology and bioinformatics.

In November 1935, under Moniz's direction, surgeon Pedro Almeida Lima drilled a series of holes on either side of a woman's skull and injected ethanol to destroy small areas of subcortical white matter in the frontal lobes.

From the 2009 season onwards, cars run on E85 fuel consisting of 85 % ethanol, which while reaping the benefits of a fuel largely made from a renewable resource has seen a marked increase in fuel consumption.

Under the plan, ethanol is to be developed as a complement to the sugar industry, with the hope of alleviating Fiji's dependence on imported fossil fuels such as petrol.

Tilman and his colleagues estimate that prairie grass biofuels would yield 51 percent more energy per acre than ethanol from corn grown on fertile land.

There have been studies showing that ADH may have an influence on the dependence on ethanol metabolism in alcoholics.

Oil companies and automobile manufacturers, especially General Motors which owned the patent jointly filed by Kettering and Midgley, promoted the TEL additive as a superior alternative to ethanol or ethanol-blended fuels, on which they could make very little profit.

Bob also proposed the idea that the city and County of Hawaii pass a bill that would require 25 % of all vehicles on the island would be retrofitted to use ethanol by the year 1985.

Called " BioTown, USA ", the pilot project involved converting local vehicles to run on ethanol and biodiesel fuels and converting animal waste into electricity and natural gas.

The economy of Russell is based primarily on agriculture with wheat gluten and ethanol manufacturing facilities located in the local industrial park.

Production of ethanol resumed at the Fulton ethanol plant on June 21, 2010.

Opponents are concerned about air, water, and noise pollution ; environmental degradation of nearby food crops such as soy beans, corn, and alfalfa ; negative effects on the ethanol fuel market and competition with local ethanol producing farmers ; displacement of some local residents and population resettling ; potential industrial disasters including explosions, leaks, and spills, reminiscent of the recent explosion at a similar-capacity Texas City Oil Refinery that caused the deaths of 15 workers and injured over 100 ; contamination potential threats of terrorism ; and concerns of the sheer size of the facility, which will be over twice the area of Elk Point itself.

In the current corn-to-ethanol production model in the United States, considering the total energy consumed by farm equipment, cultivation, planting, fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides made from petroleum, irrigation systems, harvesting, transport of feedstock to processing plants, fermentation, distillation, drying, transport to fuel terminals and retail pumps, and lower ethanol fuel energy content, the net energy content value added and delivered to consumers is very small.

* Starting in 1901, the discovery of new oil fields in Texas causes the price of gasoline to drop to between 18 and 22 cents per US gallon by 1906, undercutting farm ethanol markets
