Anhydrous Ethyl Alcohol (Ethanol)

Anhydrous ethyl alcohol, also referred to as anhydrous ethanol, represents a pure form of ethanol (C2H5OH) completely devoid of water content. It comprises primarily carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) ed by the chemical formula C2H5OH, denoting two carbon atoms, six hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom, its nomenclature "anhydrous" distinctly indicates the absence of water within the substance. The production of ethanol involves fermenting sugars and starches from renewable plant-based resources, followed by fractional distillation, meticulous dehydration, and stringent quality assessment, all aimed at achieving the utmost standards of quality and purity.Anhydrous ethyl alcohol has a variety of applications in different industries due to its properties, which include being a good solvent, disinfectant, and fuel.

Industrial Applications:

Solvent: Used as a solvent in the manufacturing of rmaceuticals, cosmetics, perfumes, and various chemical products.

Chemical Reagent: Used in laboratories and chemical processes as a reactant or reagent.

Extraction: Used to extract compounds from natural sources, such as plant materials, for the production of herbal extracts, essential oils, and flavourings.

Â
