Ethanol fermentation and its chemical synthesis

Ethanol, also known as ethyl alcohol, is commonly produced through fermentation of sugars by yeast or by chemical processes such as hydration of ethylene. Ethanol is produced through fermentation of sugars, typically derived from crops such as corn, sugarcane, or wheat.
Ethanol can also be produced through chemical processes such as hydration of ethylene, where ethylene gas reacts with steam in the presence of a catalyst to form ethanol.

Proper handling and storage are essential to ensure safety.

Ethanol should be stored in containers made of materials compatible with its properties, such as stainless steel, glass, or certain types of plastic. Proper ventilation and fire safety measures should be in place due to ethanol's flammability.

Ethanol can also be produced through chemical processes such as hydration of ethylene, where ethylene gas reacts with steam in the presence of a catalyst to form ethanol.
Ethanol is commonly transported in bulk quantities via tanker trucks, railcars, or ships. Proper labeling, handling, and compliance with transportation regulations are essential to ensure safety during transit.
