While the current epidemic situation is getting worse and worse, disinfecting is a must to prevent disease. Regular disinfection leads to an increasing demand for hand sanitizer, which leads to a sale of goods that are not for sale but for use.
So we should buy another product to replace in the state of hand sanitizer out of stock. One of the nominated products is food alcohol. Can food alcohol bring antiseptic? QuangTrungChem will help you with the above questions.
Things to know about food alcohol
Before answering the question of food alcohol with antiseptic, is it okay? We will help you understand this product first.
What is food alcohol?
– Another name for food alcohol is Ethanol alcohol, ethyl alcohol,... The main ingredient of the product is Ethanol, which is supplied in the order of alcohol supply according to the steps from raw material selection, gelatinization - saccharification, Fermentation and finally, the tank and de/separation of water to obtain a completely pure alcohol free of impurities.
The chemical formula is C2H5OH. Ethanol is a liquid, transparent, infinitely soluble in water, easily flammable, when burned, the flame will be blue and no smoke will rise. Food alcohol, also known as ethyl alcohol, should have the aroma of alcohol and spicy taste.
What ethanol alcohols are being sold on the market?
– Food alcohol on the market has almost all models to meet the needs of users. It is 60-degree alcohol, 70-degree alcohol, 90-degree alcohol, etc., but the most commonly used types are 70-degree and 90-degree ethanol.
The application of food alcohol in life
- For human health: Alcohol is used as an antiseptic to help eliminate all disease-causing bacteria when using 70-degree alcohol, and 90-degree alcohol will help clean skin wounds without causing infection.
- For industry: Ethanol can be used as a solvent to dissolve other substances, with high bactericidal properties on food alcohol can preserve food, marinate food.
- For beauty: Alcohol helps to clean the skin, a preservative in lotions, the ingredients in the lotion will not be separated when using ethanol, but when we pull the hair with glue, it will help. glue stick to the hair.
the answer for the question: ‘Can food alcohol be antiseptic?'
With the main problem, can food alcohol be antiseptic? According to experts in the medical industry, it has been confirmed that food alcohol can disinfect to eliminate bacteria on human hands as well as consumer goods that are still commonly used in medical examination and treatment facilities.
In addition, the use of appropriate alcohol samples is essential because food alcohol, besides antiseptic, can also be harmful and threaten human health.
96 DEGREE FOOD ALCOHOL AND WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT FOOD ALCOHOL 96
96-degree food alcohol is no stranger to each of us, almost everyone has used it even once for different purposes. It is most commonly used in clinics or hospitals for topical use and sterilization of medical equipment. Does everyone know the production process to serve 96-degree alcohol? Quang Quang Trung Chem will provide detailed information so that you can clearly understand the order of distribution of this product.
To better understand 96-degree food alcohol, we need to know what alcohol and alcohol concentration are.
What is alcohol?
– a type of organic compound ethanol with the chemical formula C2H6O or C2H5OH
– the nature of alcohol is colorless, volatile, when burned with a blue flame.
What is alcohol concentration?
– 1 quantity showing pure alcohol content in 100ml of solution at a temperature of 20 degrees. 96 degree food alcohol is alcohol with 96 percent ethanol content in solution
What is Ethanol Alcohol?
Ethanol is an organic compound with the formula C2H5OH / CH3-CH2-OH / C2H6O. Names such as ethyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol or five-base alcohol are all other names for ethanol. Ethanol is very volatile. It has an aroma of alcohol, is flammable, colorless, lighter than water, and is infinitely soluble in water.
The uses of ethanol alcohol
Ethanol has many applications in many different industries in Binh Duong. The most prominent of which is applied in the medical industry. Pure ethanol is used to disinfect wounds, quickly disinfect and sterilize medical supplies.
96 degree ethanol manufacturing process in plant
To distribute alcohol, we can use very common ingredients such as rice, corn, sugarcane, etc., but corn and cassava are served as the most common alcohol.
Stage 1: Processing input materials
Raw materials must be cleaned and crushed before being distributed, releasing starches so that water can better penetrate the starches so that the gelatinization phase takes place faster.
Stage 2: Gelatinization
Gelatinization – can be made with acids and enzymes, but most food alcohols at 96 degrees now choose enzyme products.
Process 3: Fermentation
The use of the enzyme amylase helped convert soluble starches into simple sugars that could be fermentable. The products of fermentation are ethanol, CO2 and other intermediate products. Since fermentation is a heat-generating process, it is important to maintain a constant temperature
period 4: Breeding yeast
This is a period that only needs to be carried out at the very beginning, at the start of the plant, or at a very long shutdown, and the fermentation tanks are dry dismantled.
stage 5: fermentation technique
Continuous fermentation and intermittent fermentation are two common processes. To choose a suitable and effective fermentation process, it depends on the source of materials and technology provided
process 6: storage and de/separation of water
The water tank and separator and 2 steps are designed to form a factory that provides 96-degree food alcohol to save investment costs and save energy. After fermentation, the ethanol concentration is quite low and must be stored to remove the amount of water and impurities to get the desired product. Usually when the amount of water after the rejection phase of distillation is still there, it must be dewatered immediately so that the two periods of distillation and dewatering are adjacent to each other.
Stage 7: Storage and denaturation
Alcohol is flammable, so it should be stored according to established standards. 96-degree food alcohol is contained in items such as stainless steel appliances equipped with a system of turning the tank and collecting it relatively quickly so as not to reduce the concentration of alcohol.
Stage 8: Wastewater treatment
During the distribution period, a lot of organic matter is released, so the treatment technology has to go through many stages such as microbiological treatment, chemical treatment, physical chemistry and mechanics.
Use of ethanol alcohol to disinfect wounds
In the food industry, ethanol is applied to the supply of alcoholic beverages. Producing marinade spices, making medicine, chemical cosmetics. These manufacturing stages are all strictly controlled and use standard concentrations. They are also used as solvents and fuels for many other industries.
What to note when using ethanol alcohol?
When using ethanol, it is necessary to pay attention to ensure safety when using and storing. Do not let Ethanol get into eyes, nose or mouth, especially alcohol with high concentration. Store alcohol in a cool area minimizing direct heat sources. Watch out for cases of fire, explosion and burns caused by Ethanol alcohol. Because ethanol with a concentration of about 50 degrees or more is very flammable and easy to catch fire.
How to recognize Ethanol and Methanol alcohol?
Currently on the market there are two popular alcohols that are ethanol and methanol. Both lines are offered based on distillation and fermentation. Not only that, the methanol alcohol sample is a type of compound that is not good for human health. Even the compound is very toxic, cases of methanol poisoning have many dangerous manifestations.
Ethanol alcohol recognition
In the medical industry, only ethanol has the ability to disinfect, and methanol is not. The methanol industry is only used as a material, making samples of detergents and other industrial substances. It is normal to distinguish between ethanol and methanol based on the color of the flame. Methanol, when burned, has a light green color that is almost transparent in the sun. The flame of ethanol is yellow above green below. However, if ethanol is mixed with methanol, it is difficult to identify because the flame resembles ethanol. At this point, we can use the method of measuring the boiling temperature to identify.
