How much ethanol can be produced per ton of raw sugar ?
599200
One metric ton of sugar produces about 79.5 liters of alcohol.  It's not clear if this is harvested or dry weight, though.

You could make ethanol from grass clippings, though as others have pointed out you are more likely to end up with methanol. Not that this is a major problem, methanol is a perfectly effective fuel in its own right.\n\n\nThe real problem is one of efficiency. Grass clippings are very dispersed, in the sense that you can't harvest hundreds of tonnes of them every hour as you can with maize or cane. Because of that any ethanol production will be small scale, which is inherently inefficient. You would almost certainly end up using more fuel in the process than you would actually produce.\n\nRemember even cane or maize ethanol production doesn't actually produce fuel. We currently use more fossil fuels producing ethanol then the ethanol actually replaces. Ethanol is an economic and political exercise, it has no environmental benefits.

I live in Nebraska & of the several ethanol plants already in production, 13 more are going to be built in the next 2 years. Ethanol will begin using more corn than feed for animals.\n\nThe price keeps going up because of Federal guidelines regarding cleaner automotive gas.  MTBE was outlawed a few years ago & states must use cleaner alternatives in fuel or they lose their federal highway funding. It's known as Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether if I remember correctly and when it leaks from tanks one drop can contaminate 10,000 gallons of water and it's nearly impossible to clean up (my bro's a chemist).\n\nThe demand continually goes up for these alternative fuel additives which drives up the price.\n\nI can tell you that as of the last 3 months we haven't even had fuel at gas stations WITH ethanol. Ethanol gas here was usually 3 cents cheaper, but now it's all being exported, so we're building more plants to meet demand.

You are unable to buy one pound of sugar at wholesale. The quantity you would need to purchase would be much greater than that.\n\nFor true wholesale prices on raw sugar check out the commodity markets and sugar contracts.\n\nThat is a place to start.

Ethanol fuel is made from sugar cane. Brazil is now using 40% of\nethanol fuel to run their vehicles because Brazil is the  no. 1  producer of sugar cane in the world . Based on their reports, ethanol run cars have 25% more mileage compared to gasoline feed cars? Sugar cane production is less costly in Brazil compared to other countries.

Ethanol is being produced.  It just depends on which part of the country you live in, its largely produced in the N.E.\nEthanol has been in production since 1985 producing 175 million gallons, and now in 2005 producing 3,904 million gallons.  \nThe US produced 4,227 million gallons of Ethanol last year alone.

... what's the specific gravity of the mixture?\nSince the total volume is the sum of the two ingredients, there was no volume loss due to mixing. (Sometimes there is; water and ethanol are an example.) Then the total mass is 6*0.8 + 5 * 1 = 9.8 kg and the sp. gr. = 9.8/11 = 0.8909 kg/L.

The energy produced by burning Ethanol would be classified as chemical energy, if that is what you are asking.

You mean Ethanol. In the upper mid-west of USA it is corn (cool climate). In tropical(hot) climates it is sugar. Both require much heat (energy) to reduce or change the product into ethanol.

You would want to look for ethanol producers.  They ship the ethanol to refiners who mix it with gasoline to make E85.  Most ethanol producers are farmers or co-ops that aren't publicly traded.  For right now, your best bet at investing in an ethanol producer is PACIFIC ETHANOL INC (PEIX).

Pure dry Ethanol (Ethyl alcohol) boils at 78.5 degrees C.  This is a little higher than the typical 78.3 °C or 78.4 °C reported in many older texts.\n\nIf you are talking about a still, Ethanol forms a constant-boiling mixture, or azeotrope, with water that contains 95% ethanol and 5% water and that boils at 78.15°C

Depends on the technology used for conversion and how efficient the operation is managed.  However, in general 2.65 to 2.72 gallons of ethanol can be expected from each bushel of #2 yellow corn.  Other feedstocks have other conversion ratios

1 Gallon of Gasoline = 125,000 Btu \nThe energy value of a gallon of ethanol varies from 75,700 BTU 84,000 BTU depending on burning temperature.

First, distill off the alcohol. With ethanol, the best you can get is 95% purity, the remaining 5% is water. There are cheap zeolites and hygroscopic salts such as CaCl2 or NaOH available which can further reduce the amount of water. If you are still not happy, you can get absolute alcohols by using magnesium. And magnesium ribbons or turnings are relatively cheap, too. Place (50-100 g) magnesium in a flask, put some amount of alcohol just to cover the magnesium. Leave for a few hours until you see white magnesium alkoxide being formed on the surface of the metal. Caution: exothermic reaction. Use the tallest distillation column you can find. Do not stir the mixture. Just leave it there. When you have now a lot of magnesium alkoxide you can add more alcohol (up to 2 liters). The alkoxide will destroy any water in the alcohol and you now can distill off your absolute alcohols. For methanol and ethanol, formation of the alkoxide takes only a few hours. For other alcohols, you might need to activate the magnesium by adding some solid iodine and heating to activate the magnesium. Don't distill to dryness. The remaining alkoxide reacts violently with water. Use alcohol-water mixture when disposing them. Sounds fun, doesn't it? =)
