When we think about the storage shelf life of ethanol, we might first think about the shelf life of alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine. However, if you’re running a business or a laboratory, then you care more about the storage and shelf life of ethanol as a chemical solvent. In this article, we’ll […]
Ethanol is used as a co-solvent alongside other solvents such as larger alcohols like propanol, butanol, and even longer chain compounds such as dodecanol. By varying the composition of the solvent mixture, both the size of the nanoparticles produced, and the speed of the reaction can be controlled. Ethanol has at least one other important role in the production of MSNs. It is commonly used as a washing agent to remove unwanted molecules from the nanoparticles at the end of the production process.
Cannabinoid sciences have been one of the most thriving platforms, leading the world in providing therapeutic, and potential breakthrough treatments for patients and clients seeking revolution in disease treatment. Ethanol is the essential building block for all manufacturing facilities that produce small and large quantities of CBD as a drug product.
Spirt Extracts Spirit One of the many aliases of ethanol is spirit. Purportedly, in the early history of distillation, the “spirit” of the liquid was observed to leave the fermentation brew. The distillate – or spirit – could then be used by early chemists as an extraction solvent for botanicals. It was an early method […]
Ethanol production is currently limited by low efficiency and high energy processes with the dominant process also using agriculture products that require water, chemicals, and take away from the food supply. With droughts and flooding happening more regularly across the United States and the world, new approaches for ethanol production are of particular interest. Ethanol […]
What is Ethanol? Ethanol is a clear, colorless liquid with the chemical formula C2H6O, and is commonly referred to as alcohol, ethyl alcohol, and grain alcohol. Ethyl alcohol is a volatile and flammable liquid and has a wide variety of industrial and home applications due to its miscibility with water and other organic compounds. Most […]
What is Bird Flu? Bird flu is also referred to as the avian influenza and it is a disease that is caused by infection with the avian influenza A virus. These viruses are very contagious and spread naturally among wild aquatic birds globally and can often infect domestic poultry such as chickens. The bird flu […]

Ethanol Extraction Uses Ethanol As A Solvent To Soak The Hemp Plant In cannabis, hemp and CBD extraction, 190 proof and 200 proof food grade ethanol are mixed with the cannabis plant to quickly and efficiently extract and dissolve cannabinoids, chlorophyll and terpenes. Lab Alley Brand Food Grade Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) products are extremely pure, […]
A tincture is typically a botanical extract of plant material dissolved in ethanol, also know as grain alcohol. Food grade ethanol (200 proof, 190 proof or 140 proof) and organic alcohol are the best types of pure ethyl alcohol to use for herbal tinctures because they are safe for human consumption. Herbal tinctures are concentrated herbal extracts in liquid form made by soaking leaves, seeds, or flowers in ethanol.
