Thermodynamic analysis of ethanol/water system with the stoichiometric method
An analysis of the chemical equilibrium of ethanol/water system, using the stoichiometric method, has been performed. Intermediate compounds and coke formation are analyzed. Ethanol is completely converted to ethylene and/or acetaldehyde. Taking into account the equilibrium constant values of format...

An analysis of the chemical equilibrium of ethanol/water system, using the stoichiometric method, has been performed. Intermediate compounds and coke formation are analyzed. Ethanol is completely converted to ethylene and/or acetaldehyde.

Due to the relevance of carbon monoxide if hydrogen is used as feed of a PEM-type fuel cell, CO concentration in the equilibrium mixture was studied assuming two different scenarios: (a) CO as primary product and (b) CO2 as primary product. These two scenarios lead to suggest different routes for reaching the equilibrium. Thus, the results obtained in this work might help to interpret the experimental results far away from the equilibrium with the aim of elucidating the reaction mechanism.
