With the national lab's neutron scattering and simulation equipment, the team analyzed fermentation of the biofuel butanol, an energy-packed alcohol that also can be used as a solvent or chemical ...

The team also conducted experiments using an aqueous t-butanol (tertiary alcohol) solution to investigate the temperature and ...

This week, Sklar answers a looks at why butanol, with its high energy content, isn't more prevalent on the biofuel scene. Sklar responds that it is true that butanol's BTU content rivals that of ...
