With the national lab's neutron scattering and simulation equipment, the team analyzed fermentation of the biofuel butanol, ...

The team used ORNL’s neutron scattering capabilities and molecular dynamics simulations to analyze the fermentation process producing butanol, an energy-packed alcohol that can be used as a biofuel, ...

Tech Explore highlighted a research collaboration between the University of Cincinnati and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory exploring how alcohol ...

However, the solubility decreases as the length of the alcohol molecule gets longer, so butanol is less soluble than propanol. It may not mix easily, and two distinct layers might be left in the ...
