The prospect is still very considerable.
Because it is easy to use, transport and carry, less polluting to the environment when burning, and safer compared with liquid alcohol. As a solid fuel, widely used in the catering industry, tourism and field operations.
In recent years, there are a variety of methods to make industrial alcohol curing. The difference between these methods is mainly the selection of different curing agents. The main curing agents used are: calcium acetate, nitrocellulose, ethyl carboxyethyl cellulose, advanced fatty acids and so on. It can be ignited with a match when used, burns without soot, has a uniform flame temperature, and the temperature can reach about 600°C. It can be burned with a match when used, burns without soot, and has a uniform flame temperature. Every 250 g can burn for more than 1.5 hours.
Method:
(1) slowly add acetic acid to calcium carbonate until no longer produce bubbles until acetic acid and calcium carbonate reaction to produce calcium acetate, water, carbon dioxide
(2) will be made into a saturated solution by evaporation of the resulting solution
(3) in the solution, slowly add alcohol Note: at first the alcohol will be boiling, need to be slowly poured into the alcohol
(4) When the solution is cooled, solid alcohol can be obtained
(5) The solid alcohol will be placed in a tin can and ignited when used
