About Absolute Ethanol

Also known as pure alcohol, ethyl alcohol, or simply alcohol, absolute ethanol is what makes drinks alcoholic. While this means that it is not exempt from excise tax, absolute ethanol is not intended for human consumption.

Ingesting absolute ethanol can cause the familiar feeling of inebriation. This includes headaches, nausea and vomiting. Absolute ethanol can also cause serious liver damage when ingested over a long period of time and can be fatal. It also depresses the central nervous system, and exposure can result in psychoactive effects.

As a highly flammable solvent, absolute ethanol should be stored away from combustible materials in a cool, dry area. It should also stay in its original container with the lid tightly closed. Pure ethanol irritates the eyes and skin and should be handled with caution.

 

Uses Of Ethanol

Absolute ethanol is used for analytical work in laboratories. In ultra-violet spectroscopy, for example, denatured ethanol or industrial methylated spirits are commonly used. Absolute ethanol is also used as a solvent, fuel and in thermometers.

In the 1800s, ethanol was used to fuel lamps in the USA. However, taxes levied on it during the Civil War led to the cessation of this use. In the early 1900s, these taxes were abolished and the first Model T Ford motor car was designed to run on ethanol until the Prohibition put an end to its use for this purpose.
