When researching direct impacts on humans, I came across this NIH source (https://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search/a?dbs+hsdb%3A%40term+%40DOCNO+48) that really scared me. Butanol is really dangerous for humans to come in contact with at concentrations as low as 50ppm.]]> 2018-11-14 13:16:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_evans1/wpbxmsl2kbib/wish/304253376 haley_poquette https://padlet.com/ryan_evans1/wpbxmsl2kbib/wish/304255326 Ethanol is a competitive inhibitor for methanol.

Methanol poisoning can be treated by providing more ethanol and essentially "distracting" ADH till the methanol is excreted unmetabolized.

A "primary alcohol" with the formula CH₃CH₂CH₂OH. It is thought to have similar affect on the human body as ethanol, but with 2 - 4  times the potency. It is often used in medical inhalers called "nebulizers." It's high-octane properties would also make it a good addition to vehicle fuel, but it is a rare alcohol and expensive to synthesize, so it is not used.

The idea is to heat a mixture to a temperature where one liquid vaporizes while the other staying in liquid form. The vapor is passed through a cooling tube, which causes it to condense and be collected in a separate container. While not a perfect system to use with liquids that have rather similar boiling points, it is effecting for separating substances like alcohols from water.]]> 2018-11-17 17:57:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_evans1/wpbxmsl2kbib/wish/305569813 https://padlet.com/ryan_evans1/wpbxmsl2kbib/wish/305570007 How much of a role does elevation play in moonshine distillation and boiling point adjustment? The Ozarks are at only about 1000 feet, but Reno, Nevada, is at 4,500 feet.
