Method of Reducing the Content of Fuel Oils Activation of the Alcohol Liquid

During the primary distillation of fermented products, along with alcohol, a mass of harmful substances, including poisons: methanol, fuel oils, and other untreated compounds, is also distilled. The boiling point of alcohol is 78.4 °C, and in fermented products there are liquids that boil at lower (methanol, acetone, acetaldehyde, etc.) and at higher temperatures (amyl, propyl, isoamyl and other alcohols, furfural, acetyl). Many of them are poisonous and dangerous to humans. However, during the processing of fermented products with the separation of fractions, with the removal of the most toxic impurities in the final product, there are still quite a lot of harmful components called fuel oils. In a high-quality alcoholic liquid should contain as little fuel oils but should be kept harmless substances. The approximate content of fuel oils in some products (Table 1).
