addition, it has less ignition complications since the heat of vaporization of butanol is less than half of that of ethanol, hence an engine running on butanol is easier to start in cold weather than the one running on ethanol or methanol (Li et al., 2009).
Butanol is a four carbon alcohol classified in the same family with methanol (1-carbon), ethanol (2-carbon) and propanol (3-carbon). It is chiefly used as an industrial solvent in producing synthetic rubber, paint, detergents, lacquer, rayon, and brake fluids and as solvents for fat, waxes, and resins (http://www.butanol.com). Further it provides substantial environmental benefits like forming no greenhouse gases, no sulfur oxide or oxides of nitrogen when burned; reducing the necessity
