dehydrationof alcohols
we can eliminate water from an alcohol to produce an alkene
use alcohol made from fermentation ofplants means they are sustainable
normally alkenes are sourcedfrom crude oil which is non renewable
alkenes mainlyusedto make polymers which can be usedto make plastics
reaction involves use of acidcatalyst either sulfuric acid H2504 or
hosphoric acid HzPoa

conducted via distillation
dehydration of alcohol produces an impureproduct
distillation can help to separate useful alkene fromimpuritie
separates chemical by boiling point
further separationand purification may be needed
