Here in Paraguay absolute alcohol takes place to use in cars with structure modified mechanics, it is pure ethanol. That is here an advantage. then like you recommend to make ethoxid?, if it is with KOH, like you to extract 5% of water that it is generated with the reaction KOH + EtOH.. I will

It is not easy, due to the fact that ethoxide, can't be made by the combination of sodium or potassium hydroxide and ethanol, as one does with base plus methanol to form methoxide. It can be done however via alternative ways of making the ethoxide: K + EtOH --- K(+) (-)OEt + 1/2 H2
