Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, amongst other names, is a chemical and the simplest alcohol, with the formula CH3OH (a methyl group linked to a hydroxyl group, often abbreviated MeOH). It is a light, volatile, colourless, flammable liquid with a distinctive alcoholic odour similar to that of ethanol (potable alcohol). A polar solvent, methanol acquired the name wood alcohol because it was once produced chiefly by the destructive distillation of wood. Today, methanol is mainly produced industrially by hydrogenation of carbon monoxide.
Methanol is widely used, it's a basic organic chemical raw material and high-quality fuel.Mainly used in fine chemicals, plastics, and also other fields. It can be used to synthesis many organic products, such as formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl chloride, methyl ammonia, sulfuric acid dimethyl ester and so on, it is also one of the important raw materials for pesticides and medicines. It can be used as a new type of clean fuel after deep processing, usually also added to gasoline in combination.

1. It is one of the basic organic raw materials, which is used to manufacture a variety of organic products such as methyl chloride and dimethyl sulfate. It is also the raw material of pesticides (insecticides, acaricides) and medicine (sulfonamides, synomycin, etc.), and one of the raw materials for the synthesis of dimethyl terephthalate, methyl methacrylate and methyl acrylate.
2. The main application field of methanol is the production of formaldehyde, which can be used to produce adhesives, mainly used in wood processing industry, followed by processing agents for molding plastics, coatings, textiles and paper.
3. Another main use of methanol is to produce acetic acid. The consumption of acetic acid accounts for about 7% of the global demand for methanol. It can produce vinyl acetate, cellulose acetate and acetate. Its demand is closely related to the demand for coatings, adhesives and textiles.
4. Methanol can be used to produce methyl formate, which can be used to produce formic acid, formamide and other fine chemical products. It can also be used as insecticide, bactericide, fumigant, tobacco treatment agent and gasoline additive.
5. Methanol can also produce methylamine. Methylamine is an important fatty amine. It can be separated into methylamine, dimethylamine and trimethylamine by processing with liquid nitrogen and methanol as raw materials. It is one of the basic chemical raw materials.
6. It can be combined into dimethyl carbonate. It is an environmental protection product, which is used in medicine, agriculture and special industries.
7. It can be synthesized into ethylene glycol. It is one of the intermediate petrochemical raw materials and can be used to produce polyester and antifreeze.
Uses of Methanol (CH3OH)
It is used in polymers after getting converted to formaldehyde.
It is used to produce hydrocarbons.
It is used as a precursor for methyl ethers, methylamines, and methyl halides.
It is used as a fuel for internal combustion engines.
It is an excellent energy carrier.
It is used in wastewater plants.
It is used as a fuel in boating stoves and camping.
It is used as an antifreeze.
It is used in the synthesis of chemicals.
Pure methanol is used in the manufacture of perfumes, resins, and pharmaceuticals.
Uses of Methanol
Methanol is widely used in the production of acetic acid and formaldehyde.
In order to discourage the recreational consumption of ethanol, methanol is often added to it as a denaturant.
This compound is also used as an antifreeze (an additive that is used to lower the freezing point of a liquid) in many pipelines.
It is also used in sewage treatment plants since it serves as a carbon-based food source for denitrifying bacteria.
The polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) technique involves the use of methanol as a destaining agent.
A mixture of water and methanol is used in high-performance engines in order to increase power.
Methanol is used in the production of hydrocarbons, olefins, and some aromatic compounds.
It is also used in the production of methyl esters and methylamines.
