Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol amongst other names, is a chemical 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. 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 consists of a methyl group linked to a polar hydroxyl group. With more than 20 million tons produced annually, it is used as a precursor to other commodity chemicals, including formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl tert-butyl ether, methyl benzoate, anisole, peroxy acids, as well as a host of more specialized chemicals.

Methanol to hydrocarbons, olefins, gasoline

Condensation of methanol to produce hydrocarbons and even aromatic systems is the basis of several technologies related to gas to liquids. These include methanol-to-hydrocarbons (MTH), methanol to gasoline (MTG), and methanol to olefins (MTO), and methanol to propylene (MTP). These conversions are catalyzed by zeolites as heterogeneous catalysts.

Methanol is the precursor to most simple methylamines, methyl halides, and methyl ethers. Methyl esters are produced from methanol, including the transesterification of fats and the production of biodiesel via transesterification.

Methanol is used as a solvent and as an antifreeze in pipelines and windshield washer fluid. Methanol was used as an automobile coolant antifreeze in the early 1900s.

In some wastewater treatment plants, a small amount of methanol is added to wastewater to provide a carbon food source for the denitrifying bacteria, which converts nitrates to nitrogen gas and reduces the nitrification of sensitive aquifers.

Methanol is used as a destaining agent in polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

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 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.

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.
