Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, is a colorless, flammable, and highly volatile liquid alcohol with the chemical formula CH3OH. It is the simplest alcohol, consisting of a methyl group (CH3) linked to a hydroxyl group (OH). Methanol is commonly used as a solvent, fuel, and antifreeze agent. It is also used in the production of formaldehyde and other chemicals, and as a feedstock for the production of other substances such as olefins and biodiesel. Methanol is toxic and can be fatal if ingested or inhaled in high concentrations.
Uses of Methanol
Solvent:
Methanol is used as a solvent in various industries, such as the production of pharmaceuticals, paints, and resins.
Fuel:
Methanol is used as an alternative fuel in some countries, especially in racing cars and other high-performance vehicles.
Formaldehyde production:
Methanol is the primary feedstock for the production of formaldehyde, which is used to make resins, plastics, and other chemicals.
Antifreeze:
Methanol is used as an antifreeze agent in automotive cooling systems and windshield washer fluid.
Biodiesel production:
Methanol is used as a catalyst in the production of biodiesel from vegetable oil or animal fats.
Chemical production:
Methanol is used as a building block for the production of other chemicals, such as acetic acid, formaldehyde, and methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE).
Sterilization:
Methanol is used as a sterilizing agent in medical and laboratory settings.
