Methanol

Name:Methanol

 

Also as Methylol

 

Methanol is a colorless alcohol, hygroscopic and completely miscible with

water, but much lighter (specific gravity 0.8). It is a good solvent, but very

toxic and extremely flammable. This simple single carbon alcohol is a volatile

solvent and a light fuel.

Iron drum or tank

 

Storage:

Tanks for methanol are made of carbon steel. Outdoor storage is

preferred, with the following safety precautions: keep away from ignition

sources and excessive heat; wear goggles; rubber gloves; chemical cartridge

respirator; aprons and boots.

 

Usage:

Formaldehyde production is the largest market for methanol, followed by the

fast growing market for MTBE. It is also used to produce acetic acid, fuels,

solvents and methyle derivatives.
