Introduction of methanol:
I. Basic information of methanol
Methanol, also known as wood essence, wood Alcohol, English name methanol or Methyl Alcohol, chemical molecular formula CH3-OH. Methanol is a colorless, transparent, flammable, volatile toxic liquid with a slight alcohol odor. Methanol boiling point is 64.5- 64.7 degrees, can dissolve in water, has a larger solubility in gasoline, its steam and air can form explosive mixture. Methanol is one of the important chemicals produced from syngas. It is not only an important chemical raw material, but also a kind of fuel. Combustion reaction formula :2CH3OH+3O2 ->2CO2+4H2O, methanol combustion smokeless, the flame is blue.
Ii. Classification of methanol
1. Methanol is generally divided into industrial methanol, fuel methanol and denatured methanol. At present, industrial methanol is the main methanol. All synthetic with coal, tar, natural gas, light oil, heavy oil and other raw materials, its quality index in line with the requirements of the national standard GB338-2004, are industrial methanol. With the development and utilization of renewable resources, methanol can be synthesized by gasification from crop straws, fast-growing trees, forest wastes and municipal organic wastes.
2. The anhydrous methanol that is purified by dehydration and used as fuel is called fuel methanol. Fuel methanol, which is not denaturated, is often cheaper than industrial methanol because it is only combustibles and water-free.
3. Denatured methanol refers to fuel methanol or industrial methanol with methanol denaturing agent. Since methanol is not miscible with gasoline and diesel, especially stratification (phase separation) occurs in low temperature and humid environment, which causes the engine to not work normally. Therefore, fuel methanol (or industrial methanol) can only be added to gasoline and diesel after denaturation. Denatured fuel methanol is specially used to prepare methanol for automobile methanol gasoline after adding a certain proportion of methanol gasoline additive to industrial methanol.
The above is the relevant information organized by fine chemical manufacturers for you. I hope it will be helpful to you.
