[Chemical Knowledge]:Properties and Uses of Methanol and Downstream

The nature and use
of methanol and its downstream products in the field of chemical production raw materials
1. Introduction

Methanol is an important organic chemical raw material, widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, food and other industrial fields. With the continuous development of science and technology, the downstream products of methanol are also increasing, and its application fields are expanding. This paper will detail the properties and uses of methanol and its downstream products.

2. the nature and use of methanol

1. nature

methanol is a colorless, transparent, flammable, toxic liquid, with alcohol flavor. Its molecular formula is CH3OH, which is a simple alcohol compound. Methanol has strong hydrophilicity and can be miscible with water in any proportion. In addition, methanol has good solubility and can dissolve many organic and inorganic substances.

2. use

methanol has a wide range of uses in the chemical industry, mainly used in the production of formaldehyde, acetic acid, methylamine, dimethyl ether and other downstream products. In addition, methanol can also be used as a solvent, a fuel, a refrigerant, etc.

3. the nature and use of methanol downstream products

1. Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is a colorless, irritating gas with strong reducibility and corrosiveness. Formaldehyde is mainly used in the production of phenolic resin, urea-formaldehyde resin and other adhesives, can also be used in the production of vinylon fiber, dyes, drugs and so on.

2. acetic acid

acetic acid is a colorless, pungent odor liquid, corrosive. Acetic acid is mainly used in the production of acetate fiber, acetate and other chemical products, can also be used in the production of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes and so on.

3. methylamine

methylamine is a colorless, pungent odor liquid, alkaline. Methylamine is mainly used in the production of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes, etc., can also be used in the production of rubber accelerators and preservatives.

4. Dimethyl Ether

Dimethyl ether is a colorless, flammable, toxic gas with a slight ether fragrance. Dimethyl ether can be used as a new type of clean energy, instead of liquefied petroleum gas and other fuels, can also be used in the production of solvents, refrigerants and so on.

4. conclusion

methanol as an important organic chemical raw material, has a wide range of applications in the field of chemical production raw materials. Its downstream products such as formaldehyde, acetic acid, methylamine, dimethyl ether, etc. also have a wide range of uses. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the application field of methanol and its downstream products will continue to expand.
