1. One of the basic organic raw materials, used to manufacture a variety of organic products such as methyl chloride, methylamine and dimethyl sulfate. It is also a raw material for pesticides (insecticides, acaricides), medicines (sulfonamides, synmycin, etc.), and one of the raw materials for synthesizing dimethyl terephthalate, methyl methacrylate and methyl acrylate.
2. The main application area of methanol is the production of formaldehyde, which can be used to produce adhesives, mainly used in the wood processing industry, and secondly as a treatment agent for molding compounds, coatings, textiles and paper.
3. Another major use of methanol is the production of acetic acid. Acetic acid consumption accounts for about 7% of the global demand for methanol. It can be used to produce vinyl acetate, cellulose acetate and acetate esters, and its demand is closely related to the demand for coatings, adhesives and textiles.
4. Methanol can be used to make methyl formate, which can be used to produce formic acid, formamide and other fine chemical products. It can also be used as an insecticide, fungicide, fumigant, tobacco treatment agent and gasoline additive.
5. Methanol can be synthesized into dimethyl carbonate, which is an environmentally friendly product used in medicine, agriculture and special industries.
6. Methanol can be synthesized into ethylene glycol, which is one of the intermediate raw materials of petrochemicals and can be used to produce polyester and antifreeze.
7. Methanol can be used to make growth promoters. It can increase crop yields significantly, keep branches and leaves fresh, thriving and luxuriant, and will not wither in summer. It can greatly reduce irrigation water and is conducive to the growth of dryland crops.
8. Methanol can be synthesized into methanol protein. Methanol protein produced by microbial fermentation with methanol as raw material is called second-generation single-cell protein. Compared with natural protein, it has higher nutritional value and much higher crude protein content than fish meal and soybeans. It is rich in amino acids, minerals and vitamins and can replace fish meal, soybeans, bone meal, meat and skimmed milk powder.
9. Methanol is used as a cleaning and degreasing agent.
10. Used as an analytical reagent, such as a solvent, methylation reagent, and chromatographic analysis reagent. It is also used in organic synthesis.
11.Methanol is usually a better solvent than ethanol and can dissolve many inorganic salts. It can also be added to gasoline as an alternative fuel. Since the 1980s, methanol has been used to produce gasoline octane additives such as methyl tert-butyl ether, methanol gasoline, methanol fuel, and methanol protein, which has promoted the development of methanol production and market demand.
12.Methanol is not only an important chemical raw material, but also an energy source and vehicle fuel with excellent performance. Methanol reacts with isobutylene to obtain MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether), which is a high-octane unleaded gasoline additive and can also be used as a solvent. In addition, olefins and propylene can also be produced to solve the problem of resource shortage.
13.Methanol can be used to produce dimethyl ether. In addition to its wide range of uses in daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, coatings, etc., dimethyl ether also has the advantages of easy cleaning, high cetane number, good power performance, and less pollution. Fuel properties such as easy to pressurize into liquid and easy to store. A new type of liquid fuel prepared by methanol and dimethyl ether in a certain proportion is called alcohol ether fuel. Its combustion efficiency and thermal efficiency are higher than those of liquefied gas.
