Methanol (also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol) is an alcohol from the same family as ethanol. The material was originally obtained from the distillation of wood but is now typically produced from the methane which is found in natural gas.
It is commonly used as a solvent in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, paints, and coatings. Methanol serves as a vital ingredient in the production of formaldehyde, a key component in themanufacturing of plastics, resins,and adhesives. It is also utilized as a fuel source in certain vehicles, where it can be blended with gasoline or used as a standalone fuel in methanol-powered engines. Additionally,methanol finds application as a feedstock for the production of chemicals such as acetic acid,methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE),and dimethyl ether (DME). With its wide range of uses,methanol plays a crucial role in various sectors, supporting manufacturing processes, energy production,and chemical synthesis.
