Methanol is a liquid chemical with the formula CH3OH (often abbreviated MeOH). It is colorless, volatile, flammable, and poisonous. Methanol is made from the destructive distillation of wood and is chiefly synthesized from carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Its principal uses are in organic synthesis, as a fuel, solvent, and antifreeze.

Methanol is a polar liquid at room temperature. It is used as antifreeze, solvent, fuel, and as denaturant for ethanol. The chemical is also used to produce biodiesel via a transesterification reaction.
Because methanol has toxic properties, it is frequently used as a denaturant additive for ethanol manufactured for industrial purposes. Methanol is frequently called wood alcohol because it was once produced primarily as a byproduct of the destructive distillation of wood.
Today, three methods are commonly used to produce synthesis gas from the methane component in natural gas. The methods are steam-methane or SMR, which is endothermic, partial oxidation with molecular oxygen, which is exothermic, and the combination of the two, which is referred to as autothermal reforming.
Other applications
Methanol is a traditional denaturant for ethanol, thus giving the term “methylated spirit.”
Methanol is also used as a solvent, and as an antifreeze in pipelines and windshield washer fluid.
In some wastewater treatment plants, a small amount of methanol is added to wastewater to provide a food source of carbon for the denitrifying bacteria, which convert nitrates to nitrogen to reduce the denitrification of sensitive aquifers.
Application
It is a good middle boiling point solvent. The main applications:
(1) paint solvent; ink solvent; plexiglass solvent; photographic developing agent; PVC stabilizer; medicine, synthetic resin solvent; ointment or liquid medicine; solvent for meat products stamp-pad ink and ball-point pen oil.
(2) carpet degreaser; crater cleaning agent; silicone solvent stabilizer; benzyl ester or ether intermediate.
(3) It is a kind of very useful perfume fixative. It is an indispensable spice when jasmine, tuberose or ylang is mixed, and used to compound soap and daily cosmetics.
Methanol is widely used, it's a basic organic chemical raw material and high-quality fuel.Mainly used in fine chemicals, plastics, and also other fields. It can be used to synthesis many organic products, such as formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl chloride, methyl ammonia, sulfuric acid dimethyl ester and so on, it is also one of the important raw materials for pesticides and medicines. It can be used as a new type of clean fuel after deep processing, usually also added to gasoline in combination.
