Introduction of methanol product
Methanol or methyl alcohol, which is the simplest type of alcohol, is known by the chemical formula CH3OH.
Methanol is a light, volatile, colorless and flammable liquid. This substance is very toxic so that swallowing or inhaling it can cause blindness or death. Methanol is used in the production of many final products such as solvents, paints, plastics and antifreeze.
Also, methanol is used in a limited way as fuel in engines with internal combustion system. It should be mentioned that most of the methanol produced in the world is used to produce acetic acid and MTBE formaldehydes.
