Methanol, also known as methyl alcohol, is a colorless, flammable liquid used as fuel, solvent, and chemical feedstock. It’s produced from natural gas or biomass and is toxic if ingested or inhaled. Methanol is used in fuel cells, as asolvent , and in various industrial
processes. Handling requires strict safety measures due to its toxicity and flammability.
Production: Methanol is primarily produced through the catalytic conversion of synthesis gas
(syngas), which consists of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (C02), and hydrogen (H2). The most common method of production is via the catalytic steam reforming of natural gas, followed by the catalytic conversion of the resulting syngas over a catalyst , such as copper, zinc oxide, or alumina
