METHANOL, [14C] - Introduction
METHANOL, also known as methanol, is a colorless, toxic liquid compound. The following is a description of the nature, use, manufacture and safety information of the METHANOL:
Nature:
1. Chemical formula: CH3OH
2. molecular weight: 32.04g/mol
3. Appearance: colorless liquid
4. melting point:-97.6 ℃
5. Boiling point: 64.7 ℃
6. Density: 0.7918 g/mL
7. Soluble in water and organic solvents
8. flammable, volatile, toxic
Use:
1. As a solvent: due to its good solubility, methanol is often used as an industrial solvent, which can dissolve many organic substances.
2. chemical synthesis: methanol can be used as a raw material for the synthesis of many other chemicals, such as formaldehyde, toluene, formic acid, etc.
3. Fuel: Methanol can be used as an alternative fuel in some cases, for example, as a raw material for automobile fuel or fuel cells.
Preparation Method:
Methanol is mainly produced by reacting a hydrated gas (a gas mixture containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide) with a homogeneous catalyst. This process is called the syngas process.
Safety Information:
1. Methanol is toxic. Ingestion or inhalation of methanol can cause serious harm to human health, even life-threatening.
2. exposure to high concentrations of methanol vapor or liquid may cause irritation of the eye and skin burns.
3. Wear personal protective equipment such as protective gloves, masks and goggles when handling methanol.
4. When using methanol in a confined space, ensure adequate ventilation to avoid excessive vapor concentration.
Please note that although METHANOL has some uses in some cases, due to its toxicity, it is necessary to pay attention to safety issues during use and operation, and use it with caution.
