1. One of the basic organic raw materials, used in the manufacture of various organic products such as methyl chloride, methylamine and dimethyl sulfate. It is also one of the raw materials for pesticides (insecticides, acaricides), medicines (sulfonamides, hemycin, etc.), and one of the raw materials for the synthesis of dimethyl terephthalate, methyl methacrylate and methyl acrylate.

2. The main application area of ??methanol is to produce formaldehyde. Formaldehyde can be used to produce adhesives. It is mainly used in the wood processing industry, and secondly it is used as a treatment agent for molding materials, coatings, textiles and paper.

3. Another main use of methanol is to produce acetic acid. The consumption of acetic acid accounts for about 7% of global methanol demand. It can produce vinyl acetate, cellulose acetate, and acetate, and its demand is closely related to the needs of coatings, adhesives and textiles.

4. Methanol can be used to produce methyl formate. Methyl formate can be used to produce formic acid, formamide and other fine chemical products. It can also be used as pesticide, fungicide, fumigant, tobacco treatment agent and gasoline additive.

5. Methanol can also be used to produce methylamine. Methylamine is an important fatty amine. It uses liquid nitrogen and methanol as raw materials. It can be separated into monomethylamine, dimethylamine, and trimethylamine through processing. It is one of the basic chemical raw materials. .

6, can be synthesized into dimethyl carbonate, is an environmentally friendly product, used in medicine, agriculture and special industries.

7, can be synthesized into ethylene glycol, is one of the petrochemical intermediate raw materials, can be used to produce polyester and antifreeze.

8. Can be used to make growth promoters. It can increase the yield of crops in large quantities, keep the branches and leaves fresh and sturdy, and not wither in the summer. It can greatly reduce irrigation water and is beneficial to the growth of dryland crops.

9. Methanol protein can be synthesized. Methanol protein produced by microbial fermentation using methanol as raw material is called second-generation single-cell protein. Compared with natural protein, it has higher nutritional value and crude protein content is much higher than fishmeal and soybean. And rich in amino acids, minerals and vitamins, can replace fish meal, soybeans, bone meal, meat and skimmed milk meal.

10. Methanol is used as cleaning and degreasing agent. MOS grade is mainly used for discrete devices, medium and large scale integrated circuits, and BV-Ⅲ grade is mainly used for ultra large scale integrated circuit process technology.

11, used as analytical reagents, such as solvents, methylation reagents, chromatography reagents. Also used in organic synthesis.

12. Methanol is generally a better solvent than ethanol and can dissolve many inorganic salts. It can also be blended with gasoline as an alternative fuel. Since the 1980s, methanol has been used to produce gasoline octane additive methyl tert-butyl ether, methanol gasoline, methanol fuel, and methanol protein, which has promoted the development of methanol production and market demand.

13. Methanol is not only an important chemical raw material, but also an excellent energy source and vehicle fuel. The reaction of methanol with isobutylene yields MTBE (methyl tert-butyl ether), which is a high-octane lead-free gasoline additive and can also be used as a solvent. In addition, it can also produce olefins and propylene to solve the problem of resource shortage.

14. Methanol can be used to produce dimethyl ether. In addition to dimethyl ether, it has a wide range of uses in daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, dyes, and coatings. . Easily pressurized for liquid, easy storage and other fuel properties. A new liquid fuel prepared from methanol and dimethyl ether at a certain ratio is called alcohol ether fuel. Its combustion efficiency and thermal efficiency are higher than liquefied gas.
