Methanol utilization
Thread Content
Let’s discuss what high-value products can be made from methanol; think creatively! I hope everyone will speak actively! Make sure your points are well-reasoned!
Methanol → Formaldehyde → Paraformaldehyde (by-product: dilute formaldehyde + ammonia → Urotropine)
Methanol → Dimethyl ether (DME) → Olefins (Methanol to Olefins, MTO)
Methanol → Dimethyl ether (DME) → Propylene (Methanol to Propylene, MTP) → Polypropylene
Methanol → Dimethyl ether (DME) → Gasoline (MTG) + Tetramethylbenzene
Alternatively, methanol and ammonia can be reacted to produce monomethylamine, dimethylamine, and trimethylamine. I hope this helps!
