The patient can suffer from chronic arthritis and develop tophi-big lumps of urate crystals-in cooler areas of the body such as the joints of the fingers.
Gas to methanol. Natural gas is the feedstock used in most of the worldâs production of methanol. Methanol is a primary liquid petrochemical made from renewable and nonrenewable fossil fuels containing carbon and hydrogen. Containing one carbon atom, methanol is the simplest alcohol. It is a colorless, tasteless liquid and is commonly known as âwood alcohol.â. Stranded gas can be monetized by producing chemical (or fuel grade) methanol and transporting it to the market.
Ethanol can also be produced from cellulosic biomass such as wheat straw, corn stalks (called stover), sawdust, rice hulls, paper pulp, wood chips, energy cane, sorghum, miscanthus grass and switchgrass, all of which contain cellulose and hemicellulose, which can be converted into sugars and then fermented into ethanol.thanol is an alternative fuel produced from starch contained in grains such as corn, grain sorghum, barley and sugarcane through a fermentation and distillation process that converts starch to sugar and then to alcohol (ethanol).
