Traditionally Methanol is used in a variety of industrial applications. Methanol is primarily used as an industrial solvent for inks, resins, adhesives to wood items, and dyes. It is used as a solvent in the manufacture of cholesterol, streptomycin, vitamins, hormones, and other pharmaceuticals.ethanol is used to produce a variety of chemicals, including formaldehyde and acetic acid. Formaldehyde is added to adhesives used in the wood industry, such as plywood, particle board and laminates.
Commonly known as wood alcohol, methanol was originally produced by the distillation of wood feedstock. Technological breakthroughs in the 1920s, and again in the 1970s, changed the process of methanol production, which today primarily requires natural gas feedstock. Natural gas is processed through several steps, including the use of catalysts, pressure and high heat, until it eventually emerges as liquid methanol. (See References 3) As of 2011, natural gas is the cheapest methanol precursor, but other high-carbon feedstocks such as coal can be employed to create liquid methanol.
