The simplest monohydric alcohol combines the properties of a very weak base and an even weaker acid.
Reacts with alkali metals with the evolution of hydrogen, forming methylates. (eg CH³ONa) in reaction with acids, esters are formed. There are several known methods for producing methanol: Dry distillation, wood and lignin, thermal decomposition of formic acid salts, synthesis from methane through methyl chloride followed by saponification, incomplete oxidation of methane and production from synthesis gas.
Methanol is transported in special rail tank cars, tank cars, steel drums with a capacity of 200 m³, plastic containers or metal barrels with an outer box made of wooden boards and glass 20 liter bottles in accordance with the rules for the carriage of goods.
The product is stored in sealed containers, in shaded, ventilated warehouses, away from heat sources, sparks, direct sunlight, separately from oxidizers.
