Methanol Proanalis

Specification of Methanol Proanalis

Methanol is produced naturally by anaerobic metabolism by bacteria. The results of that process is the methanol vapor (in small quantities) in the air. After a few days, the methanol vapor would be oxidized with the help of sunlight into carbon dioxide and water.

Methanol burns in air forming carbon dioxide and water are as follows:

2 CH3OH + 3 O2 → 2 CO2 + 4 H2O
Fire from methanol is usually colorless. OLE
