In recent years, although the methanol industry overcapacity situation is grim, but the domestic methanol plant investment fever continues unabated. 2010 industry production capacity 6.4 million tons, 8.14 million tons of new capacity in 2011, in 2012 China will have more than 5.5 million tons of new methanol plant commissioning. Methanol Industry Outlook Industry Institute research team believes that to digest excess capacity, should accelerate the expansion of the emerging field of methanol gasoline, methanol to olefins and so on. 

Methanol from coal extraction, especially low-grade high-sulfur coal is available and coke oven gas recovery from the system. Also available from biomass (such as trees, organic waste, etc.) extraction. Methanol production of China's chemical industry is a mature industry, the production process is simple, investment and production costs are low. 2012 China had 50.74 million tons of methanol production capacity, annual production of about 26.4 million tons, overcapacity in serious condition. Create an annual output of 600,000 tons of equipment investment of about 20 billion yuan, and its production process route based on domestic equipment fully and with independent intellectual property rights. 

Since 2002, China's methanol market is subject to strong downstream demand pull, methanol manufacturers have expansion and new construction, making a sharp increase in methanol production capacity, production increased significantly in recent years. 2010 China's methanol production capacity reached 37.57 million tons, production of 15.75 million tons, has become the world's largest methanol producer. 

Application 

The basic one organic material 1. Mainly used in the manufacture of formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl chloride, methylamine and dimethyl sulfate and other organic products. 

 

Molecular structure [2] 

One of two important chemical. Material. In recent years, with the development of chemical C1, methanol has become an important material for producing ethylene and propylene. 

3 used as a solvent for paints, varnish, shellac, inks, adhesives, dyes, alkaloids, cellulose acetate, cellulose nitrate, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral and the like. 

4 is the manufacture of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, plastics, synthetic fibers, and organic chemicals such as formaldehyde, methylamine, methyl chloride, dimethyl sulfate and other raw materials. The other is used as automotive antifreeze, metal surface cleaning agents and alcohol denaturing agents. 

5 is an important fuel, can be incorporated into gasoline as an alternative fuel. Since the 1980s, for the production of methanol, gasoline octane additive methyl tert-butyl ether, methanol, gasoline, methanol fuel and methanol protein and other products, which greatly promoted the development of methanol production and market needs; Methanol has been used as an F1 car fuel additives, is also widely used in the methanol fuel cell. 

6 reagents for the analysis, such as for solvent, methylation reagents, chromatography reagents. Also used in organic synthesis. 

7 methanol as cleaning degreaser, MOS level is mainly used for discrete devices, the LSI, BV-Ⅲ grade is mainly used for VLSI technology.In recent years, although the methanol industry overcapacity situation is grim, but the domestic methanol plant investment fever continues unabated. 2010 industry production capacity 6.4 million tons, 8.14 million tons of new capacity in 2011, in 2012 China will have more than 5.5 million tons of new methanol plant commissioning.
