Combustion of Methanol

2CH3OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 4H2O

Genel Bakış

Methanol burns in air with a nearly invisible pale blue flame, making methanol fires extremely dangerous because they are hard to see. This was a particular hazard in early Indianapolis 500 racing, where methanol-fueled cars sometimes caught fire without visible flames.

Günlük Örnek

Methanol is used as fuel in camping stoves, RC cars, and was the standard fuel for IndyCar racing until the switch to ethanol.

Endüstriyel Önemi

Methanol fuel cells are being developed for portable electronics and vehicles. Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) convert methanol to electricity without combustion.
