The applications of Methyl alcohol
Methyl alcohol is a chemical with the formula CH3OH (often abbreviated MeOH). Methyl alcohol is a traditional denaturant for ethanol, thus giving the term "methylated spirit". Methyl alcohol is also used as a solvent, and as an antifreeze in pipelines and windshield washer fluid. In some w...

The toxicity of Methyl alcohol
Methyl alcohol has a high toxicity in humans. If ingested, for example, as little as 10 mL of pure Methyl alcohol can cause permanent blindness by destruction of the optic nerve, and 30 ml is potentially fatal, although a fatal dose is typically 100

The History of Methyl alcohol
Methyl alcohol is a chemical with the formula CH3OH (often abbreviated MeOH). In their embalming process, the ancient Egyptians used a mixture of substances, including methanol, which they obtained from the pyrolysis of wood. Pure methanol, however, was first isolated in 1661 by Robert Boyle, when ...

The toxicity of 1-Butanol
1-Butanol is readily absorbed through the intestinal tract and lungs, and also to some extent through the skin. It is metabolized completely in vertebrates in a manner similar to ethanol: alcohol dehydrogenase coverts 1-Butanol to butyraldehyde; this is then converted to butyric acid by aldehyde deh...
