| Description | Methane is widely distributed in nature, Methane is the simplest organic compounds, is the main component of natural gas, biogas, gas and other pit, commonly known as gas. Carbon content is minimal (maximum hydrogen content) of hydrocarbon, is the main component of natural gas, biogas, oil gas and coal gas tunnel. It can be used as fuel and produce hydrogen, carbon black, carbon monoxide, acetylene, hydrogen cyanide and formaldehyde and other raw materials. |
| Usage | Methane is a very important fuel, is the main component of natural gas, accounting for about 87%. Except as fuel, is used extensively for ammonia, urea, and carbon black, can also be used to produce methanol, hydrogen, acetylene, ethylene, formaldehyde, carbon disulfide, nitromethane, hydrocyanic acid and 1,4-butanediol. Methane chloride can get one, two, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. |
| Precautions | Easy asphyxiating, easy to heat the risk of explosion. |
| By Industry | Pharmaceutical chemicals, gas appliances |
