Methanol liquid rocket

Table 3.3 gives the total uses of hydrogen. Ammonia production is by far the most important application, followed by methanol manufacture. Hydrogenations in petroleum refineries are an important use. Many other industries utilize hydrogen. Miscellaneous uses include hydrogenation of fats and oils in the food industry, reduction of the oxides of metals to the free metals, pure hydrogen chloride manufacture, and liquid hydrogen as rocket fuel. 

DIANP is a colorless liquid, which is soluble in acetone, methanol, dimethylformamide, DMSO, ethyl acetate, and benzene. It is not very soluble in water, ethanol, or butanol. DIANP is used in gun propellants and rocket propellants to reduce flame temperatures, toxic combustion products, smoke, and to increase performance without sacrificing bum rate. DIANP is an excellent substitute for nitroglycerine for gun propellants and rocket propellants. ... 

Hydrogen is used in many industries as a chemical raw material, especially in the production of fertilizer, but also in making dyes, drugs, and plastics. It is used in the treatment of oils and fats, as a fuel for welding, to make gasoline from coal, and to produce methanol. In its supercold liquid form, in combination with liquid oxygen, it is a powerful fuel for the Space Shuttle and other rockets.
