Methanol supply

To see the effects of methanol supplying method, methanol was supplied through the gas phase from the back (platinum) side of the SPE. When methanol is supplied through gas phase, methanol dissolves into Nafion and diffuses to the solution side eventually. Therefore, the measurements were conducted quickly after the supplying of methanol began. 

The amount of methanol supply was changed by controlling the temperature of the washing bottle. Figure 3-42 shows the dependence of the methanol oxidation current on the partial pressure of methanol at 70°C. The oxidation current reached the maximiim at 20% (152 mmHg) methanol. Supplying more methanol had a detrimental effect in this condition. 

The ingredients for MTBE are isobutylene and methanol. Historically, refiners have noticed a perennial surplus of methanol-producing capacity around the world. Furthermore, huge surpluses of natural gas in remote locations promise even more methanol supply should the market price ever rise slightly above investment values. In a shrewd move, most refiners have opted to buy their methanol requirements rather than make them.

Benzo[c]furans undergo very rapid photooxidation. 1,3-Diphenylbenzo[c ]furan yields the oxide (368) on sensitized photooxygenation in ether at -50 °C. Reduction of the oxide with potassium iodide in acetic acid affords 1,2-dibenzoylbenzene and reaction with methanol supplies the hydroperoxide (369). 

In an alternative approach to prepare the chiral side chain of captopril (14) and zofenopril (18), the lipase-catalyzed stereoselective esterification of racemic 3-benzoylthio-2-methylpropionic acid (19) (Fig. 8B) in an organic solvent system was demonstrated to yield i -(+)-methyl ester (20) and unreacted acid enriched in the desired S-( )-enantiomer (19) [45], Using lipase PS-30 with toluene as solvent and methanol as nucleophile, the desired S-(-)-(19) was obtained in 37% reaction yield (theoretical max. 50%) and 97% e.e. Substrate was used at 22-g/ liter concentration. The amount of water and the concentration of methanol supplied in the reaction mixture was very critical. Water was used at 0.1 % concentration in the reaction mixture. More than 1% water led to the aggregation of enzyme in the organic solvent, with a decrease in the rate of reaction which was due to... 

Addition to methyl acrylate. The ester required for this reaction was obtained from a 60% solution in methanol supplied by Rohm and Haas. This solution was treated with hydroquinone and washed repeatedly with 7% aqueous sodium sulfate solution to remove the methanol, and the ester was dried, filtered, and used without distillation. For the preparation of methyl -bromopropionate, hydrogen bromide... 

Table 3.19 World Methanol Supply/Demand Balance...

The global demand for methanol has increased about 8%/yr from 1991 to 1995. The global production capacity of methanol has expanded by about 5.1 million metric tons, or 23% in the same time period. Leading the growth is increased methanol demand for MTBE and formaldehyde production. The world methanol supply/demand balance is shown in Table 3.19. 

CH20(flcy) -I- 2Cr +(flcy) + 8H20(/) The reaction can be studied with the stable isotope tracer 0 and mass spectrometry. When a small amount of CH3 OH is present in the alcohol reactant, H2C 0 forms. When a small amount of H2Cr 64 is present, H2 0 forms. Does chromic acid or methanol supply the O atom to the aldehyde Explain. 

Yen et al. [9] (University of Califomia/Pennsylvania State University) presented a bipolar Si-based micro-DMFC with an integrated MEA (Nafion -112 membrane) and 750 im wide and 400 pm deep microchannels fabricated using Si micro-machining (DRIE). This pDMFC with an active area of 1.625 cm has been characterised at near room temperature (RT), showing a maximum power density of 47.2 mW cm at 60°C when 1 M methanol was fed but only 14.3 mW cm at RT. Since then, Lu et al. [10] have enhanced the performance of the pDMFC to a maximum power density of 16 mW cm at RT and 50 mW cm at 60°C with 2 M and 4 M methanol supply with a modified anode backing structure enabling to reduce methanol crossover. 

In this section, we show that electrochemical Ru corrosion is induced in domains with strong methanol depletion. Such domains may arise in cell/stack environment due to nonuniformity of methanol supply over the cell surface. In these domains, methanol oxidation is substituted by the carbon corrosion reaction. This strongly lowers the membrane phase potential, thereby activating Ru electrochemical dissolution.

The following is the current outlook for global methanol supply and demand divided into the major regions, estimated for 1992 with forecasts throu 1995.
