Abstract:

Two samples of methanol, one a coal-derived product and the other a natural gas-derived product, were obtained for analysis. The coal-derived methanol was received in a 5-gallon steel can and the natural gas-derived methanol was received in 1-gallon glass bottles. The detailed analysis reported in this interim report provides an initial assessment of the compositional differences between the two methanols produced from different raw materials.
