assuming it's trace ammonia in lots of methanol, you can probably just heat the methanol to boiling and that should get rid of all the ammonia. molecular sieves (size 3 angstroms) would also probably work. if it's more than a trace amount, you can go for distillation.

Can you mix methanol and ammonia?

Ammonia is often mixed with methanol and water for industrial purposes. However, the mixture should be handled carefully as it is highly toxic, corrosive, and can cause long lasting health problems.


What is the reaction of methanol with sodamide?

Methanol reacts with sodamide (sodium amide) to produce sdoium methoxide and ammonia. CH3OH + NaNH2 --> NaOCH3 + NH3


What is formamide?

It's a feedstock for quite a few products, and it's made in one of three ways: reacting formic acid with ammonia then heating it; reacting carbon monoxide and ammonia; or reacting carbon monoxide and methanol to get methyl formate then performing an aminolysis reaction to get formamide and methanol (which you then react with more carbon monoxide to get more methyl formate...)


How does ethanol treat methanol poisoning?

Methanol isn't actually poisonous, but the chemicals produced when your body metabolises methanol are. The enzymes that metabolise methanol also metabolise ethanol, but when both are present the ethanol is processed first. Methanol is also removed from the body via the lungs, sweat glands and in urine. Giving ethanol prevents the toxic by products of metabolism whilst these other methods remove the methanol from their system. This treatment only works if given early. It does not reverse the the damage done by methanol that has already been metabolised.


Why does ammonia have a higher proton affinity than water?

bond in ammonia is less polar than that of water so it is harder to remove proton from ammonia than water.

How do you remove methanol out of an ethanol mixture?

Methanol has a Boiling point under standard conditions of 64.7 °C, and ethanol of 78.4 °C. You I can boil off vapor and collect Methanol and Ethanol, and use that cooled back down to liquid form and preform a test.

How Trinidad benefits from petroleum?

Tinidad benefits from petroleum products such as methanol, ammonia, urea, and liquefied natural gas which has resulted to a growing trade surplus, and improved infrastructure.
