Ammonia is less effective in a heating system compared to water because it has a lower specific heat capacity, which means it cannot hold as much heat per unit of mass. Additionally, ammonia is more corrosive and requires specialized equipment, making it more expensive to use in heating systems.

How can remove the ammonia from methanol?

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.
