When methanol enters the body, it is metabolized to form Methanoic acid which disturbs many important bodily reactions that are vital to survival; this can lead to blindness, agitation and coma ...

The Saudi Arabia formic acid market reached a volume of 8.8 kilo tons in 2024 and is projected to grow to 15.9 kilo tons by 2033, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.5% between 2025 ...

As a result, a person exposed to methanol can go into severe metabolic acidosis, which is when too much acid builds up in the body. Methanol poisoning can cause nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.

Methanol is highly toxic, so as little as 25ml can prove fatal. Methanol poisoning can be treated by using ethanol to counter the effects on the body - but only within the first 10 to 30 hours ...

It is currently estimated that natural gas resources will be exhausted in 130 years; however, those reserves where extraction is cost-effective will only flow for another 60 years or so.

After testing five different D-LDH genes and eight promoters, the researchers identified an ideal mix that boosted D-lactic acid production by 1.5 times compared to other methanol-based methods.

The total Faraday efficiency of formic acid exceeds 190% in wide voltage range, and only 2.1 V is required to achieve a formic acid partial current density of ~130 mA cm-2 while consuming three ...

HPLC-grade methanol, methanoic acid, ethanoic acid, isopropanol and acetonitrile were all from Tedia (Fairfield, USA). Water was purified with a Milli-Q system (Millipore, France). Surgery and ...
