METHANE CH4 Properties,Formula,Price, Uses

What is METHANE

**Introduction to Methane** Methane (CH₄) is a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable hydrocarbon and the primary component of natural gas. As the simplest alkane, it plays a vital role in energy production, serving as a key fuel for heating, electricity generation, and industrial processes. It is also a potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential over 25 times greater than CO₂ over a 100-year period, making its management critical for climate change mitigation. Methane occurs naturally in wetlands, landfills, and livestock digestion, as well as in fossil fuel extraction. Innovations in methane capture and utilization, such as biogas production, highlight its dual role as both an energy resource and an environmental challenge.

Preparation Process: Methane (CH₄) can be prepared through several methods: 1. **Natural Gas Extraction**: Methane is the primary component of natural gas, obtained via drilling and processing. 2. **Anaerobic Decay**: Organic matter decomposes in anaerobic conditions (e.g., landfills, wetlands) to produce biogas containing methane. 3. **Sabatier Reaction**: Hydrogen (H₂) reacts with carbon dioxide (CO₂) over a nickel catalyst at high temperatures (300–400°C) to form methane and water. 4. **Coal Gasification**: Heating coal in the absence of air produces syngas (CO + H₂), which can be converted to methane via catalytic methanation. 5. **Laboratory Synthesis**: Heating sodium acetate (CH₃COONa) with soda lime (NaOH + CaO) yields methane. Each method varies in scale and application.

Usage Scenarios: Methane is primarily used as a fuel for heating, cooking, and electricity generation due to its high energy content. It powers industrial processes, vehicles (as compressed natural gas or LNG), and household appliances. In the chemical industry, methane serves as a feedstock for producing hydrogen, methanol, ammonia, and synthetic fuels. It is also used in the production of acetylene, formaldehyde, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Methane aids in wastewater treatment and biogas generation from organic waste. Additionally, it plays a role in semiconductor manufacturing and as a refrigerant in cryogenic applications. Its abundance and versatility make it a key resource in energy and industrial sectors.

High concentrations may cause asphyxiation. No systemic effects, even at 5% concentration in air. (USCG, 1999)

Excerpt from ERG Guide 115 [Gases - Flammable (Including Refrigerated Liquids)]: Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning. Some may be irritating if inhaled at high concentrations. Contact with gas or liquefied gas may cause burns, severe injury and/or frostbite. Fire may produce irritating and/or toxic gases. (ERG, 2016)

4.3 Indication of immediate medical attention and special treatment needed, if necessary

Immediate first aid: Ensure that adequate decontamination has been carried out. If patient is not breathing, start artificial respiration, preferably with a demand valve resuscitator, bag-valve-mask device, or pocket mask, as trained. Perform CPR if necessary. Immediately flush contaminated eyes with gently flowing water. Do not induce vomiting. If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature. Obtain medical attention. /Aliphatic hydrocarbons and related compounds/

5.Fire-fighting measures

5.1 Extinguishing media

Suitable extinguishing media

12.2 Persistence and degradability

ANAEROBIC: Utilization of methane by soil microorganisms has been detected using five enriched soil samples collected from sites near Adelaide, South Australia; an average methane utilization of 55% was observed over 69 days. Methane utilization, expressed as % of control were as follows (value (soil type): 10 (litchfield podzolic, pH 5.9, 14% clay, 2.3% organic carbon, 17% moisture); 73 (pond mud, pH 7.9, 49% clay, 2.5% organic carbon, 126% moisture3); 55 (red brown earth, pH 7.7, 16% clay, 2.4% organic carbon, 8% moisture); 61 (Grey clay, pH 8.0, 36% clay, 3.1% organic carbon, 41% moisture); 75 (siliceous sands, pH 5.1, 5% clay, 2.4% organic carbon, 19% moisture)(1). The half-life of methane was estimated to range from 70 days to infinity based on gas exchange biodegradation experiments conducted in model estuarine ecosystems; inoculum sediments were obtained from Narragansett Bay, RI(2).

12.3 Bioaccumulative potential

An estimated BCF of 2 was calculated in fish for methane(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.09(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

12.4 Mobility in soil

The Koc of methane is estimated as 9(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.09(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that methane is expected to have very high mobility in soil. Methane's vapor pressure of 4.7X10+5 mm Hg(4) suggests that this compound will permeate through soil(SRC).

12.5 Other adverse effects
