At least 137 people have died in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi after drinking an alcoholic brew laced with methanol. |
In the late '80s and early '90s methanol was the alternative fuel of choice. |
The fuel cell also needs moisture in the electrolyte as well as water at the anode to control the supply of methanol. |
The organic solvents used in the present study were n-butanol, acetonitrile, methanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, and isobutanol. |
Alcohols, particularly methanol and ethanol, are metabolized to formate and lactate via an aldehyde. |
The methanol reacts with water in the presence of a catalyst to produce hydrogen ions and electrons. |
