The forms of high-purity methane
1. High-purity methane is the main component of natural gas, biogas, oilfield gas, and the gases in coal mine tunnels. The main component of combustible ice is high-purity methane hydrate.
2. The volume fraction of high-purity methane in natural gas is usually between 80% and 97%. In China's "West-to-East Gas Transmission" project, "gas" refers to natural gas.
3. The main component of the gas that often causes gas explosions in coal mines is high-purity methane.
The physical properties of high-purity methane
Under normal circumstances, high-purity methane is a colorless and odorless gas. Its density is lower than that of air, and it is extremely insoluble in water.
The chemical properties of high-purity methane
1. Stability
Under normal circumstances, high-purity methane is relatively stable and does not react with strong oxidants such as potassium permanganate, nor does it react with strong acids or strong bases.
2. Oxidation Reaction - Flammability
High-purity methane is a combustible gas. Before ignition, the purity must be tested to prevent explosion accidents.
3. Substitution reaction
That's all for today. I hope the above information will be helpful to everyone. We will continue to talk about more things related to the chemical industry later. If you have any questions, please feel free to raise them.
