What chemical reaction will take place between asphalt and methanol? Can these two items be transported by the same tanker?
Asphalt is mainly the residue of oil refining products, which mainly turns into multi-carbon organic matter and other substances. Methanol is the simplest hydrocarbon derivative. If they are mixed together, it is estimated that methanol can dissolve some asphalt. Of course, methanol is volatile, toxic, flammable, explosive and toxic.
