🔬 The new ppPLUS article on alkoxide production via the alkali hydroxide-methanol route provides solid technical coverage of this important industrial process. The document effectively combines fundamental chemistry with practical engineering details, making it a useful reference for both facility modeling and project assessments.
Potassium methoxide (also known as potassium methylate or potassium methanolate) is an organometallic compound with the molecular formula CH₃OK or CH₃KO. This compound represents the potassium salt of methanol, consisting of a potassium cation (K⁺) and a methoxide anion (CH₃O⁻).
