Methyl Mercaptan: Market Segmentation

Methyl mercaptan, also known as methanethiol, is an organosulphur compound with the odour of rotten cabbage. It is a colourless gas with the chemical formula CH3SH. It is produced from methanol and hydrogen sulphide. It occurs naturally in the blood and brain of humans and animals, in plant tissues, in a wide variety of vegetables including onions and garlic, and in coal tar and petroleum distillates. Owing to its distinct putrid smell, it is used as a gas odorant for natural gas, butane, and propane to aid in leak detection.

The various sources of methyl mercaptan can be segmented into:

  • Natural
  • Synthetic

Based on synthesis type, the industry is divided into:

  • Hydrogen Sulphide-Methanol Vapour Phase 
  • Sodium Sulphide-Dimethyl Sulphate
