Acetonitrile

Applications:The main use of acetonitrile is as a solvent. In the petroleum industry, it is used as a solvent to remove tar, phenol and other substances from petroleum hydrocarbons. In the oil and fat industry, it is used as a solvent to extract fatty acids from animal and vegetable oils, and in medicine, it is used as a reaction medium for the recrystallization of steroidal drugs. Acetonitrile is an intermediate for medicine (vitamin B1) and spices, and is a raw material for the manufacture of triazine nitrogen fertilizer synergist. It is also used as a denaturant for alcohol. In addition, it can also be used to synthesize ethylamine, acetic acid, etc., and has many uses in fabric dyeing and lighting industries.

Specification or purity Gradient chromatography grade, ≥99.9%

Description: Colorless transparent liquid. Slight ether smell. Glowing flame when burning. Miscible with water, ether, methanol, acetone, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, ethylene chloride, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, acetamide solution and many unsaturated hydrocarbons, but not with saturated hydrocarbons. Can dissolve some inorganic salts, such as silver nitrate, lithium nitrate and magnesium bromide.Acetonitrile can form an azeotropic mixture with water (containing 16% water).
