  • Application

    Chemical analysis and instrumental analysis

    In recent years, acetonitrile has been used as an organic modifier and solvent for thin layer chromatography, paper chromatography, spectroscopy and polarography. Since high purity acetonitrile does not absorb ultraviolet rays in the range of 200nm to 400nm, a developing application is being developed as a solvent for HPLC, which can make the analytical sensitivity up to 10-9 levels.

    Solvent for hydrocarbon extraction and separation

    Acetonitrile is a widely used solvent, which is mainly used as the solvent of extraction distillation to separate butadiene from C4 hydrocarbons. Acetonitrile is also used for the separation of other hydrocarbons, such as propylene, isoprene and methylacetylene. Acetonitrile is also used for some special separation, such as the extraction and separation of fatty acids from vegetable oil and cod liver oil, which makes the treated oil light, pure, smell improved, and the vitamin content unchanged. Acetonitrile is widely used as solvent in pharmaceutical, pesticide, textile and plastic sectors.

    Intermediate of synthetic medicine and pesticide

    Acetonitrile can be used to synthesize intermediates of various medicines and pesticides. In medicine, it is used to synthesize a series of important pharmaceutical intermediates, such as vitamin B1, metronidazole, ethambutol, aminopteridine, adenine and dichotoke; in pesticide, it is used to synthesize pesticide intermediates such as pyrethroid insecticides and acetamicarb.

    Semiconductor cleaning agent

    Acetonitrile is an organic solvent with strong polarity. It has good solubility to oil, inorganic salt, organic matter and macromolecular compound. It can remove grease, wax, fingerprint, corrosive agent and flux residue on silicon wafer. Therefore, high purity acetonitrile can be used as semiconductor cleaning agent.

    Other applications

    In addition to the above application, acetonitrile can also be used as raw material for organic synthesis, catalyst or component of transition metal complex catalyst. In addition, acetonitrile is also used in fabric dyeing and coating compound, and it is an effective stabilizer for chlorinated solvents.
