Applications of Acetonitrile:
1. Acetonitrile is the raw material for the preparation of protoacetate and is used as the extractant for C4 fractions in the synthetic rubber industry.
2. It is used for extraction of nitrile rubber monomer, pharmaceutical and carbon 4.
3. It is used as standard substance, solvent and stationary liquid for chromatographic analysis
4. Acetonitrile is mainly used as a solvent.Solvents used in synthetic fibers, certain special coatings, petroleum, oil,
pharmaceutical.In addition, can also be used in the synthesis of ethylamine, acetic acid, and in the fabric dyeing,
lighting industry also has many USES.
5. The simplest organic nitrile.Solvent for most inorganic compounds.
