PRODUCT OVERVIEW
DESCRIPTION
Acetonitrile is a transparent liquid with an aroma similar to ether, it is the simplest organic nitrile and is mainly produced as a by-product of acrylonitrile manufacturing. Acetonitrile serves as an aprotic polar solvent, meaning it does not donate or accept protons, making it valuable in various chemical processes. Key applications of acetonitrile include its use as a solvent in the purification of butadiene and as a medium polar solvent in laboratory settings, where it is miscible with water. Acetonitrile is crucial in the production of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, batteries, and rubber products, and is commonly used as a mobile phase in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
