Characteristics

1.Acetonitrile is a colorless liquid. It is completely miscible with water and alcohol. Its high dipole moment makes it an 

excellent solvent for many organic compounds as wellas some inorganic compounds.

2.Acetonitrile is chemically stable and is a strong solvent. It is mainly used for the synthesis of organic compounds, and is 

suitable for electrical-chemical reaction and nonaqueous titration. Acetonitrile easily solvates with cations and enhances the 

reactivity of anions.

3.As with other nitrile compounds, the reactivity of acetonitrile's cyano group enables the production of many nitrogen-

containing organic intermediates.

Application:

1.Used as solvent for extracting the butadiene, synthetic fibre and Some special coating.

2.Used as solvent for removing the tar, phenol ect from petroleum hydrocarbon in the petroleum industry.

3.Used as solvent for extracting fatty acid from animal and vegetable oil in the medicine industry.

4.Used for the reaction of recrystallization species of steroid drugs in the grease industry.

5.Used as the intermediate of the medicine(Vitamin B1) and spice. as the raw material to produce both triazine nitrogen 

fertilizer synergist.

6.Used as denaturant of the alcohol.

7.Used for compound ethylamine,aceticacid etc., and also used in fabric dyeing and the lighting industry.
