Main Application:

Hydrocarbon Extraction Separation Solvents

Acetonitrile is widely used as a solvent.Mainly used as a solvent for extractive distillation to separate butadiene from C4 hydrocarbons.Acetonitrile is also used for the separation of other hydrocarbons,such as separated the propylene, isoprene and methyl acetylene from the hydrocarbon fraction.Acetonitrile is also used for some special separations, such as the extraction and separation of fatty acids from vegetable oils and cod liver oils, so that the processed oils are light, pure, and smelly, while the vitamin content remains unchanged.Acetonitrile is also widely used as a solvent in the pharmaceutical, pesticide, textile and plastic industries.
