Ethanol, flammable, irritating, colorless transparent liquid with special odor, boiling point 107℃, spontaneous combustion point 426.6℃, slightly soluble in water, easily soluble in ethanol and ether. Function and use It is used as a raw material for organic synthesis and as a high-grade solvent. Used as analytical reagents, chromatography reagents, solvents and extractants. Ethanol is an organic synthetic raw material. It is mainly used in pesticides to synthesize isobutonitrile, an intermediate for diazinephosphorus. Organic synthetic raw materials. Used in the manufacture of petroleum additives, antioxidants, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol, isobutyl acetate (paint solvent), plasticizers, synthetic rubbers, artificial musk, fruit essential oils and synthetic drugs. It can also be used to purify salt chemical reagents such as strontium, barium and lithium, and as an advanced solvent. Solvents. Extractants. Lithium chloride is extracted from a mixture of lithium chloride with sodium chloride or potassium to separate strontium bromide and barium bromide. Determination of calcium, strontium, barium, sodium, potassium, lithium, silver, chlorine, and phosphite. Organic synthesis. Used as co-solvent for nitrocellulose, solvent for ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, various oils, rubbers, and natural resins. Organic synthetic raw materials. Applications are limited and must not be used to make agricultural plastics, as isobutanol can cause crop death. 02
