n-butanol (industrial grade) in the chemical production of raw materials in the field of nature and use
of
1. introduction

n-butanol (n-Butanol) is a common organic compounds, belonging to the alcohol. In the production of industrial grade chemicals, n-butanol plays an important role. Because of its unique physical and chemical properties, it is widely used in various production processes. In this paper, the properties and uses of n-butanol will be introduced in detail.

2. the properties of n-butanol

1. physical properties: n-butanol is a colorless and transparent liquid with a special smell. It has a boiling point of 117.7°C, a melting point of -89.5°C and a density of 0.810g/cm³. n-Butanol can be miscible with water in any proportion, and can also be miscible with many organic solvents such as alcohols, ethers, esters, etc.
2. Chemical properties: n-Butanol has the generality of alcohol, such as reacting with acid to generate ester, reacting with hydrogen halide to generate halogenated hydrocarbon, and being oxidized to generate aldehyde or ketone. In addition, n-butanol is also reductive and can be oxidized to butyraldehyde or butyric acid.

3. the use of n-butanol

1. solvent: n-butanol is an excellent solvent, can be used in coatings, inks, resins, rubber and other industries. Due to its higher boiling point and lower toxicity, n-butanol replaces more toxic solvents in many solvent formulations.
2. Plasticizer: n-Butanol can be used as a plasticizer in plastic processing, which can improve the flexibility, ductility and processability of plastics.
3. Chemical raw materials: n-Butanol can be used to produce many important chemical raw materials, such as butyraldehyde, butyric acid, butyl ester, etc. These compounds further derived a variety of fine chemicals, widely used in medicine, pesticides, spices and other fields.
4. biodiesel: n-butanol can be used as one of the raw materials of biodiesel, and fatty acid esterification of biodiesel. Biodiesel, as a renewable energy source, has low carbon emissions and environmental friendliness.

4. conclusion

n-butanol has a wide range of applications in the field of industrial chemical production, because of its unique physical and chemical properties, is used as a solvent, plasticizer, chemical raw materials and biodiesel raw materials. With the continuous development of science and technology, the application field of n-butanol will continue to expand.
