Normal butanol is a colorless liquid, neutral with a mild alcoholic odor, from the alcohol family (first type alcohol with 4 carbon atoms) and an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H10O. It is also known as butyl alcohol, propyl carbonyl, hydroxybutane, butyric alcohol.
Normal butanol Production Method
It is a butane of butanol and is naturally obtained from the fermentation of carbohydrates and sugars. Therefore, it is available in some fruits such as grapes and kiwis, and in trees such as beech, animal waste, microbes, insects, etc.
There are also a variety of ways to produce this substance. For example, one method is ethanol with hydrogenation, which has not been used for several years. Another way is to use propylene with homogeneous catalysts such as hydrogen or rhodium and cobalt.
properties of Normal butanol
It is flammable and catches fire at temperatures above 35. C. It is compatible with organic solvents in all proportions and can be well soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone, ethers, alcohols, glycols, and hydrocarbons. It is also a good solvent for fats, oils, flexors and most natural resins.
use of Normal butanol
It is used in the production of butyl acetate, butyl acrylate, dimethyl phthalate and butyl ethers, and is used in the manufacture of polymers, pharmaceuticals, herbicides, herbicides, pyroxylin, and. As an additive in perfumery and today in the extraction of certain oils.
Normal butanol is in fact the raw material for the production of various chemicals, fuels and solvents, and in industry for the production of printing paints and butane xanthan, as well as in the production of urea formaldehyde resins and melamine formaldehyde as a A diluent, a reactant is used.
