Application

Acetone can be used as a solvent:
  • In liquid chromatography for the effective separation and detection of compounds.
  • For the extraction of active compounds from plant materials.
  • In the derivatization of fatty acids for HPLC analysis, enhancing sensitivity and preventing degradation of biological materials during analysis.
Acetone′s luminesence intensity is dependent upon the solution components . The absorption of UV light by acetone, results in its photolysis and the production of radials .

General description

Acetone is the simplest ketone and is commonly used as a solvent in processes such as extraction, purification, and formulation, where the final product must be free from solvent residues to ensure safety and quality. Its excellent ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds, along with its miscibility with water, ethanol, and ether, makes acetone a versatile solvent for both laboratory and industrial applications.
