Carbon disulfide is a widely used solvent in the production of rayon fibers, carbon tetrachloride, pesticides, vulcanizers, cellophane, adhesives, and other chemicals. It is also used as a starting material in the synthesis of various sulfur-containing derivatives.
Application
Carbon disulfide can be used as a solvent:
To synthesize hydroxynaphthyl ketones via Friedel-Crafts acylation and demethylation.

Chemical conditioners are often used to enhance sewage sludge dewaterability through altering sludge properties and flocs structure, both affect odorous compounds emissions not only during sludge conditioning but also in subsequent sludge disposal. This study was to investigate emission characteristics

In carotenoids internal conversion between the allowed (S(2)) and forbidden (S(1)) excited states occurs on a sub-picosecond timescale; the involvement of an intermediate excited state(s) (S(x)) mediating the process is controversial. Here we use high time resolution (sub-20 fs) broadband
Extremophilic organisms require specialized enzymes for their exotic metabolisms. Acid-loving thermophilic Archaea that live in the mudpots of volcanic solfataras obtain their energy from reduced sulphur compounds such as hydrogen sulphide (H(2)S) and carbon disulphide (CS(2)). The oxidation of these
