Description

General description

n-Butyl acetate is a limpid colorless liquid with a fruity odor. It is prepared by heating and distillation of n-butyl alcohol and acetic acid, in presence of sulphuric acid which acts as a catalyst. It is generally used as a solvent, during the production of lacquers, natural gums and synthetic resins.

Application

Butyl acetate is suitable to be used as an organic solvent, for the extraction of phosphomolybdic acid (PMA), which is used for the measurement of inorganic orthophosphate (Pi).
