Normal butanol (NB), also known as n-butanol or n-butyl alcohol, is a type of alcohol compound with four carbon atoms in its molecular structure. It is classified as a primary alcohol due to the presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) group on the terminal carbon atom. There are four isomers of butanol, each with a slightly different arrangement of the carbon and hydrogen atoms, resulting in different physical and chemical properties

  • Chemical Intermediates: It serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemicals, such as plasticizers, resins, and solvents.

  • Solvents: n-Butanol is used as a solvent in various industries, including paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives.

  • Textile Industry: It is used in the textile industry for dyeing and finishing processes.

  • Pharmaceuticals: n-Butanol can be used in the extraction and purification of pharmaceutical compounds

  • Herbicides and Pesticides: It can be a component in the formulation of some herbicides and pesticides.

  • Flavors and Fragrances: n-Butanol is sometimes used in the production of flavors and fragrances.
