Organic solvents and inorganic solvents

Organic solvent is a type of solvent that uses organic matter as the medium, and vice versa is an inorganic solvent.
Solvents are divided into organic solvents and inorganic solvents according to their chemical composition .

Organic solvents are a class of organic compounds that can dissolve some water-insoluble substances (such as grease, wax, resin, rubber, dyes, etc.). They are characterized by being liquid at normal temperatures and pressures, and are highly volatile. During the dissolution process, the properties of the solute and solvent do not change.

Type of organic solvent:
There are many types of organic solvents, which can be divided into 10 categories according to their chemical structures:

1. Aromatic hydrocarbons: benzene, toluene, xylene, etc.;
2. Aliphatic hydrocarbons: Pentane, hexane, octane, etc.;
3. Alicyclic hydrocarbons: cyclohexane, cyclohexanone, toluocyclohexanone, etc.;
4. Halogenated hydrocarbons: chlorobenzene, dichloro Benzene, methylene chloride, etc.;
5. Alcohols: methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, etc.;
6. Ethers: diethyl ether, propylene oxide, etc.;
7. Esters: Methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, etc.;
8. Ketones: acetone, methyl butanone, methyl isobutyl ketone, etc.;
9. Diol derivatives: ethylene glycol Monomethyl ether, ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, ethylene glycolAlcohol monobutyl ether, etc.;
10. Others: acetonitrile, pyridine, phenol, etc.

Inorganic solvent:
Water, liquid carbon dioxide, liquid ammonia, liquid sulfur dioxide, thionyl chloride (thionyl chloride), sulfuryl chloride (sulfuryl chloride), lead acetate (lead) Sugar), hydrogen cyanide, hydrazine hydrate, sulfonyl fluoride, cuprammonium solution, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen fluoride, polyphosphoric acid, super acid, etc.
