Acetone (CH3COCH3), also known as dimethyl ketone, is the simplest saturated ketone. It is a colorless, transparent liquid with a special pungent smell. It is easily soluble in water and organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, ether, chloroform, and pyridine. It is flammable, volatile, and has relatively active chemical properties. At present, the industrial production of acetone in the world is mainly based on the cumene method. Acetone is mainly used as a solvent in the explosives, plastics, rubber, fiber, leather, oils, spray paint and other industries in industry. It can also be used as an important raw material for the synthesis of ketene, acetic anhydride, iodoform, polyisoprene rubber, methyl methacrylate, chloroform, epoxy resin and other substances.
