Applications
Benzyl alcohol (C6H5OH) is a compound with a benzene ring and alcohol hydroxyl structure. Due to its unique chemical properties, it is widely used in many fields. The following are the main applications of benzyl alcohol:
1. Industrial Applications
Synthetic plastics and composites: Benzyl alcohol can be used as a raw material for plastics, and it can produce plastics and composites through reaction with other chemicals.
Lubricants and preservatives: Benzyl alcohol is often used to make lubricants and preservatives because of its certain lubricity and anti-rust ability.
Disinfection and antibacterial: Benzyl alcohol has strong antibacterial and disinfectant effects and is often used in disinfectants in the food, medicine and industrial fields.
2. Medical applications
Antibacterial treatment: Benzyl alcohol has strong antibacterial and antiviral activities and is often used to treat certain bacterial and viral infections.
Local disinfection: Benzyl alcohol solution is often used for local disinfection of the skin, especially in the case of scratches and scalds in the skin.
3. Chemical Applications
Reducing agent: Benzyl alcohol can be used as a reducing agent to reduce metal salts (such as ferrous sulfate) to form metal element.
Solvent: Benzyl alcohol is a commonly used solvent and is widely used in dissolving plastics, lubricants and other compounds.
4. Synthesize other compounds
Synthesis of phenol: Benzyl alcohol can produce phenol (C6H5OH) by reaction with NaOH.
Synthesis of toluene: The reaction of benzyl alcohol with concentrated sulfuric acid and a catalyst can produce toluene (C6H5CH3).
5. Environmentally friendly applications
Solvent replacement: Benzyl alcohol can be used as an environmentally friendly solvent to replace traditional toxic solvents and reduce environmental pollution.
Things to note
Although benzyl alcohol has many uses, it is toxic and should be safe when used to avoid inhalation, contact or consumption.
