Introduction

Trioctylamine is a high molecular weight tertiary amine compound, which is a colorless to light yellow transparent oily liquid with a slight amine odor. Its molecular structure contains three octyl (C8) alkyl groups, which give it good hydrophobicity and extraction properties. It is widely used in the field of hydrometallurgy as an efficient metal extractant for selectively extracting cobalt, nickel, vanadium, rare earth and other metals from solutions; it can also be used as a phase transfer catalyst to improve the conversion efficiency in organic synthesis reactions.

Application

It can treat wastewater containing organic matter in sewage treatment plants, especially phenolic compounds and acidic organic matter containing benzene rings;
It can also undergo quaternization reaction to form quaternary ammonium salts, which can be used for precious metal extraction and phase transfer catalysts, and can also be used as a pharmaceutical intermediate extractant;
In precious metal refining, it can be used as an extractant to extract lanthanum, nickel, cobalt, actinium and other precious metals, and is also used in the rare earth industry;
It can be used as a metal anti-corrosion agent, detergent, and for metal surface treatment
