The Importance of Acetonitrile in the Pharmaceutical Industry and Opportunities for its Recovery from Waste

Abstract: Acetonitrile is regarded as a key solvent in the pharmaceutical industry. However, the volatility in acetonitrile supply in recent years, coupled with its relatively poor environmental profile, has presented significant challenges to its use in manufacturing processes and laboratories. This study investigates the importance of acetonitrile in the pharmaceutical industry and critically examines several options for reducing the exposure of the industry to future supply problems whilst also improving its life cyc… Show more

“…Acetonitrile is a key solvent in the chemical industries [19,20], which can be used as extraction solvents to separate butadiene, solvents to synthesize fiber and recrystallize steroid drugs, intermediates to produce medicine(vitamin B 1 ) and some spices. However, acetonitrile is difficult to be fully purified by using conventional distillation processes [21,22], particularly for the azeotropic system of ethyl acetate and acetonitrile [23,24].…”

“…В настоящее время MeCN получил широкое применение в качестве гидро-фильного экстрагента как сам по себе, так и в составе смешанных экстрагентов в са-мых разнообразных методах экстракции: твердофазной экстракции (ТФЭ); микро-ТФЭ; низкотемпературной ТФЭ; ЖЖЭ с высаливанием и высахариванием; микро-ЖЖЭ; дисперсионной микро-ЖЖЭ, жидкостной экстракции под давлением; флюид-ной экстракции, низкотемпературной ЖЖЭ, экстракционном вымораживании; ком-бинированном методе квечерс (QuEChERS) [6][7][8][9][10][11]13,15,[30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42].…”

“…В настоящее время выделение в лабораторных условиях чистого МеCN из азеотропной смеси с водой экономически не выгодно. Однако перспективным способом разрушения азеотропной системы МеCN -вода является применение некоторых ионных жидкостей [7].…”
