Acetone Oxime
Molecular formula: C3H7NO
Molecular weight: 73.0938
CAS: 127-06-0
EINECS: 204-820-1
Uses:
It is used as raw material for medicine, pesticides, dyes and organosilane coupling agents. It is also useful in the determination of nickel—and cobalt. Acetone oxime is an excellent corrosion inhibitor (deoxidant) with lower toxicity and greater stability compared to hydrazine.
Physical and Chemical Properties:
White crystalline solid with melting point 61℃, boiling point 136℃; flash point 60℃, Density: 0.9113, refractive index 1.4156. It is soluble in water, ethanol, ether and acetone. Also soluble in acid and base; easy for hydrolysis in diluted acid; quickly evaporate in open air.
Packing and handling:
30kg in carton drum with PE bag, stored in dry and cool storage room with proper vent, keep away from flame and heat. Explosive proof vent equipment and system should be used. Avoid in contact with oxidant and acid. Handling with care to avoid package damage.

Acetone oxime is white flake crystal at room temperature. It is easily soluble in water, alcohol, ether and other solvents. The saturated solubility of water solution is 25% (mass percent). Its water solubility is neutral. It is easy to hydrolyze in dilute acid. It can make potassium permanganate fade at room temperature. Acetone oxime is mainly used in industrial boiler feed water chemical deoxidizer. Compared with traditional boiler chemical deoxidizer, acetone oxime has the characteristics of less consumption, high efficiency, non toxicity and no environmental pollution. It is the best drug for shutdown protection and passivation treatment of subcritical boiler. It is also an ideal product to replace hydrazine and other traditional chemical deoxidizer in medium and high pressure boiler feed water.
