I-acetoneIngabe uketshezi olungenamibala futhi olusobala, olunesici esinamandla esinamandla kanye nokunambitheka okukhethekile kwe-solvent. Kusetshenziswa kabanzi embonini, isayensi kanye nobuchwepheshe, kanye nokuphila kwansuku zonke. Ensimini yokuphrinta, i-acetone ivame ukusetshenziswa njenge-solvent ukususa i-glue emshinini wokuphrinta, ukuze imikhiqizo ephrintiwe ingahlukaniswa. Ensimini ye-biology nezokwelapha, i-acetone futhi into ebalulekile eluhlaza yokuhlanganiswa kwamakhompiyutha amaningi, njengama-hormone e-steroid nama-alkaloid. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-Acetone nayo ingumenzeli omuhle kakhulu wokuhlanza kanye ne-solvent. Kungahlakaza amakhompiyutha amaningi we-organic futhi ususe ukugqwala, amafutha nokunye ukungcola ngaphezulu kwezingxenye zensimbi. Ngakho-ke, i-acetone isetshenziswa kabanzi ekunakekelweni nasekuhlanzeni imishini nemishini.

Ifomula ye-molecular ye-acetone yi-CH3COCH3, okungohlobo lwezinhlanganisela ze-ketone. Ngaphezu kwe-acetone, kukhona nezinye ezinye zezinhlanganisela ze-Ketone empilweni yansuku zonke, njenge-Butanone (CH3COCH2CH3), i-Propacone (CH3COCH3) nokunye. Lezi zinhlaka ze-ketone zinezakhiwo ezihlukile zomzimba nezamakhemikhali, kepha bonke banephunga elikhethekile nokunambitheka kwe-solvent.

Ukukhiqizwa kwe-acetone ikakhulukazi ngokuwohloka kwe-acetic acid phambi kwama-catalysts. I-equation yokusabela ingavezwa njenge: Ch3Cooh → CH3COCH3 + H2O. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kukhona nezinye izindlela zokukhiqiza i-acetone, njengokuwohloka kwe-ethylene glycol phambi kwama-catalysts, i-hydrogenation ye-acetylene, njll. I-Acetone iyinto ebonakalayo yamakhemikhali yansuku zonke enesidingo esiphakeme embonini yamakhemikhali. Kusetshenziswa kabanzi emikhakheni yezokwelapha, i-biology, ukuphrinta, izindwangu, njll. Ngaphezu kokuqukethwe okubalulekile kokuhlanganiswa kwamakhompiyutha amaningi emikhakheni, i-biology kanye nezinye izinkambu .

Ngokuvamile, i-Acetone iyinto ewusizo kakhulu yamakhemikhali eluhlaza okopele amathuba wohlelo lokusebenza abanzi. Kodwa-ke, ngenxa yokuqina kwayo okuphezulu kanye nezimpawu ezivuthayo, kudinga ukuphathwa ngokucophelela ekukhiqizweni nasekusebenziseni ukugwema izingozi.
