Carbon disulfide

　　Main Uses

　　Industrial Field

　　Solvent: Used for dissolving rubber, resins, oils, waxes, phosphorus, sulfur, etc. It is an important solvent for dissolving raw rubber in the rubber industry and is also used in the manufacture of viscose fiber (dissolving cellulose xanthate).

　　Chemical Raw Material: Used in the production of carbon tetrachloride, dithiocarbamates (such as thiram, a fungicide), thiocyanates, etc. It is also a polymerization regulator for synthetic rubbers (such as styrene-butadiene rubber).

　　Extractant: Used in the metallurgical industry to extract rare metals (such as gold, silver) or to separate aromatic hydrocarbons from petroleum.

　　Agricultural Field

　　As a fumigant, it is used to kill pests in grain and seeds (such as rice weevils, grain moths) and nematodes in soil. However, its toxicity limits its scope of use, and it is currently being gradually replaced by low-toxicity agents.

　　Used to prepare pesticide intermediates, such as insecticides and fungicides.

　　Other Uses

　　Used in the production of high-purity silicon raw materials for the electronics industry, or as a fuel additive to improve combustion efficiency (less common).

　　In the laboratory, it serves as a non-polar solvent for organic synthesis reactions or the separation and purification of substances.
