Usually, butanol (butyl alcohol) is primarily used as a bulk chemical for the production of butyl acetate and butyl acrylate. Due to its higher energy density compared to ethanol and similar properties like gasoline, especially n-butanol is also discussed to be applied as biofuel (e.g., as blend with gasoline up to 85 vol.% or as alcohol-to-jet-fuel (ATJ)) (Dürre 2007). While raw materials are the same as for ethanol, the difference from ethanol production is primarily in the fermentation of the feedstock and minor changes in distillation.
List of Chemical Substances

n-Butyl acetate, also known as butyl ethanoate, is an organic compound commonly used as a solvent in the production of lacquers and other products. It is also used as a synthetic fruit flavoring in foods such as candy, ice cream, cheeses, and baked goods. Butyl acetate is found in many types of fruit, where along with other chemicals it imparts characteristic flavors. Apples, especially of the Red Delicious variety, are flavored in part by this chemical. It is a colorless flammable liquid with a sweet smell of banana.
Industrial Polymers

The largest use of cellulose nitrate is as a base for lacquers and cements. Butyl acetate is used as a solvent. Plasticizers such as dibutyl phthalate and tritolyl phosphate are necessary to give films of acceptable flexibility and adhesion.

Butyl acetate possesses low volatility and is used as a solvent, making vinyl resins, nitrocellulose, and acrylic polymers. Also, it is present in alcoholic beverages, chewing gum, soft candy, and cheese. Butyl acetate is irritant and highly flammable. It produces irritation to skin and skin drying, eye and respiratory irritation beyond 200 ppm (short-term exposure limit) [32]. Sudhir Kumar Pandey et al. [33] employed gas chromatography for the detection of toluene, butyl acetate, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone. Moreover, the response to ethyl acetate and butyl acetate is prominent only to δ-SbNS rather than other allotropes. The novel aspect of the current work is to investigate the adsorption attributes of ethyl acetate and butyl acetate on δ-antimonene nanosheet (δ-SbNS) based on first-principles studies.

Butyl acetate, a well-known ester is particularly used as a solvent during manufacturing of acrylic polymers, vinyl resins, adhesives, leather dressings and in cosmetic formulations (Venimadhavan, Malone, and Doherty 1999). It is also used in food industry as it exhibit banana like flavor (Kocharekar and Dukhande 2017). Macroeconomics expert in their analysis predicted the food sale growth of the valuated business to increase between 2% and 5% (Vochozka, Rowland, and Šuler 2019). This can be motivating factor for entrepreneurs those want to embark on the venture of food related products. Various mechanisms to enhance butyl acetate production that can be considered includes pre-adsorption of acetic acid on metal oxide catalyst (Nagvenkar, Naik, and Fernandes 2015), hydrophobicity of reactants (Jermy and Pandurangan 2005), etc. Butyl acetate conversion is also attributed to catalytic material possessing high activity such as Modified Montmorillonite clay (Bhorodwaj, Pathak, and Dutta 2009), magnetic nanoparticle doped with rare earth element (Jing et al. 2015).

Butyl acetate is a low molecular weight ester produced by esterification of butanol with acetic acid. It is a clear, colorless liquid with intense fruit odor when in low concentration. Because of their physical and chemical characteristics it can be used as a solvent for applications in artificial leather, printing inks, nail polish, adhesives and also in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries (Salah et al., 2007; Martins et al., 2011, 2013; Peng et al., 2011). Butyl acetate global market is forecast to increase in the next years, being China the most significant consumer (Merchant Research & Consulting Ltd, 2016).
