Acetonitrile is used mainly as a solvent in the purification of butadiene in refineries. Specifically, acetonitrile is fed into the top of a distillation column filled with hydrocarbons including butadiene, and as the acetonitrile falls down through the column, it absorbs the butadiene which is then sent from the bottom of the tower to a second separating tower.

Mobile phases for ANPC are based on organic solvents as bulk solvents (such as methanol or acetonitrile) with a small amount of water as a modifier of polarity; thus, the mobile phase is both "aqueous" (water is present) and "normal phase type" (less polar than the stationary phase).
[4] [5] This automated 'spray-on' technique is useful to overcome the uncertainty in droplet size and position when the sample is applied to the TLC plate by hand. Additionally, automation provides high resolution and narrow bands since the solvent evaporates immediately as the sample makes contact with the plate. [4]
Other salts, such as 100–300 mM sodium perchlorate, that are soluble in high-organic solvent mixtures (c. 70–90% acetonitrile), can be used to increase the mobile phase polarity to affect elution These salts are not volatile, so this technique is less useful with a mass spectrometer as the detector. Usually a gradient (to increasing amounts ...

Reverse phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) involves a non-polar stationary phase, often a hydrocarbon chain, and a polar mobile or liquid phase. The mobile phase generally consists of an aqueous portion with an organic addition, such as methanol or acetonitrile.
Silica gel particles are commonly used as a stationary phase in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for several reasons, [13] [14] including: High surface area: Silica gel particles have a high surface area, allowing direct interactions with solutes or after bonding of variety of ligands for versatile interactions with the sample molecules, leading to better separations.
