CO2 Emission from Solvent reduction (Acetone,n-Butyl Acetate )

CO2 Emission from Solvent reduction (Acetone,n-Butyl Acetate )

CO2 Emission from Solvent reduction (Acetone,n-Butyl Acetate )

(OP)
I am trying to calculate the reduction in CO2 emission that can be gained by reducing the amount of solvent used (Solvent is used to clean paint equipment).

The way I went about it was to calculate the CO2 emission based on how many moles of CO2 would be released from solvent combustion.

Do someone have any other suggestions to calculate CO2 emission for Acetone/n-Butyl Acetate?

Thanks in advance   

RE: CO2 Emission from Solvent reduction (Acetone,n-Butyl Acetate )

The combustion reaction is what should be used to calculate the CO2 release.

n-BUTYL ACETATE Formula C6H12O2.
Reaction with Ozone: C6H12O2 + 8O2 ----> 6 C02 + 6 H2O
