Used as an organic intermediate, extractant, and phase-transfer reagent in chemical synthesis. Trioctylamine is widely applied in solvent extraction processes for metal ions such as uranium, cobalt, nickel, and rare earth elements. It is also used in the production of surfactants, catalysts, corrosion inhibitors, and specialty chemicals.
