Hexane

Hexane, wholesale is a saturated hydrocarbon belonging to the class of alkanes. It is a colorless liquid with a slight odor.

The melting point of hexane is approximately -139.54 °F (-95.3 °C). The boiling point of hexane is 154.04 °F (67.8 °C). The molecular weight of hexane is 86.18 g mol (g/mol). Hexane is insoluble in water and contains six carbon atoms.

Hexane is mainly produced by refining crude oil - a naturally occurring, flammable liquid consisting of a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. The composition largely depends on the source of the crude oil and the degree of processing or refinement.

When creating certain conditions of pressure and temperature, hexane interacts with a weak solution of nitric acid, enters into the reactions of halogenation, sulfochlorination.

It is oxidized by oxygen to produce hydroperoxide - it burns with the release of a large amount of heat.

Oxidation in the presence of catalysts can produce alcohol, aldehyde, carboxylic acid. By reforming in the presence of a catalyst, hexane isomers and benzene are obtained.

Hexane is a hazardous substance.

The chemical formula is C6H14.

Where is it applied?

as a solvent.

Fats, proteins and oils are produced from soybeans, peanuts, corn, etc.

In the production of gasoline and gasoline additives, benzene, polyolefins and synthetic rubbers.

As a solvent for paraffin plugs in oil production. Also as an industrial cleaner and degreaser.

For the analysis of medicines, water and food quality, refined petroleum products, etc.
