Description
The content of n-hexane in straight-run gasoline, Platinum Reforming raffinate, or wet natural gas is about 1-15%. Industrial production is mainly separated from the raffinate oil (containing hexane 11%-13%) of the Platinum Reforming Unit. The raffinate oil is separated by distillation to remove light components and reconstituted to obtain a fraction containing 60%-80% n-hexane. Double-column continuous rectification is adopted, hydrogenation is carried out with 0501 type catalyst to remove benzene and other unsaturated hydrocarbons, and qualified n-hexane is obtained. The United States also uses the adsorption separation method to prepare n-hexane. They are obtained by fractionation in petroleum fractions.

UV spectrum analysis. Pesticide residue analysis. High performance liquid chromatography. Gas chromatography analysis standard. Biochemical research, protein sequence analysis. Determine the refractive index of minerals. Organic Synthesis. Replace mercury in thermometers.
Storge & Handling
Shall be stored in a cool, dry place to maintain its stability and prolong its shelf life. Proper storage conditions are crucial to prevent product degradation, as ethylene carbonate can slowly decompose in the presence of moisture.
