other name: N-hexadecane
Hexadecane ( formula C16H34) is a straight-chain alkane. It is mainly used as a solvent, an organic synthesis raw material, and a gas chromatography stationary liquid, and also serves as a standard substance for measuring the combustion quality of diesel.
In addition to being used as a phase change material,
n-octadecane is also an environmentally friendly, renewable, non-polar organic solvent extracted from pure plants without
pollution, and is an excellent substitute for mineral oil.
1.In the field of energy, the cetane number of n-hexadecane is defined as 100, which is a key indicator for evaluating diesel ignition performance; Standard fuel consists of n-hexadecane and a-methylnaphthalene or synthetic substitute HMN, used to calibrate diesel cetane number testers, with values typically between 40-55.
2 . In the field of chemical engineering, n-hexadecane is commonly used as a solvent and organic synthesis intermediate. It is miscible with organic solvents such as ether and petroleum ether, insoluble in water, and suitable for dissolving reactants or serving as a reaction medium.
3. In analytical chemistry, n-hexadecane is used as a standard substance for gas chromatography, for verification, calibration, and accuracy evaluation of analytical results. For example, it is used as a standard substance for iso octane solution in hydrogen flame ionization detector (FID)
4. In environmental research, n-hexadecane is used as a model compound for microbial degradation of petroleum pollutants due to its low water solubility and tendency to cause persistent pollution. For example, the TZSX2 strain of the Rhodococcus genus can degrade it up to 91% under alkaline conditions.
5. In industrial applications, the odorless and environmentally friendly properties of n-hexadecane make it a solvent or additive in cosmetics, coatings, inks, plastics, and rubber industries, enhancing product performance.
