Naphtha is an important raw material for the production of pentane, hexane and heptane series products. If you need to purchase these hydrocarbon end products, please feel free to contact Junyuan Petroleum Group.

Pentane is an organic compound with 5 carbon atoms. There are three structural isomers
of pentane of which n-pentane is a long chained isomer. Pentane is inexpensive, non-polar,
and miscible in almost all non-polar solvents. Pentane is generally employed in fuels,
industrial applications like solvents, manufacturing of polystyrene foam, working medium
and other. Moreover, n-pentane has laboratory applications and is used as solvent. It is
also used in liquid chromatography.
Increasing demand from industrial sector for n-pentane due to the high volatility,
miscibility with non-polar compounds like chlorocarbons, olefins, ethers shall drive the
market. Additionally, the lower cost of n-pentane compared to other industrial solvents
shall boost the market demand. Pentane is also an important component of fuels.
Increasing demand for fuels from all over the world shall foster the market growth.
However, n-pentane is a non-polar solvent which is dissolved only in non-polar and alkyl
rich compounds. They lack in functionality and this is expected to hinder the market
growth.

There are two methods to produce isoprene by dehydrogenation: isopentane dehydrogenation and isopentene catalytic dehydrogenation. 1、 Isopentane dehydrogenation method The two-step catalytic dehydrogenation method of isopentane was first developed by the former Soviet Union and was industrialized in 1968. The raw material isopentene used in the isopentene dehydrogenation process is from catalytic cracking or straight-run gasoline. The process is mainly divided into three steps: first, the isopentane is dehydrogenated to isopentene, and a fluidized bed reactor similar to catalytic cracking is used, and the catalyst is spherical chromium-alumina oxide; Then isoprene is obtained by catalytic dehydrogenation of isoprene, and the plate-shaped calcium-nickel-phosphoric acid catalyst and adiabatic fixed-bed reactor are used; Finally, the dehydrogenation product is extracted and distilled with dimethylformamide or acetonitrile in two extractive distillation columns to obtain crude isoprene, and then the high-purity product is obtained after alkali treatment, hydrogenation and acetylene removal. In order to obtain the conversion rate beneficial to industrial production, the reaction must be carried out at high temperature (above 500~600 ℃), resulting in the increase of side reactions such as pyrolysis and isomerization. Therefore, although the raw materials of this method are cheap and easy to obtain, the cost and consumption quota are high, the process for preparing high-purity products is complex, and the development prospect is lacking. At present, only some enterprises in Russia and Eastern Europe apply this method to produce isoprene, with a total production capacity of about 300000 t/a. 2、 There are three isomers of isopentene by catalytic dehydrogenation of isopentene: 2-methyl-1-butene, 2-methyl-2-butene and 3-methyl-1-butene, of which 2-methyl-2-butene is the most suitable precursor for the synthesis of isoprene. In 1961, Shell Company of the United States built a 18000 t/a isoprene production unit using isoprene catalytic dehydrogenation method, and the production capacity of this method has reached 190000 t/a. The process flow is divided into three steps: extracting and separating isopentene from C5 fraction, a by-product of the catalytic cracking unit of the refinery; Isopentene was dehydrogenated at 600 ℃ in a fixed-bed adiabatic reactor using iron oxide, chromium oxide and carbonate catalysts; The dehydrogenation product is extracted, distilled and refined to obtain isoprene product with purity of 99.2%~99.7%. This method can use isopentene (10%~30%) with a wide range of mass fraction as raw material. Among the many methods for producing isoprene, extractive distillation has certain advantages in technology and economy. In economy, only alkenal method can be compared with extractive distillation, and the production cost of other methods is higher. Summary: From an economic point of view, the isoprene dehydrogenation technology developed by the former Soviet Union to produce isoprene has been declining and cannot be compared with the cracking C5 separation method. For the students participating in the chemical design competition, it is even more difficult to check the documents of the former Soviet Union decades ago. Even if they find them, they are still in Russian, and they can’t understand them. From a technical point of view, the reaction part is similar to the catalytic cracking unit, which is extremely complex, with many side reactions, more complex components and great difficulty in product separation. It is conceivable that such a huge workload and technical difficulty will defeat a large number of heroes.

Description

Cyclopentane is the lightest non-polar cycloalkane solvent used by the chemical industry. Its cyclical structure provides a higher solubility coefficient than branched or linear hydrocarbons, while its low molecular weight results in one of the lowest heat of vaporization values a among non-aromatic hydrocarbon solvents.

Features

• High solubility coefficient

• non polar

• low heat vaporization

Cyclopentane is used as green blowing agent and involved in the production of polyurethane insulating foam, which is used in refrigerators, freezers, water heaters, construction panels, insulated pipes and roofs. As a lubricant, it finds applications in computer hard drives and outer space equipment due to its low volatile nature. It is widely useful in the preparation of resin, adhesives and pharmaceutical intermediate. It is an additive in gasoline. Since it is a halogen free compound and has zero-ozone depletion potential, it replaces the conventionally used chloro fluoro carbon (CFC) in refrigeration and thermal insulation.
