Solvents are liquid, gas, or solid chemicals that dissolve, extract, or suspend other substances. The most common and “universal” solvent is water, which dissolves more substances than any other.

Solvents are often categorized as polar or nonpolar, a factor of the solvent’s structure and charge that determines the types of substances that it can dissolve. Polar solvents have a “positive” and a “negative” charge at different places in their structures and will dissolve other polar substances. Water is a polar solvent; other polar solvents include acetone, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide (DMF), dimelthylsulfoxide (DMSO), isopropanol, and methanol.

Nonpolar solvents include alkanes (pentane, hexane, and heptane) and aromatics (benzene, toluene, and xylene). Other common nonpolar solvents include acetic acid, chloroform, diethyl ether, ethyl acetate, methylene chloride, and pyridine. Nonpolar organic solvents are used as spot removers, paint thinners, nail polish removers, glue solvents, and are also used in perfumes and detergents.

Solvents are used extensively as a medium for chemical reactions and analytical separations and are available in various purity grades and packaging options. They are also essential for manufacturing cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, personal care items, textiles, paints, pesticides, and many other products.

Heptane, with the chemical formula C7H16, is labeled as a straight-chain alkane derived from petroleum. Its roles in industry vary greatly because of its versatile chemical properties.

• As a clear, odorless, liquid hydrocarbon, heptane is best recognized as the standard zero-point for the octane rating scale, which is seen on nearly every gasoline pump worldwide. Heptane readily combusts when placed under the vast amounts of pressure within a gasoline engine.  
• Heptane’s high flammability gives it properties necessary in many industries, including use as fuels. Heptane is a great fuel source for pressurized, outdoor liquid fuel stoves due to its hydrocarbon chemical makeup, which expends vast amounts of heat energy during hydrocarbon combustion.
• Heptane acts as a thinner for rubber cement.
• High schools, colleges, and universities all rely on heptane as a laboratory reagent in chemistry courses thanks to its isomers, which are reliable, nonpolar solvents. Heptane’s reactivity is extremely low with most other chemicals. Substances not readily dissolved in water will break chemical bonds in a heptane solution. An example of heptane’s versatility is the grease test spot in which a material containing a grease, wax, or oily substance is submerged and gently shaken in a heptane solution. This determines the material’s earlier presence of organic compounds.
• Law enforcement and government agencies use heptane as a solvent in processing latent fingerprints. Heptane’s ease of preparation with a ninhydrin reagent protects the clarity and intensity of fingerprints without destroying writing ink. However, if the inks used in printing are not water based, heptane dissolves the ink.
• The vulcanization of rubber utilizes heptane as a compounder. In the commercial manufacture of rubber cement, unvulcanized rubber is placed in a solvent of 70-90% heptane. Different grades of rubber cement are created depending on a higher or lower percentage of heptane within the solvent.

#Heptane is a component of natural gas and crude oil (0.1-1.9%). All isomers of heptane are used as #solvents for glues, lacquers and inks, as #industrial #solvent for extracting natural gas, in #organic #synthesis, as an anesthetic, and are ingredients of gasoline and #petroleum #solvents. 

Pure #heptane has two main uses. The first use is as the standard zero point for the octane rating scale for gasoline. As a driver, you may have noticed that higher #octane fuel is more expensive because it is better for your engine. You can correctly conclude that a fuel rated zero #octane would be terrible for your car. Indeed, pure heptane with its zero #octane rating is a terrible fuel choice. The reason is that #heptane burns very explosively, which is the source of engine knocking.

According to Patty [1963], a 4-minute exposure to this same concentration produces vertigo and incoordination [Patty and Yant 1929]. These symptoms described by Patty [1963] could perhaps impede escape.

ACUTE TOXICITY DATA

Lethal concentration data:

Other human data: Inhalation of 1,000 ppm for 6 minutes was associated with slight dizziness [Patty and Yant 1929]. Exposure to 5,000 ppm for 4 minutes produced complaints of nausea, a loss of appetite, vertigo, and incoordination [Patty and Yant 1929]. A 15-minute exposure to 5,000 ppm produced a state of intoxication characterized by uncontrolled hilarity in some individuals and in others a stupor lasting for 30 minutes after the exposure [Patty and Yant 1929].

Junyuan Heptane is commercially available as mixed isomers for use in paints and coatings, as the rubber cement solvent “Bestine”, the outdoor stove fuel “Powerfuel” by Primus, as pure n -heptane for research and development and pharmaceutical manufacturing and as a minor component of gasoline.

Solvents, such as 2-Me-THF, n-heptane, and iso-propyl acetate, which are being used more frequently as the chemical industry aims to adopt greener, safer, and more sustainable solvents. These spectral tables simplify the identification of these solvents as impurities in NMR spectra following their use in synthesis and workup protocols.

The n-Heptane used in some of Spirits is extremely high purity with very low levels of other organic solvents, heavy metals, and impurities. Blending this high purity n-Heptane with food/pharmaceutical grade Ethanol creates a solvent capable of producing an exceptionally clean, premium quality oil.

n-Heptane is a non-polar solvent that is widely used in several industries such as pharmaceuticals, paints and coatings, electronics, polymer and plastic, adhesives and sealants, textile and industrial cleaning, among others.

n-Heptane is a paint solvent and rubber cement thinner. Heptane is excellent for oil extraction and solvent extraction. Junyuan Petroleum Group produces a high purity (99.9%) grade of n-Heptane. Heptane is widely used in laboratories in the United States as a non-polar solvent. In some botanical processing labs, heptane is used to replace hexane.

The growth of the electronic industry will have a positive impact on the n-Heptane market. Growth of the pharmaceutical industry is also driving the demand for high purity n-Heptane. Also, the rising demand for n-Heptane from other end-use applications such as adhesives & sealants will have a positive impact on the n-Heptane market.

n-Heptane is used as a test fuel constituent. n-Heptane also finds important applications in the purification process of pharmaceutical products and other synthetic organics. n-Heptane and its multiple isomers are extensively used in laboratories as non-polar solvents. As a liquid, n-Heptane is known to display many advantages.

The n-heptane isomerization was conducted at flow unit with an isothermal tubular reactor with fixed bed
catalyst (2 sm3, 0.2-0.7 mm fraction) at a pressure of 1.5 MPa and a temperature range of 140-240ºC. Before the
reaction, the catalyst was reduced in a hydrogen flow at 300 °C for 3 hours, then the reactor was cooled to reaction
temperature and n-heptane was fed with volume velocity of 1h-1) in a Н2/n-heptane ratio =3 (mol.).
Analysis of the reaction products was carried out in the online mode using a gas chromatograph (Tsvet-800)
equipped with a flame ionization detector and capillary column PONA/PIONA (J&W Scientific). The measure of
catalyst activity was the n-heptane conversion . Isomerization selectivity was defined as the ratio of the heptane
isomers sum yield to all isomerization products.
