Isopentane (IC5)

• Description

Isopentane (IC5) is a volatile flammable liquid hydrocarbon (CH3)2CHC2H5 and one of three isomers of pentane. Pentanes are components of some fuels, such as gasoline, and are also used as specialty solvents in the laboratory. Hydrocarbons are a diverse group of organic compounds that are made up of primarily carbon and hydrogen atoms. Hydrocarbons are derived from petroleum, coal tar and natural gas, as well as from plants and animals.

Iso-Pentane (IC-5) is used in the Polyethylene reaction and catalyst for the Gas Phase process in order to increase the production of the PE. Isopentane (iC5) It is supplied in the form of an Isopentane fraction with a base material content of up to 99.8% (grade A), is used for foaming polymers and as a component of motor fuel. Although hydrocarbon foaming using Isopentane (iC5) requires more complex and expensive equipment, it allows to produce polyurethane foam of better characteristics.

Why Use Pentane, a Hydrocarbon?

Polyisocyanurate foams were traditionally produced using CFC-11 (a chloro-fluorocarbon) as the blowing agent.When evidence became irrefutable that CFCs destroyed stratospheric ozone, most of the world adopted the ground-breaking Montreal Protocol, which mandated the phaseout of CFCs for non-essential uses by 1996.

Isopentane (iC5) vs n-Pentane (nC5)- What’s the difference?

Isopentane Versus n-Pentane as a Noun. Isopentane differs from n-Pentane (as nouns) because Isopentane means “ an aliphatic hydrocarbon with the chemical structure CH₂CH₂CH(CH₃)₂; isomeric with pentane and neopentane,” while n-Pentane is “ the saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon (CH₃(CH₂)₃CH₃).”

ISOPENTANE

It is supplied in the form of an Isopentane fraction with a base material content of up to 99.8% (grade A), is used for foaming polymers and as a component of motor fuel.

Although hydrocarbon foaming using Isopentane requires more complex and expensive equipment, it allows to produce polyurethane foam of better characteristics compared to analogues. The coefficient of thermal conductivity of the gas formed during Isopentane foaming is lower than when using pure water foaming and, consequently, the panel filled with polyurethane foam on Isopentane provides better thermal insulation. The use of Isopentane as a foaming agent makes working at a lower density possible. The filling density of foam on Isopentane is 42 kg / m3 against 45-50 kg / m3 in the case of water foaming.

This means that holding the dimensions fixed the sandwich panel with the pentane-foamed polyurethane filling is lighter in comparison with the one with a CO2 – foamed polyurethane filling. In the end, it reduces the weight of the entire mobile building envelope as a whole and the load on its elements, making it more reliable and economical to use. Fine uniform porosity of the foam makes it possible to obtain maximum thermal insulation characteristics.

Hydrocarbon foaming allows to achieve the best characteristics of polyurethane foam, and, consequently, to improve the characteristics of sandwich panels, as well as manufactured from them mobile enclosing structures. It provides:

•     better energy saving due to high thermal insulation characteristics;
•     high durability thanks to better adhesion to metal sheets of the panel;
•     efficiency and an advanced technological design due to it being lighter;
•     durability of the structure.

Cyclopentane – A Blowing Agent for the Polyurethane Foams
Cyclopentane is usually used as a new, more environmentally friendly insulation material in the manufacture of select refrigerators and freezers.
Cyclopentane is a blowing agent for the polyurethane foams that are used to insulate refrigerators and freezers.
Unlike some other chemicals used to insulate refrigerators, cyclopentane does not contain hydro-fluorocarbons (HFCs). Using cyclopentane results in significant reductions in equivalent CO2 emissions.
The most common foam-blowing agents currently used in the U.S. are R134a and R245fa. These industry-standard insulations can have a global warming potential (GWP) as high as 1300 (134a) and 950 (245a). In contrast, the foam-blowing agent cyclopentane has a GWP of approximately 10. When it comes to GWPs, the lower the number is, the better it is for the environment, so cyclopentane is clearly the more environmentally friendly choice.
Cyclopentane increases the efficiency of the insulation foam by approximately 4 percent over the R134a foam currently used in most refrigeration products.
Cyclopentane has been very popular as a blowing agent in Europe since the early 1990s, but the cost of retrofitting existing production facilities and the lack of U.S. regulations restricting the use of HFCs has delayed implementation in the U.S. However, there are other manufacturers currently selling refrigerators in the U.S. that use cyclopentane.
Compared to other insulating foams, cyclopentane is competitively priced and relatively easy to produce.
Like many gases, in its pure form, cyclopentane is a highly evaporative and flammable material. However once foamed, the unit is no more hazardous than a unit foamed with other blowing agents. As with any of our manufacturing processes, we’ve integrated a wide variety of redundant engineering and operational safeguards.

Why is n-Hexane used for edible oil extraction?

The conventional technology used for oil extraction from oilseeds is by solvent extraction. In solvent extraction, n-Hexane is used as a solvent for its attributes such as simple recovery, non-polar nature, low latent heat of vaporization (330 kJ/kg) and high selectivity to solvents. Unlike other solvents, hexane has certain properties that make it the ideal choice for oil extraction processes. Hexane can extract more oil from oilseeds compared to ethyl acetate and ether With its low boiling point, hexane can retain its liquid states even in cold climates.

The distillation range of n-Hexane is short, and the volatilization of harmful substances is relatively clean and thorough, so that the nutritional components of vegetable oil are not destroyed by high temperature, which improves the safety of edible oil, reduces the leaching consumption and residue of edible oil in production, has a high oil production rate, and is convenient for industrial scale production. Hexane is an organic solvent with good viscosity. It is usually used in rubber food, pharmaceutical, perfume, shoe making, adhesive tape, ball making, grinding, leather, textile, furniture, paint industries, or dilution, or cleaning solvent, or viscose.

In addition, it can also be used as a solvent for extracting seed oil (such as soybean oil, cottonseed oil, flax oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, etc.); It can also be used as a raw material for manufacturing polymers; Such as polypropylene and polyethylene.

Solvent extraction technology is a continuous edible oil extraction equipment, which uses the solubility of n-Hexane and oil to improve the oil content through soaking and spray. Solvent extraction technology can be used to extract oil from most oilseeds. The high oil content oilseeds such as rapeseed, peanut, cottonseed and sesame are extracted by pre pressing solvent, and the low oil content oilseeds are extracted by direct solvent.

The main advantage of using n-Hexane as extraction solvent to prepare edible oil is low residual oil. In addition, there are eight advantages:

1. In the detection of the final edible oil products, the sulfur and benzene content in n-Hexane is very low, which is almost impossible to detect, and more in line with the international health detection standards.

2. The distillation range of n-Hexane is 63 ℃ – 71 ℃, and the dissolution rate is small.

3. The recovery temperature of n-Hexane is low and the energy saving effect is obvious. Moreover, it is of great benefit to improve the quality of oil products, and the color will be better. The acid value and peroxide in the oil can be reduced to improve the refining yield.

4. The content of n-Hexane is increased, the extraction capacity is improved, and the processing capacity of the device is also improved.

5. n-Hexane has good compatibility with oil and can reduce the residual oil in the filter cake. Increase the output of oil and improve the efficiency of enterprises.

6. The use of n-Hexane can reduce the drying temperature during the cake recovery process, reduce the direct steam supply, and thus reduce the dust intrusion of the condensation recovery system. Prolong the life cycle of the condenser.

7. Due to the extremely low sulfur content in n-Hexane, the corrosion of the system is reduced and the service life of the equipment is prolonged.

8. Reducing the operating system temperature after using hexane can reduce the reduction crystallization of unstable substances in the plant and improve the utilization rate of the whole system.

It can be seen from the above description that n-Hexane is the best choice in vegetable oil plants, which is also the reason why solvent extraction plants are becoming more and more popular in large vegetable oil production plants.

Hexane and oils work quite well together, which makes hexane an ideal solvent for oil extraction. Oil extraction requires fats to be soluble in a material, and hexane is a great match because it allows the oils to dissolve and separate from the original oilseed plant. The solvent extraction plant is the best solution for the project with a capacity of more than 30 tons / day. Because the residual oil amount is more than 5% for the press method and less than 1% for the solvent extraction method. The crude powder extracted by solvent extraction can be widely used in food raw materials with high protein content and high quality because of its low temperature.

We have the latest equipment and technology for the strict checking of raw material at the initial stage only. We ensure that prior to manufacturing the material is checked on the grounds of quality. As quality is our topmost concern, we give maximum priority to the stringent checking of the entire range of products. Junyuan Petroleum Group provides the food grade hexane for edible oil extraction and for pharma industries.
