N-PENTANE INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENTS
Junyuan Petroleum Group manufactures a wide range of solvents and fluids for industrial use. n-Pentane is one of the solvent available in different composition and is widely used in industrial sector.

Methods to Produce Isoprene by Dehydrogenation

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.

Pentane Market Overview

Pentane is a hydrocarbon organic compound that has a gasoline-like odor and is usually burnt as a fuel. Pentane finds numerous industrial applications; for instance, it is used as an ingredient in the production of petroleum. Its primary application is in creating blowing agents, which are in turn used in manufacturing polyesters (foams). Pentane has three isomeric forms, i.e. Isopentane, n-Pentane and Neopentane, which are generally used in blowing agents, electronic cleansing or as chemical solvents.

The growth of the global pentane market can be attributed to the rapid adoption of automobiles across the globe, which in turn is estimated to step-up the adoption of gasoline. Pentane acts as a blending agent in gasoline, which is augmenting the growth of the gasoline market. Further, for polystyrene and polyurethane, pentane behaves as a blowing agent. Increasing disposable income and the inclination towards higher living standards have changed the lifestyle and buying power of the public, resulting in a jump in the sales of electronic appliances, which require polystyrene and polyurethane foam insulation for cooling purpose.

This in turn is increasing the consumption of pentane in the global market. In addition, pentane and its byproducts are used as refrigerants in electronic appliances (fridge and air conditioners), which is another factor contributing towards the growth of the global pentane market.  Therefore, the growth of the electronics industry has a significant impact on the consumption of pentane and is expected to create sizable growth opportunities in the global pentane market over the forecast period.

Among all regions, North America is anticipated to hold a significant share in the pentane market, owing to the widespread presence of the electronics industry and huge demand for blowing agents in polyester applications.  In Asia Pacific, counties such as Japan, South Korea, China, India, and Japan, the demand for pentane is expected to be surplus as a result of the significant presence of electronic manufacturing facilities. Further, the demand for pentane in Europe is likely to subside due to the stringent regulatory scenario; hence, the consumption of pentane could be replaced by propylene glycol methyl ether or propylene glycol methyl ether acetate.

Development Trend of Refrigerants

Development Trend of R601 Refrigerants

Product Description: n-Pentane; Pentane; Normal Pentane

GAS No.: 109-66-0

Packaging Specification: ISO-TANK

R601 Refrigerant Introduction

R601 refrigerant, pentane and n-pentane in Chinese, is a colorless liquid with faint mint fragrance. n-Pentane R601 is slightly soluble in water, and soluble in ethanol, ether, acetone, benzene, chloroform and other organic solvents, with a melting point of – 129.7 ℃ and a boiling point of 36.1 ℃.

R601 Refrigerant Application

R601 is mainly used for molecular sieve desorption, replacing Freon as foaming agent, as solvent, manufacturing artificial ice, agent, and synthesizing amyl alcohol.



Storage and Transportation

R601 refrigerant cylinder is a pressurized container, which should be stored away from fire, heat source and direct sunlight. It is usually stored in a cool, dry and ventilated warehouse; The steel cylinder, valve and other accessories shall be handled with care to prevent damage.

It is a general trend to use green and environment-friendly refrigerants. Green and environment-friendly refrigerants can be synthetic or natural. Although synthetic environment-friendly refrigerants will not damage ozone, natural refrigerants are the most ideal choice for the sustainable development of the earth’s ecology.

The history of refrigeration technology is actually the history of refrigerant development process. In the early days, people used the evaporation effect of storing natural ice and water and some other methods to refrigeration. In the 1930s, Perkins invented the vapor compression refrigeration cycle, and mankind ushered in the development period of refrigeration technology. The invention, renewal and replacement of refrigerants throughout the entire process. At present, according to the development requirements of the new era, refrigerants will face new challenges. At present, the development of refrigerant is divided into four stages, and the characteristics of each stage are shown in the left figure.

In general, the development trend of refrigerant should meet the requirements of sustainable development of ecological environment and promote its further development. According to the core requirements of coordination between economic development, resource protection and ecological environment protection in sustainable development, there are two development directions of refrigerant:

The first is environmental protection. It is a general trend to use green refrigerants. Green refrigerants can be synthetic or natural. Although synthetic environmental refrigerants will not damage ozone, natural refrigerants are the most ideal choice for the sustainable development of the earth’s ecology.

The second is energy conservation. With the improvement of people’s living standards, refrigeration, air conditioning and other equipment are becoming more and more popular, and at the same time, a large amount of energy consumed by them is also attracting more and more attention. This summer, 18 provinces and cities in China experienced a shortage of electricity. A survey by the China Electricity Regulatory Commission showed that the intensification of the contradiction between supply and demand caused a shortage of electricity this summer, of which the rapid growth of air-conditioning refrigeration load is a factor that cannot be ignored. Therefore, in addition to improving refrigeration technology, we can also start from refrigerants. It is also a development direction to reduce the energy consumption of refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment by developing new energy-saving refrigerants.

To sum up, the development of refrigerants is closely related to environmental protection and the sustainable development of the earth’s ecological environment. The development trend of refrigerants reflects the requirements of sustainable development of the environment.

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

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.

  • Boiling point: 81.86°F (27.70°C)
  • Density: 0.62 g/cm³
  • Chemical formula: C5H12
  • Average Molar mass: 72.15 g/mol
  • Classification: Alkane


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.
