colorless, transparent liquid. Insoluble in water, soluble in ether, soluble in alcohol, acetone, benzene, chloroform, etc. Its vapor and air can form an explosive mixture, which can cause combustion and explosion in case of open flame and high heat energy. The strong oxidant can cause combustion explosion.
obtained by refining with petroleum. Alternatively obtained by synthesis of isobutane with isobutene in the presence of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride.
used in organic synthesis, as solvent and as comparative sample for gas chromatography. In the cylinder of internal combustion engine combustion shock resistance is good, is an excellent engine fuel. It is a standard fuel for the determination of octane number (shock resistance) of gasoline, which is mainly used as an additive for gasoline, aviation gasoline, etc., and a non-polar inert solvent in organic synthesis.
has a stimulating effect. Inhalation or oral administration is harmful to the body. Its vapor or mist has a irritating effect on the eyes, skin, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract. Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat source. The bin temperature should not exceed 30 ℃. Protection from direct sunlight. Keep the container sealed. Should be stored separately from the oxidant.

purpose | is a standard fuel for the determination of gasoline octane number (shock resistance), mainly used as additives for gasoline, aviation gasoline, etc, as well as organic synthesis of non-polar inert solvent used as analytical reagents and solvents Isooctane is a test of gasoline antiknock performance of the standard material. The octane numbers of isooctane and heptane are set at 100 and 0, respectively. Gasoline samples in a single cylinder engine, under the specified test conditions, the anti-explosion performance of such as isooctane-heptane mixture equivalent to a certain composition, the octane number of the sample is then equal to the volume percentage of ISO-isane in the standard fuel. Anti-knock performance of high gasoline octane number. organic synthesis. Solvent. The octane number of the fuel oil was measured. Standard for gas chromatographic analysis. Diluent. |
production method | is obtained by petroleum refining and can also be prepared by synthetic methods. For example, isobutane is reacted with isobutene in the presence of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. Isooctane can also be obtained by distilling and hydrogenating isobutylene polymer, which is a by-product of 264 antioxidant. |
