ETHER, PETROLEUM - Introduction
PETROLEUM ETHER, also known as kerosene, diesel or heavy oil, is a PETROLEUM product consisting mainly of residual oil left over from the PETROLEUM refining process. Its main properties include:
1. Appearance and color: PETROLEUM ETHER is yellow or green, red, blue transparent liquid.
2. Density: The density of PETROLEUM ETHER is relatively high, about 0.85-0.95g/cm³.
3. Boiling point range: The boiling point range of PETROLEUM ETHER is wide, usually between 180 ° C and 340 ° C.
4. Flammability: petrol ETHER is flammable and has high combustion ability.
PETROLEUM ETHER has a wide range of uses, including:
1. Fuel: PETROLEUM ETHER is usually used as fuel for internal combustion engines such as automobiles, generators, and ships.
2. Heating fuel: PETROLEUM ETHER is used as a fuel for household and industrial heating systems, such as boilers, water heaters, etc.
3. Industrial use: PETROLEUM ETHER is often used as a raw material for the production of dyes, solvents, lubricants and asphalt and other chemical products.
The preparation of PETROLEUM ETHER is mainly a by-product obtained by the distillation process of PETROLEUM. At room temperature, the separation of PETROLEUM ETHER by controlling the boiling point of different oil products.
When using PETROLEUM ETHER, you need to pay attention to the following safety information:
1. Fire risk: As PETROLEUM ETHER is flammable, open flames and high temperature environments should be avoided when using it to prevent fire.
2. Ventilation requirements: When using PETROLEUM ETHER in a closed environment, good ventilation should be ensured to prevent gas accumulation.
3. Storage and transportation: PETROLEUM ETHER should be stored in a well-ventilated place away from open flames and heat sources, and away from oxidants, acids and alkaline substances.
4. Avoid contact with skin and eyes: PETROLEUM ETHER has a stimulating effect on the skin. After contact, rinse with plenty of water immediately and seek medical help.
