OCTATETRACONTANE - Introduction
octatetracontane, also known as octatetracontane, is a linear alkane compound with the formula C48H98. The following is a brief description of the nature, use, preparation and safety information of the octatetracontane:
Nature:
- octatetracontane is a colorless solid with a waxy appearance.
-Its melting point is higher, about 70-76°C, and its boiling point is about 596°C.
- octatetracontane is insoluble in water at room temperature, but can be dissolved in organic solvents such as n-hexane and dichloromethane.
-Its density is low, 0.78g/cm³ at 25°C.
Use:
- octatetracontane are often used as reference materials in laboratories for calibration and calibration of instruments.
-Because octatetracontane is a stable and non-volatile compound, it is also widely used in the fields of low temperature, lubrication and surfactants.
Preparation Method:
- octatetracontane can be prepared by paraffin refining process. Paraffin wax is a mineral wax that contains a large amount of linear alkanes (including octatetracontane). Through distillation and purification processes, pure octatetracontane can be obtained.
Safety Information:
- octatetracontane is a relatively safe chemical compound, no obvious toxicity and irritation.
-However, any chemical substances need to be handled in accordance with safe operating procedures. Wear appropriate protective equipment such as laboratory gloves, goggles and laboratory coats when touching and handling octatetracontane to avoid accidental contact and ingestion.
- octatetracontane should be stored in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from open flames and oxidants.
