Oil - Names and Identifiers
Oil - Introduction
Oils are a common class of organic compounds whose main components are carbon, hydrogen and a small amount of oxygen. Common properties of Oil include low polarity, being insoluble in water, having a high fire point and a low boiling point. They are usually colorless or pale yellow liquid, showing viscous characteristics at room temperature.
Oil has a wide range of uses. First, they are often used as lubricants because they reduce friction and wear and protect the surfaces of mechanical equipment. Secondly, Oil is also used for fuel and energy production, such as gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel. In addition, Oil is also used as a raw material in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, paint, plastics and rubber industries.
There are two common methods for preparing Oil: Refining and synthesis. The refining method is to obtain Oil by separating different components from petroleum. The technology is called petroleum refining. The synthesis method is to convert other organic compounds into Oil through chemical reactions, such as hydrogenation, esterification and polymerization.
When using Oil, you need to pay attention to some safety information. First of all, Oil is flammable and explosive, so pay attention to safety during storage and use, and avoid exposure to open flames or high temperatures. Secondly, long-term exposure to Oil may cause certain health effects, such as skin irritation and respiratory problems. Therefore, in contact with Oil, should take appropriate protective measures, such as wearing gloves, goggles and respirators. Finally, the disposal of waste Oil also needs to pay attention to environmental protection requirements. It cannot be directly discharged into the natural environment, but should be properly treated and recycled.
