Product performance:
Colorless combustible gas. Insoluble in water, easily soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform and other hydrocarbons.
Product use:
In addition to being directly used as fuel, n-butane is also used as solvent, refrigerant and raw material for organic synthesis. Butane is dehydrogenated to butene or butadiene in the presence of catalyst. Isobutane is formed into isobutane in the presence of sulfuric acid or anhydrous hydrofluoric acid. Isobutane is dehydrogenated to isobutene. Isobutane can react with olefins as alkylating agent to produce branched chain hydrocarbons with good antiknock performance. Butane can be prepared into maleic anhydride, acetic acid and acetaldehyde by catalytic oxidation; Halogenated butane can be prepared by chemical Book halogenation; Nitrobutane can be obtained by nitration; Carbon disulfide can be produced by catalysis at high temperature; Hydrogen can be produced by steam conversion. In addition, butane can also be used as motor fuel admixture to control volatile components; It can also be used as heavy oil refining deasphalting agent; Wax precipitant in oil well; Overflow agent for secondary oil recovery, resin foaming agent, refrigerant for converting seawater into fresh water, olefin agent, Geller polymerization solvent, etc.
