Introduction

hexane, chemical formula C6H14, is the sixth member of alkanes.

hexane is a commonly used non-polar organic solvent with a gasoline odor, and is widely used in chromatography.

n-hexane as a good organic solvent, is widely used in chemical organic synthesis, mechanical equipment surface cleaning decontamination and other links. But it has a certain degree of toxicity, through the respiratory tract, skin and other ways to enter the human body, long-term contact can lead to the human body Head Pain, dizziness, Fatigue, limb numbness and other symptoms of chronic poisoning, severe can lead to fainting, loss of consciousness, and even death.
