Introduction
Octane is an organic compound. Its properties are as follows:
1. Appearance: colorless liquid
4. Density: 0.69 g/cm³
5. Flammability: flammable
Octane is a compound that is mainly used in fuels and solvents. Its main uses include:
1. Fuel additives: Octane is used in gasoline as a standard compound for octane number testing to evaluate the anti-knock performance of gasoline.
2. Engine fuel: As a fuel component with strong combustion capacity, it can be used in high-performance engines or racing cars.
3. Solvent: It can be used as a solvent in the fields of degreasing, washing and detergent.
The main preparation methods of octane are as follows:
1. Extracted from Oil: Octane can be isolated and extracted from petroleum.
2. Alkylation: By alkylating octane, more octane compounds can be synthesized.
1. Octane is a flammable liquid and should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place, away from ignition and oxidants.
2. When using octane, wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, goggles, and protective clothing.
3. Avoid octane contact with skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
4. When handling octane, avoid generating sparks or static electricity that could cause a fire or explosion.
