The role and application of the butane gas

The role and application of the butane gas chemical flammable, mixed with air to form explosive mixture, heat and flame is in danger of burning explosion. Contact with the oxidant violent reaction. The lower part of the gas is heavier than air, can spread to quite far away, in the fire will fire back to combustion. Functions and USES n-butane except directly used as fuel, also used as a solvent, cooling agent and organic synthetic raw material. Butane in the presence of catalyst dehydrogenation generate butene or butadiene, in sulfuric acid or heterogeneous become isobutane, in the presence of anhydrous hydrofluoric acid catalytic dehydrogenation of isobutane generated isobutylene, isobutane with olefins reaction can be used as an alkylating agent antiknock performance good branched chain hydrocarbons. Butane by catalytic oxidation to maleic anhydride, acetic acid, aldehyde, etc; The halide can be halogenated butane; The nitrification can get nitro butane; Under the high temperature catalytic can making carbon disulfide, The steam reforming hydrogen. In addition, butane to do motor fuel admixture to control the volatile component; Also can do heavy oil refining deasphalting agent; Wax precipitating agent in oil Wells; Flush for secondary oil recovery agent, resin, foaming agent, sea water into fresh water cooling agent, and the agent of olefin polymerization solvent, etc.
