Isopentane Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Separated from petroleum cracked products or platinum reformed oil. Industrial-grade 2-methylbutane contains impurities such as alkane, naphthene, unsaturated hydrocarbons and moisture with similar boiling points. Unsaturated hydrocarbons are washed and removed with concentrated sulfuric acid; water is removed with dehydrating agents such as anhydrous calcium chloride, phosphorus pentoxide or metallic sodium, or molecular sieve dehydration can also be used; and finally fractionated and refined, and the distillate is purified by high temperature activated silica gel adsorption column Remove traces of linear hydrocarbon impurities. Using pentane as a raw material and catalytic isomerization in a liquid phase at 95°C, 2-methylbutane can be obtained.

Uses

It can be used as solvent for catalyst in polyethylene production, foaming agent for expandable polystyrene, foaming agent for polyurethane foam system, deasphalting solvent, etc.
