Uses
Hexadecane is a component of gasoline, and is used as a
solvent, organic intermediate, ignition standard for diesel
fuels, and as stock for hydrocracking processes. Employed in industry as Adsorbents, Fuels and fuel additives. Also in Fabric, Textile, and Leather Products. Solvent, organic intermediate, ignition standard for diesel fuels. Fuels and Related Products. Hexadecane is use in the recovery of valuable amines by means of distillation from aqueous alkanolamine solutions, which are extensively used in the gas-processing industries. N-hexadecane was used as a solvent, a gas chromatography comparison sample, and a standard substance for the determination of diesel combustion quality. The cetane number of diesel oil is equal to the body percentage of decabane contained in standard fuel (a mixture of cetane and a-methylnaphthalene) when the combustion quality is the same as that of the diesel under evaluation under specified working conditions. N-hexadecane is used as a gas chromatography reference substance and a fixed solution and solvent. Also used in organic synthesis.
