What are the raw materials used for producing pentane (n-pentane, cyclopentane, isopentane)?
It is generally a C5 feedstock from refineries, an fraction that lies between liquefied gas and gasoline.
The extractor oil from the reforming unit contains relatively high amounts of n-pentane and isopentane, while the amount of cyclopentane varies significantly depending on the properties of the crude oil.
It is generally the C5 fraction obtained after the cracking of ethylene; it contains a considerable amount of olefins that can be hydrogenated to increase their concentration
