What reactions can n-hexane be used as a solvent for? And the purity and consumption of n-hexane?
Thread Content
According to available information, n-hexane has many uses; in addition to being used as a solvent for extracting vegetable oils, it is also employed as a solvent in polymerization reactions. I would like to know which specific polymerization reactions n-hexane is used in as a solvent – the information mentions the production of cis-butyl rubber, as well as the production of polyethylene and polypropylene. Could you provide more details on these? What are the purity requirements and the amount of n-hexane required for these reactions?
Have you looked into this question, OP?
