Description

Application
Heptane is commonly used as a non-polar solvent in laboratories and industries and as a reference fuel in determining octane ratings of gasoline.

Purpose
Its main purpose is to serve as a standard for measuring fuel performance and as a solvent for extracting and dissolving non-polar substances.

General Description
n-Heptane serves as a primary reference fuel (PRF) for determining the octane rating of fuels used in internal combustion engines. Various studies have explored its oxidation mechanisms and kinetics using flow reactors shock tubes and rapid compression machines. Its thermal decomposition has been examined under varying temperature and pressure conditions. Additionally the oxidative dehydrogenation of n-heptane over magnesium oxide-supported vanadium catalysts has been investigated.
