The isomerization of paraffinic heptanes presents still more difficult problems, and no successful method has been found for suppressing the side reactions. 

The data shown in Figure 3.11(a) indicates that the reaction in a solution of the lowest viscosity (hexane) is under kinetic control the functions l/r — 1 and ux — 1 are both linear and indistinguishable as in Eq. (3.75). In contrast, the data in Figure 3.11 (7 ) prove that the reaction in viscous paraffin/heptane solvents are diffusion-controlled in full agreement with Eq. (3.76), the concentration dependence of l/r is strongly nonlinear, unlike that of ux.

Open-chain saturated hydrocarbons have the generic names alkanes and paraffins. In this article, terms such as hexanes, heptanes, and octanes are synonymous with C, C, and Cg alkanes, respectively, and do not refer to the straight chains of 6 carbons, 7 carbons, and 8 carbons, as defined in the lUPAC system. 

Bitumen Insoluble in Paraffin Maphtha (AASHPO T46). This test designated by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) is used to indicate the content of naphtha-insoluble asphaltenes in an asphalt. Other solvents such as / -heptane (ASTM D3279), / -hexane, and / -pentane have been substituted for the naphtha solvent. 

The simplest form of ternary RCM, as exemplified for the ideal normal-paraffin system of pentane-hexane-heptane, is illustrated in Fig. 13-58 7, using a right-triangle diagram. Maps for all other non-azeotropic ternary mixtures are qiiahtatively similar. Each of the infinite number of possible residue curves originates at the pentane vertex, travels toward and then away from the hexane vertex, and terminates at the heptane vertex. 

Paraffins are straight or branched chain hydrocarbons having the chemical formula C ii2 +2- The name of each member ends with ane examples are propane, isopentane, and normal heptane (Figure 2-1). 

The heptane insoluble (ASTM D-3279) method is commonly used to measure the asphaltene content of the feed. Asphaltenes are clusters of polynuclear aromatic sheets, but no one has a clear understanding of their molecular structure. They are insoluble in C3 to paraffins. The amount of asphaltenes that precipitate varies from one solvent to another, so it is important that the reported asphaltene values be identified with the appropriate solvent. Both normal heptane and... 

This means, in practice, that when employing a polar solvent with n-heptane (or any other paraffin for that matter) to reduce the retention, there will be a dramatic reduction in retention over the concentration range of about 0-2%w/v. However, subsequent changes in solute retention with polar solvent concentration will be relatively small. This will be true for any polar solute and was experimentally verified by Scott and Kucera for solutions of ethyl acetate, tetrahydrofuran and n-propanol in n-heptane. The very sensitive relationship between solvent concentration and retention at very low concentrations makes the phase system very difficult to make reproducible. This problem is one of the factors that deter analysts from using silica gel as a stationary phase for the separation of polar solutes. It is very satisfactory, however, for the separation of polarizable and weakly polar substances that can be eluted by paraffin/methylene dichloride or similar types of solvent mixtures. 

As a result of its highly polar character, silica gel is particularly useful in the separation of polarizable materials such as the aromatic hydrocarbons and polynuclear aromatics. It is also useful in the separation of weakly polar solute mixtures such as ethers, esters and in some cases, ketones. The mobile phases that are commonly employed with silica gel are the n-paraffins and mixtures of the n-paraffins with methylene dichloride or chloroform. It should be borne in mind that chloroform is opaque to UV light at 254 nm and thus, if a fixed wavelength UV detector is being used, methylene dichloride might be a better choice. Furthermore, chloroform is considered toxic and requires special methods of waste disposal. Silica gel is strongly deactivated with water and thus, to ensure stable retentive characteristics, the solvent used for the mobile phase should either be completely dry or have a controlled amount of water present. The level of water in the solvent that will have significant effect on solute retention is extremely small. The solubility of water in n-heptane is... 

A non-acidic isomerization catalyst system has unexpectedly emerged from recent studies by French workers [4] in the area of Mo-oxycarbides. Although at an early stage of development, these new materials exhibit high selectivities for the isomerization of paraffins such as n-heptane. An alternative non-carbenium ion mechanistic route to achieve isomerization of higher alkanes could potentially overcome some of the limitations of conventional solid acid based catalyst systems. 

Alkanes (also called normal paraffins or n-paraffins). These constituents are characterized by branched or unbranched chains of carbon atoms with attached hydrogen atoms, and contain no carbon-carbon double bonds (they are saturated). Examples of alkanes are pentane (C5H12) and heptane (C7H16).

A simple spreadsheet, such as Microsoft Excel, can serve as the foundation of a database that has forward and reverse search capabilities. For instance, a table of normal alkanes, together with their densities, boiling points, and melting points, can serve as the starting point. If we want to know all the normal paraffins that boil between 0 and 40 C, all we have to do is to do a sort operation on the boiling-point column and obtain the result that the only paraffin that is in the range is normal heptane with a boiling point of 36.1 °C. For the more advanced Boolean search of normal alkanes that boil between 0 and 40 °C AND melt between —40 and 0 °C, it would be a far more laborious task in a spreadsheet.
