General description

Pentane (n-pentane) is a hydrocarbon. Its hydroisomerization using a nanocrystalline beta (BEA) zeolite has been proposed. It has been reported as one of the products formed from the peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acid.

Application


  • Proton Affinities of Alkanes.: This study explores the proton affinities of various alkanes, including pentane, using mass spectrometry. The findings provide valuable data for understanding the reactivity and stability of alkanes in different chemical environments. (Fu et al., 2022).

  • Gas Digital Microfluidic Platform: Application to Highly Volatile Compound Preconcentration.: This paper presents a digital microfluidic platform designed for the preconcentration of highly volatile compounds, such as pentane. The platform significantly improves the detection limits and analytical performance in volatile organic compound analysis. (Enel et al., 2022).

  • Impact of Chemical and Physical Properties of Organic Solvents on the Gas and Hydrogen Formation during Laser Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles.: This research examines how the chemical and physical properties of solvents, including pentane, affect gas and hydrogen formation during the laser synthesis of gold nanoparticles. The study provides insights into optimizing synthesis conditions for nanoparticle production. (Fromme et al., 2023).
