Naphtha is a general term for refined, partially unrefined, or unrefined petroleum compounds that distill below 240\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
This cut is considered a volatile oil component that is used as a solvent or in the production of gasoline and aromatic compounds. It is similar to gasoline in terms of boiling range and number of carbon atoms. In another definition, naphtha is a cut obtained from the atmospheric distillation of crude oil. It is between the gas cuts and kerosene. This cut contains molecules with a number of carbon atoms between 5 and 12, which generally include paraffins, olefins, naphthenes and aromatics. There are also compounds such as sulfur, nitrogen, oxygen, water, salt and a number of metal compounds such as vanadium, nickel and sodium.<\/p>\n
Naphtha can be divided into light and heavy categories based on the compounds present and the number of carbon atoms in their structure.<\/p>\n
Naphtha is generally colorless, but may appear pale yellow in the presence of aromatics.<\/p>\n
Light: Generally has molecules with 5-6 carbon atoms that boil at 30-145 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n
Heavy: Consists mainly of molecules with 7-12 carbon atoms and have a boiling point between 140 and 205 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n
In general, paraffin compounds have the least boron and aromatic compounds have the strongest boron.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
