- Paraffin, the name
given to a mineral wax and oil, and also used as a generic name of a
particular series of hydrocarbons.
- Paraffin is the
common name for the alkane hydrocarbons with the general formula
CnH2n+2.
- Paraffin wax is
mostly found as a white, odorless, tasteless, waxy solid, with a typical
melting point between about 47 °C to 64 °C, and having a density of
around 0.9 g/cm3. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in ether,
benzene, and certain esters.
- Paraffin wax is a
low molecular weight, straight chain hydrocarbon with a low melting
point(120 °F-160°F or 49°C-71°C).
-
Paraffin wax production is based on
slack wax, a mixture of oil and wax, which is a by-product of the
lubrication oil refinery process.
-
The base waxes are hydro-treated,
resulting in Fully Refined Paraffin Waxes (FRP) with an oil content of
maximum 0.5 % and Semi Refined Paraffin Waxes (SRP) with an oil content
up to 3.5 %. Hydro-treated paraffin waxes correspond to RAL Quality Mark
for Candles and fulfil the required food-and-drug
regulations.
-
In Chlorinated Paraffin Wax(CPW)
process the paraffin Wax is melted in a vessel provided with steam
jacket. The molten wax is charged to a glass lined chlorinator jacketed
for steam heating. Dry chlorine gas is introduced to the mass of melted
wax from bottom at regulated rate. The reaction temperature is
maintained at 100oc for 18 to 20 hours. Liberated hydrochloric acid is
absorbed in water in a packed absorption column. The chlorinated product
is mixed with certain additives, filtered, cooled and sent packing in
drums.
-
Paraffin wax was prepared by
melting about 200 g in a stainless steel container on a hot plate at
60oC. When the wax had melted completely, the container was left on the
hot plate at 50oC prior to wax treatment on the fruits and vegetable
fruits.
-
Commercial paraffin wax was used as
phase change material, polyethylene and a copolymer were used as
encapsulating materials. Paraffin wax is a relatively stable and
seemingly innocuous substance without a dangerous goods classification,
it is quite combustible and will burn with intense heat, giving off
black acrid smoke with a high carbon monoxide content.
-
Paraffin is the major source of
energy for the majority of the population in South Africa and is relied
upon as the primary fuel by millions of South Africans for cooking,
heating and lighting. An estimated 685 million litres of paraffin are
used every year for domestic energy in South Africa.
-
Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are
produced in, and imported into, Canada for use as plasticizers and flame
retardants as well as extreme-pressure additives in lubricating oils.
They are persistent compounds and have the potential to bioaccumulate in
aquatic organisms.
-
The n-paraffin market is facing two
unprecedented developments: the potential for large new production
associated with gas-to-liquids (GTL) projects, and modified versions of
linear alkylbenzene that could radically impact the use of
n-paraffins.
-
Worldwide consumption of normal
paraffins is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 3 percent,
from 2.4 million tons in 2000 to 3.2 million tons in
2010.
