Propane (C3H8)
Propane (C3H8) or dimethyl methane is an alkane that is mainly used as a combustion energy source in internal combustion engines or boilers. It is primarily released from natural gas purification or liquefied petroleum gases separation. Propane is industrially used as a reactive agent for the synthesis of ethylene, benzene, toluene or xylene.
Propane effects on health
When pure, Propane (C3H8) is a colourless and odourless gas. Ethanethiol – an odorant – is added to easily detect any gas leak. Propane is harmful by inhalation and causes oxygen depletion. It can be found gaseous at ambient temperature but it also can liquefy under a pressure of around 10 bars. Its combustion is clean and generates water and carbonic gas.
CAS-number: 74-98-6.
