Hexane is an alkane and exists in 5 structural isomeric forms i.e. hexane isohexane 3-methylpentane neohexane and 2 3-dimethylbutane. It can be obtained from petroleum by distillation. It can also be produced by electrolyzing the potassium butyrate SOLUTIONon. It is widely employed organic solvent for the disSOLUTIONon and isolation of fats and oils.

Hexane (n-hexane) is an alkane that can be obtained from petroleum by distillation. It can also be produced by electrolyzing the potassium butyrate SOLUTIONon. It is widely employed organic solvent for the disSOLUTIONon and isolation of fats and oils. Its thermodynamic properties and kinetics of thermal decomposition have been studied over a range of temperature. A study on the zeolite supported platinum catalyzed isomerization and aromatization of n-hexane has been reported. Its removal from hexane contaminated air streams using vapor phase biological reactor (VPBR) immobilized with hexane-degrading Aspergillus niger strain has been studied. The metabolism of n-hexane forms 2 5-hexanedione (2 5-HD) which is reported to induce neurotoxicity.
