Raw Material for 1-Decene
According to the 1-decene production plant project report, the various raw materials for 1-decene production include ethene and triethylaluminium catalysts.
Production Process of 1-Decene
The extensive 1-decene production cost report consists of the following major industrial production processes:
- Production from ethene: ethene undergoes oligomerization in the presence of triethylaluminium catalyst forming an alpha-olefin mixture. Finally, the mixture undergoes fractional distillation forming 1-Decene.
1-Decene has the function of a metabolite. It is a natural substance present in Tussilago farfara, Zanthoxylum zanthoxyloides, as well as in other organisms. It is a watery liquid that appears colorless and has a pleasant smell. It reacts vigorously with strong oxidizing agents and exothermically with reducing agents to release hydrogen gas. Its molecular weight is 140.27 u. Its melting and boiling points are -66.3 °C and 169 °C, and its flash point is 118 °F. Its density and vapor density are 0.741 g/mL at 25 °C(lit.) and 4.84 (vs air). It floats on water and is insoluble in it.
