Petroleum ether is the petroleum fraction consisting of aliphatic hydrocarbons and boiling in the range 35–60 °C, and commonly used as a laboratory solvent.[4] Despite the name, petroleum ether is not an ether.

Properties

[edit]
litre bottle

Petroleum ether consists mainly of aliphatic hydrocarbons and is usually low in aromatics. It is commonly hydrodesulfurized and may be hydrogenated to reduce the amount of aromatic and other unsaturated hydrocarbons.[5]

Standards

[edit]

DIN 51630 has an initial boiling point above 25 °C, and its final boiling point up to 80 °C.[5]

Safety

[edit]

Fires should be fought with foam, carbon dioxide, dry chemical or carbon tetrachloride.[2]

The naphtha mixtures that are distilled at a lower boiling temperature have a higher volatility and, generally speaking, a higher degree of toxicity than the higher boiling fractions.[6]

Inhalation overexposure causes primarily central nervous system (CNS) effects (headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and incoordination). In general, the toxicity is more pronounced with petroleum ethers containing higher concentrations of aromatic compounds. n-Hexane causes axonal damage in peripheral nerves.[3]

Skin contact can cause allergic contact dermatitis.[3]

Petroleum-derived distillates have not been shown to be carcinogenic in humans.[6] Petroleum ether degrades rapidly in soil and water.[3]

Despite its name, it is not a true but a historical due to its properties resembling those of . It typically has a boiling range of 40–60 °C, a of approximately 0.65–0.67 g/mL, and is insoluble in , making it a non-polar ideal for laboratory and industrial applications. The composition of petroleum ether can vary by fraction, generally including C5 to C7 hydrocarbons with minimal aromatic content, and it exhibits a gasoline- or kerosene-like odor. It is highly flammable, with a flash point below -20 °C and vapor pressure of approximately 280 mmHg (20 °C), necessitating storage in cool, well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources. Health risks include skin and eye irritation upon contact, respiratory effects from inhalation, and potential aspiration hazards if swallowed, classifying it as a hazardous substance under regulatory guidelines. In , petroleum ether is extensively used for extractions of non-polar compounds such as , fats, oils, and waxes from natural sources, as well as for recrystallizations and as a mobile phase in thin-layer and . Industrially, it finds applications in pharmaceutical processing for isolating active ingredients, in and thinning, and in the purification of organic compounds via absorption . Its low toxicity relative to other solvents and ability to dissolve a wide range of non-polar substances contribute to its continued prominence despite environmental concerns over petroleum-derived products.

Overview

Definition

Petroleum ether is a volatile, non-polar mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons obtained through the of , with a typical boiling range of 35–60 °C. It serves primarily as a , valued for its ability to dissolve non-polar substances effectively. Unlike true ethers, which contain an oxygen atom linking two alkyl or aryl groups, petroleum ether is entirely hydrocarbon-based and lacks any ether functional group. The name "petroleum ether" derives from its origin in petroleum and its ease of evaporation, which resembles the volatile nature of diethyl ether, despite the chemical dissimilarity. This historical nomenclature highlights its solvent-like behavior rather than its composition.

Nomenclature and Synonyms

Petroleum ether is known by several synonyms that reflect its composition as a light fraction and its use as a . Common alternative names include , benzine (distinct from ), light , and VM&P (varnish makers' and painters' ), with specifically referring to fractions boiling in the 60–110°C range and often considered interchangeable with petroleum ether. The term "petroleum ether" is a historical designation originating in the 19th century, adopted to highlight its volatile, ether-like properties akin to diethyl ether, despite lacking an ether functional group; informal abbreviations such as "pet ether" persist in laboratory contexts. Regional variations in nomenclature further distinguish the substance: in the United Kingdom, it is commonly termed petroleum spirit, while in German-speaking areas, equivalents like Siedegrenzenbenzine or Benzin denote similar low-boiling petroleum distillates.

Composition and Production

Chemical Composition

Petroleum ether is a complex mixture of predominantly aliphatic hydrocarbons, consisting mainly of C5 to C7 alkanes such as pentanes, hexanes, and heptanes in straight-chain, branched, and cyclic forms. The mixture is characterized by low aromatic content, typically less than 1% , to minimize health risks associated with aromatic compounds. The composition of petroleum ether varies based on the crude oil source and refining processes used in its production. Commercial grades may contain up to 5% n-hexane in standard formulations, though low-n-hexane variants are available with less than 5 wt% to reduce concerns. Additionally, many grades undergo to eliminate compounds, resulting in sulfur levels below 0.5 wt%. Refined petroleum ether lacks olefins, being composed exclusively of saturated hydrocarbons, which contributes to its stability as a solvent. The proportions of individual hydrocarbons can shift depending on the specific boiling point specification.

Production Methods

Petroleum ether is primarily obtained through fractional distillation of crude oil in petroleum refineries. Crude oil is heated to approximately 350–400 °C in a furnace and introduced as vapor into a fractionating column operating at atmospheric pressure, where components separate based on boiling points. The light naphtha fraction, boiling in the range of 35–60 °C, is collected as the overhead product, consisting mainly of aliphatic hydrocarbons suitable for solvent use. Following initial , the light undergoes to meet purity standards for industrial and applications. Hydrodesulfurization removes sulfur compounds using a cobalt-molybdenum at 315–430 °C and 300–1000 psi hydrogen pressure, reducing sulfur content to below 0.1% by converting thiophenes and mercaptans to . then saturates aromatic hydrocarbons, minimizing their concentration to less than 1%, followed by redistillation to precisely narrow the boiling range and remove impurities. Alternative sources include byproducts from or catalytic cracking processes and residues, which are similarly treated to isolate the desired fraction. On an industrial scale, petroleum ether is produced as a side product in oil refineries worldwide, with global naphtha output of approximately 280 million metric tons annually as of 2025. Recent innovations focus on sustainability, such as solvent extraction techniques applied to oil refinery sludge to recover light hydrocarbon fractions, reducing waste and environmental impact while supplementing traditional production.

Properties

Physical Properties

Petroleum ether is a colorless with a characteristic gasoline-like or kerosene-like . This appearance and smell arise from its composition as a volatile mixture, making it suitable for applications requiring rapid evaporation. The of petroleum ether varies depending on the specific grade and range, typically falling between 35–60 °C at standard . Denser grades may have slightly higher ranges, such as 40–60 °C or 42–62 °C, reflecting differences in the hydrocarbon chain lengths present. Its is approximately 0.63–0.66 g/cm³ at 20 °C, which contributes to its low and ease of handling in settings. The is around 1.36–1.37 at 20 °C, a value consistent with its non-polar aliphatic nature. Petroleum ether exhibits high volatility, with a of approximately 200–400 mmHg at 20 °C, enabling quick dispersion into the air. Its is below -20 °C, often as low as -30 °C to -40 °C, indicating extreme flammability under ambient conditions. In terms of , it is immiscible with but fully miscible with most organic solvents, such as and , due to its hydrophobic character. The evaporation rate of petroleum ether facilitates its use in extractions where rapid solvent removal is desired.

Chemical Properties

Petroleum ether, consisting primarily of saturated aliphatic hydrocarbons, exhibits low chemical reactivity under standard laboratory conditions, remaining inert toward most common reagents, including acids and bases. It demonstrates chemical stability when stored properly, with no significant decomposition occurring at ambient temperatures and pressures. However, it may react with strong oxidizing agents, such as nitric acid or chlorine, potentially leading to combustion or other exothermic reactions. As a highly flammable substance, petroleum ether has an of approximately 280–288 °C, igniting spontaneously above this threshold in the presence of air. Upon , it undergoes complete oxidation to produce and , following the general reaction for alkanes: CnH2n+2+(n+n+12)O2→nCO2+(n+1)H2O\mathrm{C_nH_{2n+2} + \left(n + \frac{n+1}{2}\right) O_2 \rightarrow n CO_2 + (n+1) H_2O} This behavior underscores its role as a where controlled flammability is managed through protocols. High-purity grades of petroleum ether are characterized by low content (typically ≤0.02% as S) and minimal aromatic hydrocarbons (often <1%), which minimize the risk of unwanted side reactions, such as sulfur-induced or aromatic-initiated , in sensitive applications. Its volatility facilitates efficient extractions in settings, as detailed in relevant usage sections.

Standards and Specifications

Regulatory Standards

In the United States, the (OSHA) regulates petroleum ether as a hazardous under 29 CFR 1910.106, which governs the handling, storage, and use of such substances with s below 200°F (93°C). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classifies petroleum ether under the (RCRA) as a characteristic if it exhibits ignitability, designated as waste code D001 for materials with a less than 60°C. For occupational exposure, OSHA sets a (PEL) for petroleum distillates, including naphtha-like fractions akin to petroleum ether, at 100 ppm (400 mg/m³) as an 8-hour time-weighted average (). Internationally, petroleum ether, as a mixture of , falls under the European Union's REACH (EC) No. 1907/2006, requiring registration, evaluation, and authorization for substances manufactured or imported in quantities exceeding 1 per year. REACH Annex XVII imposes restrictions on content in hydrocarbon mixtures, exempting certain classifications as carcinogens if levels are below 0.1% w/w; this limit applies to consumer products and articles to mitigate health risks. Regulatory evolution for petroleum ether intensified in the 1980s amid growing evidence of , a key component in some grades, prompting shifts toward safer formulations. The American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) reduced the (TLV) for n-hexane from 100 ppm to 50 ppm in 1981, influencing OSHA's subsequent lowering of the PEL from 500 ppm to 50 ppm by 1989 to address risks from chronic exposure. These changes spurred industry adoption of low-n-hexane petroleum ether grades, with n-hexane content limited to under 0.1% in many commercial solvents by the late 1980s to comply with updated occupational health standards.

Quality Specifications

Petroleum ether quality specifications ensure consistency in its use as a , focusing on purity, volatility, and absence of contaminants that could affect performance or safety. These specifications are primarily governed by the (ACS) reagent grade standards, which define limits for key physical and chemical properties to verify suitability for and industrial applications. The boiling range is a critical , typically specified as 35–60 °C for standard grades, with at least 90% of the material distilling within this interval and a tolerance of ±5 °C to account for minor variations in production. Residue on evaporation, measured after complete volatilization, must not exceed 0.001% (10 ppm), ensuring minimal non-volatile impurities that could leave contaminants in extractions or reactions; this is tested per ASTM D1353. Acidity is required to be neutral, passing tests such as ASTM D1093, with limits often set at ≤0.0003 meq/g to prevent interference in sensitive chemical processes. Impurity limits are stringent to minimize health risks and ensure compatibility. content is capped at ≤2 ppm via (GC), as higher levels could pose carcinogenic hazards. Total aromatics are limited to <1% for industrial grades but often <0.02% in laboratory versions to avoid UV absorption issues. compounds, measured as S, must be <5 ppm per ASTM D5453, reducing potential. Color is specified as ≤10 APHA (Platinum-Cobalt units, per ISO 6271) or equivalent to a minimum Saybolt +30, indicating clarity and absence of colored impurities via ASTM D1209 or D6045.

Certification typically involves gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis to confirm composition and impurity profiles, ensuring traceability and compliance with pharmacopeial or regulatory expectations.

Applications

Laboratory and Industrial Uses

Petroleum ether serves as a key non-polar in laboratory settings, particularly for extracting non-polar compounds such as from biological samples. It is commonly employed in extraction techniques, including the Soxhlet method, where it effectively dissolves and isolates fats and oils from tissues or matrices due to its aliphatic composition. In , this application is standard for determining crude fat content, as the solvent's low polarity ensures selective recovery of neutral without extracting polar components. Beyond extractions, petroleum ether functions as a mobile phase in chromatographic separations, such as (TLC) and flash column chromatography, where its non-polar nature facilitates the elution of non-polar analytes like hydrocarbons or on silica stationary phases. It is also utilized in recrystallization processes for purifying organic solids, particularly those with limited in polar solvents, as its boiling range (typically 40–60°C) allows for controlled cooling and crystal formation. Compared to more toxic alternatives like , which is carcinogenic, petroleum ether is often preferred for routine extractions due to its relatively lower health risks in controlled lab environments. In industrial applications, petroleum ether acts as a and degreaser, particularly in production and metal , where it removes oils and residues from and surfaces without leaving contaminants. It is also used as a in the formulation of paints, varnishes, adhesives, and coatings, aiding in adjustment and even application due to its compatibility with non-polar resins. As a of , petroleum ether is produced in large volumes, contributing to the global output of approximately 277 million tons annually, with its specific fraction supporting these solvent demands on a multimillion-ton scale. One key advantage of petroleum ether in both and industrial contexts is its rapid evaporation at low temperatures, which leaves no residue after use, making it ideal for applications requiring clean, dry outcomes, such as in Soxhlet extractions for precise analytical results. This property enhances efficiency in processes like recovery, where post-extraction evaporation ensures sample purity without additional drying steps.

Other Applications

In the early , petroleum ether found niche applications as a volatile component in cosmetic formulations, particularly in lotions designed to dilute the oily texture of oil-based brillantines for products. These formulations leveraged its low viscosity and rapid evaporation to achieve a lighter feel on the skin and . Historically, petroleum ether has been employed in for preparing and maintaining slides, serving as a key ingredient in cleaning solutions to remove immersion oils and residues without damaging specimens.

In emerging applications within , petroleum ether is utilized for extractions, particularly in the purification of through liquid-liquid extraction processes where it facilitates the separation of impurities from crude oils. Its non-polar nature allows efficient recovery of neutral and oxygenated compounds, though ongoing research emphasizes transitioning to bio-based alternatives to enhance . Petroleum ether plays a role in for synthesis, often as a continuous phase in systems. For example, in the preparation of europium-doped (Eu:Y₂O₃) nanoparticles, it is combined with nonionic and metal salts to control particle size and uniformity, yielding materials with applications in phosphors and catalysts. Similarly, plant extracts dissolved in petroleum ether have been used to biosynthesize silver nanoparticles, reducing metal ions under mild conditions for . In pharmaceutical processing, petroleum ether serves as a solvent for the purification of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), enabling the extraction and isolation of non-polar compounds via and techniques. Its selective helps achieve high-purity APIs by removing impurities from crude reaction mixtures, a critical step in . As a niche application in , petroleum ether acts as a carrier in certain and formulations, aiding the dissolution and even distribution of active ingredients for spray applications. Ether-based solvents, including petroleum ether derivatives, enhance the stability and of botanical insecticides derived from plant extracts. In cosmetic formulations, petroleum ether has been used as a volatile base to improve the spreadability and drying time of emollients, particularly in older hair and products. However, its use has been phased out in some regions due to concerns over residual hydrocarbons and potential irritation, with safer bio-based volatiles now preferred.

Safety and Environmental Considerations

For , move victims to and monitor for respiratory distress; wash skin contact areas thoroughly with and ; and for , do not induce vomiting but seek immediate medical attention to address aspiration risks.

Environmental Impact

Petroleum ether, classified as a (VOC), contributes to atmospheric by participating in photochemical reactions with oxides under , leading to the formation of and . These reactions exacerbate urban air quality issues, as VOC emissions from solvent evaporation play a key role in tropospheric production. In aquatic environments, petroleum ether exhibits moderate to high biodegradability, with biodegradation half-lives typically ranging from several days to weeks depending on microbial activity and conditions; for instance, lighter fractions can biodegrade in 7–14 days in . This degradation is facilitated by microbial action on its aliphatic components, though enhanced conditions may accelerate breakdown. The primary release pathways for petroleum ether into the environment occur through during handling and application, resulting in significant air emissions that contribute to volatile loads. Accidental spills, common in industrial and settings, allow the to infiltrate and leach into , where its non-polar components can sorb to sediments and slowly migrate. In aquatic ecosystems, these releases may lead to low-level detection of aliphatic hydrocarbons in organisms such as , though bioaccumulation potential is limited due to rapid volatilization and , with studies showing minimal trophic transfer and trace residual levels in contaminated waters. Mitigation strategies focus on reducing releases and promoting , including the implementation of closed-loop systems that recover petroleum ether via for , achieving up to 90% recovery efficiency in industrial operations. Transitioning to bio-based alternatives, such as derived from renewable feedstocks, provides viable substitutes for extraction and cleaning applications while minimizing VOC emissions and toxicity. Additionally, the of petroleum ether production, rooted in refining, is estimated at approximately 0.2–0.3 kg CO₂ equivalent per kg for the refining stage (as of 2017 data), underscoring the environmental benefits of sourcing from lower-emission pathways. As of 2025, petroleum ether is regulated under frameworks like EU REACH as a VOC, with emission controls in industrial applications to limit environmental releases.
