Description

• General description: Heptane (n-Heptane) is an alkane hydrocarbon. It is a primary reference fuel (PRF) employed for determining the octane number of fuels in internal combustion engines.[1] Its cetane number and octane number has been reported to be 56 and 0 respectively.[1][2] Its thermal decomposition has been studied under different conditions of temperature and pressure.[3] Its oxidative dehydrogenation in the presence of magnesium oxide supported vanadium catalyst has been investigated.[4] Molybdenum phosphide supported on Hβ zeolite (MoP/Hβ) catalyzed hydroisomerization of n-heptane has been reported to be enhanced by doping with secondary metals (Cr, Ni or Ce).[2]
