Cracked Fuel Oil

Product Summary

Cracked fuel oil is a liquid produced together with ethylene via naphtha cracking and it has the highest boiling point of all naphtha cracking fractions. It is mainly used as a raw material for carbon black, needle coke, etc.

Characteristics

Characteristics of cracked fuel oil (mixture)

  • Boiling point: 300ºC    Flash point: 78-97ºC    Ignition point: 350-380ºC

Naphthalene

  • Boiling point: 218ºC    Melting point: 80.2ºC
  • Naphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic made up of two benzene rings fused together, and is a clear/white sublimable crystal.
  • Azulene, an isomer of naphthalene, is a compound consisting of a fused seven- and five-membered ring. Naphthalene is more susceptible to electrophilic substitution than benzene, and most of the resulting compounds are important intermediates for dyes.

Biphenyl

  • Boiling point: 254ºC    Melting point: 69ºC
  • Biphenyl is an aromatic hydrocarbon made up of two benzene rings connected by a single bond, and is also called diphenyl. It is used as an antifungal agent for citrus fruit (food additive).

Properties

Brown or dark brown viscous liquid
