Economic importance of Aliphatics

The use of aliphatics, particularly hexane, heptane and isohexane, in the processing and manufacturing industries plays a central role and has a significant impact on various sectors of the economy. These aliphatics, also known as alkane hydrocarbons, are widely used and have significant levels of consumption.A striking example of the use of hexane, an aliphatic with six carbon atoms, is in the production of solvents for the food industry. Every year, around 800,000 tons of hexane are used in the manufacturing industry for this purpose. This solvent plays a crucial role in the extraction of oils and fats from seeds and plant materials, which in turn is crucial in the production of food.Heptane, an aliphate with seven carbon atoms, is used in chemical analysis and as a cleaning agent. Around 500,000 tons of heptane are consumed annually in the manufacturing industry. It is mainly used in laboratories for analytical purposes, but also in the pharmaceutical and electronic industries where the highest standards of purity are required.Isohexane, an isomeric aliphate of hexane, is used primarily in the production of fuels, particularly as an octane improver in gasoline. Every year, around 1.2 million tonnes of isohexane are used in the manufacturing industry to produce fuels. This specific use is crucial as it helps increase the efficiency of internal combustion engines and therefore drives demand for high octane fuels.International trade in hexane, heptane and isohexane plays a crucial role in the global economy. For example, last year a total of 3.5 million tons of these aliphatics were exported to various countries, highlighting their importance in global trade. These export figures show the competitiveness of aliphatics on the international market.In summary, aliphatics, especially hexane, heptane and isohexane, contribute significantly to economic activity in various industries. Their diverse applications and continued consumption make them an essential part of the modern economy, especially in the food industry, chemicals, energy sectors and more.
