General description

Chloroethane is an alkyl halide. Chloroethane (Ethyl chloride) adsorbed on Ag(111) at 100K has been studied using temperature programmed desorption, work function change, ultraviolet and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Application

  • Green solvent in biomaterial extraction: Research highlights the use of Chloroethane as an effective solvent for extracting lignin-containing nanocellulose fibrils from date palm waste, emphasizing its potential in enhancing the sustainability of biomaterial processing (Raza et al., 2024).

Packaging

Supplied in a Sure/Pac cylinder and has a 1/4-turn bronze ball valve with a female 1/4" NPT outlet thread (Z122661) installed. Before using the cylinder, ensure that the valve is closed, then remove carbon steel plug that seals the outlet valve.

Compatible with the following:
For instructions please refer to technical bulletin AL-136: The Aldrich Sure/Pac Cylinder System
