Description

General description

Petroleum ether is generally a mixture of various volatile, low boiling aliphatic hydrocarbon mixtures. It is commonly used as an extraction solvent for the extraction of hydrophobic lipids. It is also used in silica gel adsorption chromatographic methods for the purification of organic compounds.
