Description

General description

Octane is linear alkane that can be synthesized from furfural, a renewable biomass resource. It can undergo catalytic cracking over alkali-treated MFI (Mordenite Framework Inverted) zeolites to mainly form primary cracking products.

Application

• A photonic crystal material for the online detection of nonpolar hydrocarbon vapors.: Research on a novel photonic crystal material aimed at the efficient detection of nonpolar hydrocarbons such as octane, enhancing safety and monitoring in chemical processing environments (Bolshakov et al., 2022).
