Naphthenic acids

Description:

Naphthenic acids are a complex mixture of cyclopentane and cyclohexane carboxylic acids, primarily derived from petroleum sources. They are characterized by their alicyclic structure, which includes one or more carboxylic acid functional groups attached to saturated ring systems. Naphthenic acids are typically colorless to yellowish liquids with a characteristic odor and are soluble in organic solvents but have limited solubility in water. Their molecular weight can vary significantly due to the presence of various isomers and structural forms. These acids are known for their corrosive properties, particularly in the presence of metals, and can pose challenges in industrial applications, especially in refining processes. Naphthenic acids are utilized in various applications, including the production of surfactants, lubricants, and as intermediates in the synthesis of other chemicals. Additionally, they can be involved in environmental concerns due to their potential toxicity and persistence in ecosystems. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate their environmental impact.

Naphthenic acid

CAS: 1338-24-5

Naphthenic acid is a metal chelate that is used in synchronous fluorescence spectroscopy. It has been shown to have biodegradation properties and can be used as an indicator for water quality. Naphthenic acid has been found to be a potent inhibitor of corrosion and is often used as an additive to petroleum products, such as gasoline, that are made from crude oil. Naphthenic acid also has acute toxicities and can cause toxicity studies on humans. It is able to inhibit energy metabolism in cells by binding to the mitochondrial membrane, which may be due to its ability to bind with benzalkonium chloride. Naphthenic acid can also be used for analytical methods, such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, because it has high sensitivity and specificity.
