CAS 68476-34-6

:

Fuels, diesel, no. 2

Description:
Fuels, diesel, no. 2, identified by the CAS number 68476-34-6, is a complex mixture primarily composed of hydrocarbons derived from the distillation of crude oil. This fuel is characterized by its relatively high energy density, making it suitable for use in diesel engines. It typically contains a range of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, with carbon chain lengths generally between C10 and C20. Diesel No. 2 is known for its higher viscosity and lower volatility compared to gasoline, which contributes to its efficiency in compression ignition engines. Additionally, it has a higher cetane number, indicating better ignition quality. The fuel may also contain additives to improve performance, reduce emissions, and enhance stability. However, it is important to note that diesel No. 2 can contribute to environmental pollution, including particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, necessitating regulations and advancements in cleaner technologies. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its flammability and potential health hazards associated with prolonged exposure.
