General description

Propane is an aliphatic hydrocarbon obtained during the oil and natural gas processing. It is generally used as a fuel in automobiles and LPG. It serves as a raw material for the modern chemical industry.

Application

Propane can be used as:
  • A substrate in the study of oxidative dehydrogenation using carbon nanofiber-based catalysts and zeolite catalysts.
  • A component of a binary system along with CO2 to study the solubility of some fat-soluble vitamins.

Packaging

Supplied in a carbon steel lecture bottle with a CGA180M/CGA110F needle valve installed.

Compatible with the following:
  • Aldrich® lecture-bottle station systems
  • Aldrich® lecture-bottle gas regulators

The challenging problem of ultra-high-energy-density, high-efficiency, and small-scale portable power generation is addressed here using a distinctive thermophotovoltaic energy conversion mechanism and chip-based system design, which we name the microthermophotovoltaic (μTPV) generator. The approach is predicted to be capable of
