Mostly a mixture of hydrocarbon from 8 to 20 carbon atoms. The principal 8 carbon atoms hydrocarbon being the octane, main componant of the car gas. But the exact composition of naphta can vary and depend of the origin of the crude oil from witch it has been distilated.

What is the difference between sour naphtha and sweet naphtha?

Light and Heavy naphthas are intermediate refinery products used as feedstocks to platformer units for the production of high octane motor gasoline blending components.Petroleum is considered "sweet" if it contains less than 0.5% sulphur. Sour crude oil has >0.5% sulphur. Sweet crude oil also contains small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2).

Clays are hydrous aluminum silicates with trace amounts of other elements like calcium, iron, and magnesium.


What is the calorific value of sludge in waste water?

Basically, calorific value of any sludge depends on its constitution. Since sludge is not defined composition wise, its accurate calorific value doesn't exist. And another important factor which affects the calorific value is the end product that's generated out of sludge. eg if biogas is generated, then calorific value would be 22,000 kJ/Nm3 (http://www.currenta.com/pages/1577/life_2008_final_engl.pdf) topic open for discussion!!


How do engineered materials differ from natural materials?

Engineered materials can differ from natural materials in many ways. Engineered ones are made for specific purposes, some to have more tensile strenght like steel and kevlar, others to be more ductil like the elastomers, others to resist to higher temperatures like the ceramics on the space shuttle, others to conduct electricity like silicon based transistors, and so on. They also differ on composition. Engineered materials can be a mix of natural materials (and by this i mean that occur in the nature without human intervention) and man-made, or only man-made materials.

Is naphtha and kerosene the same?

Kerosene is a derivative of the petroleum distillation, between 150 0C and 250 0C. Naphtha is also a derivative of the petroleum distillation, between 50 0C and 200 0C. But the chemical composition of naphtha and kerosene are not totally identical.

What is unstabilized naphtha?

Unstabalized naphtha (also known as light naphtha) consists of the light components of a crude oil distillation which have not yet had the C4 components removed from it. Unstabalized naphtha is fed to a tall distillation column (approximately 20-30 trays) known as a debutanizer where all C4 components (and any lighter boiling point components) are removed. The bottom product of a debutanizer is stabilized naphtha.
