propán
Propane, chemical formula C3H8, is a saturated hydrocarbon in the alkane family. It is widely sold as part of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), a mixture of propane and other light hydrocarbons such as butane. At atmospheric pressure propane is a gas, but it can be compressed into a liquid for storage and transport. The liquid is colorless and odorless, but gas supplies are odorized to aid leak detection.
Propane is produced during the refining of crude oil and during natural gas processing. It is separated
Properties include a boiling point of about -42°C, making it easy to liquefy at modest pressures. It
Uses: Propane is a common fuel for residential heating and cooking in areas without natural gas distribution,
Storage and handling: Propane is stored under pressure in steel cylinders or tanks. Cylinders require regulators,
Safety and environment: Propane is highly flammable and an asphyxiant in enclosed spaces. Combustion releases carbon
