Description

Decane is an alkane hydrocarbon with the formula C10H22. It is a colorless, odorless liquid that is found in petroleum and is a component of gasoline. Decane is used as a solvent, a fuel, and a component of jet fuel. It is also used in the production of plastics and other chemicals. Decane is not known to have any significant effects on human health. It is a relatively unreactive compound, and it does not readily react with other chemicals. Decane is studied for its potential use as a biofuel. It is also studied to understand the chemical and physical properties of alkanes. Decane is a relatively common and abundant hydrocarbon, making it a potential source of energy. '

"Decane, a 10-carbon n-alkane and one of the highest vapor phase constituents of jet propellent-8 (JP-8), was selected to represent the semivolatile fraction for the initial development of a physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for JP-8."( Development of a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model for decane, a constituent of jet propellent-8.
