General description
Chloroethane is an alkyl halide. Chloroethane (Ethyl chloride) adsorbed on Ag(111) at 100K has been studied using temperature programmed desorption, work function change, ultraviolet and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
Application
- Green solvent in biomaterial extraction: Research highlights the use of Chloroethane as an effective solvent for extracting lignin-containing nanocellulose fibrils from date palm waste, emphasizing its potential in enhancing the sustainability of biomaterial processing (Raza et al., 2024).
Packaging
Supplied in a Sure/Pac™ cylinder and has a 1/4-turn bronze ball valve with a female 1/4" NPT outlet thread (Z122661) installed. Before using the cylinder, ensure that the valve is closed, then remove carbon steel plug that seals the outlet valve.
Compatible with the following:
