What is ACENAPHTHYLENE?

Description

Acenaphthylene is a PAH with three aromatic rings. It is an intermediate chemical for the manufacture of dyes, soaps, pigments, pharmaceuticals, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, plant growth hormones, naphthalic acids, naphthalic anhydride (pigments), and acenaphthylene (resins) and is used to manufacture plastics. The largest emissions of PAHs result from incomplete combustion of organic materials during industrial processes and other human activities. These include (1) processing of coal, crude oil, and natural gas, including coking, coal conversion, and petroleum refining; (2) production of carbon blacks, creosote, coal tar, and bitumen; (3) aluminium, iron, and steel production in plants and foundries; (4) heating in power plants and residences and cooking; (5) combustion of refuse; (6) motor vehicle traffic; and (7) environmental tobacco smoke.

The Uses of ACENAPHTHYLENE

Acenaphthylene has been used to investigate the photodimerization of acenaphthylene in micellar and hydrogel media.
