Product Description
Ferrocene, or his (Cyclopentadieny) iron, is an organometallic compound. Formula: Fe (C5H6)2. It is orange-yellow flake crystals with the smell of camphor at room temperature. Melting point: 172 ~ 174 ˇăC. Insoluble in water. Soluble in benzene, ether, gasoline, diesel and other organic solvents. It is chemically stable and does not react with acid, base and ultraviolet. It does not decompose below 400ˇăC and is harmless to man.

Product Feature
When ferrocene is burned together with various fuels mentioned above over 400ˇăC, active iron ions are released which fiercely react with the oxygen in air to form active a - FezOs molecules, a - FezOs, as a burning-promoting catalyst for various fuels, can speed up the burning and make the combustion complete. More over, Addition of ferrocens in various fuel oils can increase the fraction of lower molecules, lower their fire point, complete the combustion, enhance combustion efficiency, elevate burst pressure of engines and improve dynamic performance of the vehicles. Ferrocene is also a lubricant at higher temperature and thus inhibits mechanical abrasion. Ferrocene is both a chemical catalyst and a high-temperature lubricant. With combustion takes place in engine, combination of all these actions results in fuel oil saving, smoke abatement, power increase and speed enhancement.

Application
(1) Fuel additive for burning-promoting, smoke-abatement and energy-saving: It can be used in various fuels, such as diesel gasoline, heavy oil and coal, Addition of 0.1% ferrocene into engine diesel leads to fuel saving by 10~14 %, increase of vehicle speed by 10%, power output by 10 ~13 % and reduction of smoke in tail gas by 30~80 %. Furthermore, addition of 0.03% in heavy oil and 0.02% in coal can also cause reduction of fuel requirement and smoke (by over 30%).

(2) Additive in synthetic gasoline and synthetic LNG: Addition of 0.01 ~0.50% ferrocene and related additives in synthetic gasoline results in 80#, 85# and 90# synthetic gasoline reformulations; Addition of 0.03% in methanol can reformulate synthetic LNG with fuel value of 33472~ 38656 KJ/Kg; Addition of 0.005~0.080% in methanol- ethanol mixture can reformulate a new highly-efficient civil fuel.

Addition of ferrocene in various fuel considerable benefits energy-saving, smoke abatement, pollution control, inhibiting mechanical abrasion and prolonging life of the machines.

(3) Antidetonator:

Ferrocene can be used as gasoline antidetonator instead of tetraethyl lead to get rid of the contamination and poisoning to man by the lead in tail gas and form high-grade lead-free gasoline. For example, addition of 0.0166~0.0332 g/L ferrocene and 0.05~0.10 g/L tert-butyl acetate can increase octane number by 4.6~6.0.

(4) Polymerization and Ammonia synthesis catalysts and silicone resin and rubber curing agent: Some derivatives of ferrocene can inhibit the degradation of polyethylene by light. When used in agricultural film, they can promote its auto-degradation and self -destruction within certain period so that farming and fertiliser application are not influenced. More over, ferrocene can also be used as the protecting agent of polyethylene, polypropylene and polyester fibres to improve the thermal stability of plastics, rubber and fibres.

(5) Ferrocene can be used as burning rate catalyst of rocket propellant in cosmonantic industry.

(6) Ferrocene can be used as the raw material of antib iotic and blood-nourishing agents.
