Description

General description

EMPLURA^® is our low-cost alternative to high-purity qualities. With EMPLURA we offer a range of solvents for a plurality of basic applications in non-regulated industries and for less demanding applications, preparative laboratory work and cleaning purposes. EMPLURA solvents provide adequate specifications with the most important parameters.

Application

• Ginkgo Biloba L. Exocarp Extracts: Utilizing petroleum benzine for solvent extraction, this research explores the anti-microbial potential of Ginkgo biloba L. exocarp extracts against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, indicating its significant role in pharmaceutical applications (Wei et al., 2024).



• Creating Mesopores in ZSM-5 Catalyst for Aromatics Production: This application of petroleum benzine in the synthesis of biodiesel-derived waste glycerol showcases innovative use in catalytic processes to enhance aromatic production, beneficial for both environmental and industrial chemistry (Kumar et al., 2024).



• High-Speed Countercurrent Chromatography for Bioactive Neolignan Isomers: Demonstrating the use of petroleum benzine in chromatographic techniques, this method significantly aids in the isolation of complex organic compounds, crucial for advanced research in natural product chemistry (Xiao et al., 2024).



• Hydrocarbon Ingestions and Poison Control: While indirectly related, the study uses data on hydrocarbon ingestions to emphasize the importance of safety and environmental impact assessments in the use of petroleum products, including benzine, within public health contexts (Palmer et al., 2023).
