Naphthenic Acid Market Drivers, Growth Opportunities and Forecast to 2021 “Naphthenic acids (mostly mono or dicyclic cycloalkane carboxylic acids, e.g., cyclopentane carboxylic acid) are components of naphthenic crude oils. Being corrosive, they have to be removed from crude oils or distillates by alkali extraction in the distillation process. Naphthenic acid is a dark coloured liquid with an unpleasant door. Naphthenic acid is insoluble in water.� The global Naphthenic Acid market is classified on the basis of product type, application and geography. Naphthenic acids (mostly mono or dicyclic cycloalkane carboxylic acids, e.g., cyclopentane carboxylic acid) are components of naphthenic crude oils. Being corrosive, they have to be removed from crude oils or distillates by alkali extraction in the distillation process. The separated naphthenic acids are marketed as acidic extractants for metals and naphthenates are used as metallic soaps. Naphthenic acid is a dark coloured liquid with an unpleasant door. Naphthenic acid is insoluble in water. Naphthenic acids will burn though naphthenic acids may take some effort to ignite. The main hazard is the threat to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit its spread to the environment. Since Naphthenic acids is a liquid, naphthenic acids can easily penetrate the soil and contaminate groundwater and nearby streams. Naphthenic acid is used to make paint dryers, detergents, and solvents. Browse Full Research Report @ https://www.millioninsights.com/industry-reports/naphthenic-acid-market Naphthenic acids are usually obtained by caustic extraction of petroleum distillates boiling between 200 and 370 degree C. A continuous process has been developed for removing naphthenic acids from refinery streams by caustic washing. Caustic extraction also removes other acidic constituents of the petroleum fraction.
