Hexane, chemical formula C6H14, is the sixth member of the alkane. Hexane is a commonly used colorless and odorless organic solvent and is widely used in chromatography. As a good organic solvent, n-hexane is widely used in chemical organic synthesis, cleaning and decontamination of machinery and equipment. However, it has certain toxicity and can enter the human body through the respiratory tract and skin. Long-term exposure can cause chronic poisoning symptoms such as headache, dizziness, fatigue, numbness of the limbs, etc., which can lead to fainting, loss of mind, and even death.
