Quick Summary

Benzine is a term for volatile, flammable petroleum distillates used as solvents or motor fuels. It is a mixture of hexanes, typically boiling between 50°C and 70°C, and is separated from petroleum through distillation. Petroleum itself is a complex mixture of hydrocarbons found in liquid, gaseous, or solid forms, commonly referred to as crude oil. Crude oil primarily consists of carbon and hydrogen, forming various molecular structures. Lighter fractions, like petroleum pentane, distill below 50°C and are used as low-boiling solvents. These distillates are essential components in products like gasoline, which requires specific volatility for engine starting and combustion.123456

oil extraction
…extraction with volatile solvents, especially petroleum benzin (also known as petroleum ether, commercial hexane, or heptane). The solvent is percolated through the meal, dissolving the oil, which is finally recovered from the solution by evaporating the solvent. The solvent is also recovered and used over again.
