  Hydrocarbon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For example, methane (swamp/marsh gas) is a hydrocarbon with one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms: CH Ethane is a hydrocarbon (more specifically, an alkane) consisting of two carbon atoms held together with a single bond, each with three hydrogen atoms bonded: C
Each of these hydrocarbons must follow the 4-hydrogen rule which states that all carbon atoms must have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms as it can hold (the limit is four).
Liquid geologically-extracted hydrocarbons are referred to as petroleum (literally "rock oil") or mineral oil, while gaseous geologic hydrocarbons are referred to as natural gas.

 Aromatic hydrocarbon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An aromatic hydrocarbon (abbreviated as AH), or arene is a hydrocarbon, the molecular structure of which incorporates one or more planar sets of six carbon atoms that are connected by delocalised electrons numbering the same as if they consisted of alternating single and double covalent bonds.
After the simplest possible aromatic hydrocarbon, benzene, such a configuration of six carbon atoms is known as a benzene ring.
, is the simplest AH and was recognized as the first aromatic hydrocarbon, with the nature of its bonding first being recognized by Friedrich August Kekulé von Stradonitz in the 19th century.

An alkane in organic chemistry is a saturated hydrocarbon, that is, a hydrocarbon in which the molecule has the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms and so has no double bonds.
Alkynes are hydrocarbons that have at least one triple bond between two carbon atoms.
Hydrocarbons are of prime economic importance because they encompass the constituents of the major fossil fuels (coal, petroleum, natural gas, etc.) and biofuels, as well as plastics, waxes, solvents and oils.

 Emma J. Wraige - Ph.D. Abstract
Plymouth Marine Laboratory, Plymouth, U.K. The occurrence of unresolved complex mixtures of hydrocarbons (UCMs) in the aliphatic fraction of marine sediments and organisms from areas impacted by petroleum hydrocarbons is well documented and widely accepted as an indication of fossil fuel contamination.
In contrast, the presence of an aromatic UCM is often ignored and environmental concentrations of aromatic UCM hydrocarbons in marine biota and sediments are rarely reported.
The aims of this study were to establish the quantitative significance of aromatic UCMs in environmental samples and to assess the toxicological significance of both aliphatic and aromatic UCMs.

 Patent 5138112: Process for converting a C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 aliphatic hydrocarbon to high octane transportable fuel
The dehydrocyclodimerization reaction zone effluent stream is passed to a separator for the separation of benzene and lower boiling hydrocarbons from the dehydrocyclodimerization reaction zone effluent into an isomerization zone feed and the reproduction of an aromatics stream comprising C.sub.7 and higher boiling hydrocarbons.
This feedstream may be combined with recycle stream 12 comprising C.sub.2 -C.sub.5 aliphatic hydrocarbons recovered in the separation zone of the process to produce a combined feedstream 14 to the dehydrocyclodimerization reaction zone 16.
According to the present invention, the C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 aliphatic hydrocarbon feedstream is contacted with the catalytic composite in a dehydrocyclodimerization reaction zone maintained at dehydrocyclodimerization conditions.

 White spirit (EHC 187, 1996)
hydrocarbons with a boiling range of 140-220°C. The low flash grade possesses the highest vapour pressure of approximately 1.4 kPa (10.5 mmHg) at 20°C. A USA variety of type 1 is called Stoddard solvent and is a petroleum distillate defined according to its boiling range of 149-204°C and the absence of rancid or objectionable odours.
When the aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic hydrocarbons were compared, it was noted that although the aromatics produced the highest concentrations in blood they were found in the lowest concentration in brain.
The aliphatic hydrocarbons are known to undergo oxidative conversion, catalysed by monooxygenases, to alcohols.

 Aliphatic
Applied to a large class of organic compounds characterized by an open-chain structure and consisting of the paraffin, olefin, and acetylene hydrocarbons and theirderivatives (as the fatty acids).
In chemistry, hydrocarbon compounds having an open chain structure (this is, non-aromatic) are called aliphatic (synonyms: acyclic, open chain); they include not only the fatty acids and other derivatives of the paraffin hydrocarbons, but also unsaturated compounds, such as the ethylene (alkene) and acetylene (alkyne) series.
Propionic acid from aliphatic acid is also imported as well as varieties of fatty amines, such as isopropyl amine, diisopropylamine, and ethylenediamine.

 Station Information - Aromatic hydrocarbon
An aromatic hydrocarbon (abbreviated as AH), or arene is a hydrocarbon, the molecular structure of which incorporates one or more planar sets of six carbon atoms that are connected by delocalised electrons numbering the same as if they consisted of alternating single and double bonds.
Aromatic hydrocarbons were so named due to their generally intense smell, long before their molecular structure was understood.
He envisioned the delocalised electons rapidly shifting configuration between one of two forms, or resonance structures, in which double bonds rapidly move about the hexagonal ring.

 Bioremediation of Soil Contaminated with Gasoline and a Hydrocarbon Solvent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Although gasoline is readily biodegradable, little was known about the hydrocarbon solvent or whether it could be degraded rapidly by naturally-occurring microorganisms.
Based on the test results, which indicated the inhibitory nature of the hydrocarbon solvent and a doubling of the biodegradation rate by bioaugmentation, the owner selected a solid-phase process using nutrients and a commercial microbial inoculum, as the most cost-effective treatment of the site.
Bioaugmentation was shown to double the mineralization rate of hydrocarbons over the indigenous populations in laboratory pilot tests.

 ALIPHATIC BIOMARKERS IN RECENT SEDIMENTS AND ORGANIC SOURCE MATERIAL FROM LAKE BOSUMTWI, GHANA: IMPLICATIONS FOR ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Although total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and bulk organic matter stable isotopic composition are widely used in paleoclimate reconstructions to identify changes in sources and levels of organic productivity, there are large variances in the chemistry of organic source material that complicate the interpretation of these proxies particularly in lacustrine settings.
This study focuses on a series of aliphatic hydrocarbon biomarkers and how they occur in organic source material and sediments within a productive tropical lacustrine basin.
This result is consistent with the more refractory nature of lipids derived from terrestrial plants compared to aquatic sources, and suggests that the minor aliphatic hydrocarbons may be more indicative of the organic source material than the major n-alkanes (C10-C30).

Step 3: The polymer/porogen mixture in the mold is then immersed in an aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent (e.g., pentane, hexane), which is a nonsolvent for the polymer, for 20 min at 45-50°C. During this step, the porogen and polymer solvent are extracted with concurrent precipitation of the polymer phase.
Polymer foams were produced by using hydrocarbon particulate phases of both spherical and polyhedral morphologies (Table 1).
PLGA and PLLA foams were prepared by using particulate hydrocarbon porogen (fugitive phase) differing in morphology, mean diameter (size distribution), and relative ratio (wt/wt) with respect to the polymer phase.
