As crystalline paraffine could be obtained from ozokerite by distillation alone, many persons have supposed that it was engendered in the process.
The name proto-paraffine has been given to ozokerite and to the paraffine of petroleum in contradistinction to pyro-paraffine, the name that has been applied to the paraffine obtained by distillation from any source.
So as petroleum residues are amorphous, and the crystalline paraffine is first produced by distillation, it has been argued that the paraffine present in crude petroleum is approximately the same thing as ozokerite.
It is well known that the paraffine obtained by the distillation of petroleum residues is crystalline, while that obtained directly (as in the filtration of residuum) is amorphous.
The acid is then neutralized and the paraffine extracted by petroleum ether.
For the present, however, the extraction of proto-paraffine on a large scale by means of such solvents as amyl and ethyl alcohols is out of the question on account of their cost.
Now, paraffine is not a substance defined by characteristic physical properties which distinguish it from the liquid portions of petroleum.
The question now arises, What value has this determination of the proto-paraffine which may exist in an oil?
When determinations of the amount of paraffine are to be made, then it becomes necessary to specify with exactness what is to be called paraffine.
The method proposed by Zaloziecki for the determination of paraffine is the following: The most volatile portions of the petroleum are separated by distillation, until the thermometer shows 200° C.
Hence it has been asked, Is the paraffine occurring in petroleum and ozokerite identical with that which is produced by their distillation?
The change effected in ozokerite and in petroleum residues when crystalline paraffine is obtained by distillation is to be regarded as a purification, and can be effected partially by treatment with amyl alcohol.
Young, soon after, in 1850, patented paraffineoil made from coal.
