Nounpetrochemicals
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Petrochemicals are chemical products made from raw materials of petroleum or other hydrocarbon origin. Although some of the chemical compounds that originate from petroleum may also be derived from other sources (such as coal or natural gas), petroleum is a major source of many. This article is mainly intended to discuss organic compounds or materials that are not burned as fuel (see also Petroleum product). The two main classes of petrochemical raw materials are olefins (including ethylene and propylene) and aromatics (including benzene and xylene isomers), both of which are produced in very large quantities. At oil refineries, olefins are produced mainly from hydrocarbons by processes such as fluid catalytic cracking and steam cracking. At oil refineries, aromatic hydrocarbons are mainly produced by catalytic reforming or similar processes. From these basic building blocks is made a very wide range of chemicals and other materials used in industry - monomers, solvents, detergents, and adhesives. From the monomers, polymers or oligomers are produced for plastics, resins, fibers, elastomers, certain lubricants, and gels. World production of ethylene is around 110 million tonnes per annum, of propylene 65 million tonnes, and of aromatic raw materials 70 million tonnes. The largest petrochemical industries are to be found in the USA and Western Europe, though the major growth in new production capacity is in the Middle East and Asia. There is a substantial inter-regional trade in petrochemicals of all kinds. Primary petrochemicals are divided into three groups depending on their chemical structure:

They're actually Dutch in origin, even though they have several offices here in Houston. Look up Royal Dutch Shell or go to their web site: My mother contracts there. She makes a nice tidy few extra bucks to enjoy in her retirement. One of my grad school classmates works there (her husband does, too).

As it is there are so many petrochemicals that it would take several tomes to list the bad effects on the environment of all of them. Now it you could be more specific; such as asking; "What are the bad effects of benzene on the environment?"; then a specific answer could be given.

Q. ethylene, propylene, ...etc. Asked by sam s - Sun Jan 21 22:56:36 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Prices for these commodities can change from day to day. One suggestion is looking at a publication called Chemical Market Reporter. They publish prices on a weekly (I think) basis, but you will need a subscription or access through a library or business that has one.
