Petrochemicals

Subject: Chemistry

Book: General Chemistry

Petrochemicals are chemical products derived from petroleum or natural gas, forming the basis of numerous materials (plastics, synthetic fibers, rubbers). Processes like cracking, reforming, and polymerization yield monomers (ethylene, propylene) and intermediates (benzene, toluene). Petrochemicals are key to modern economies but face challenges related to sustainability, environmental impact, and fluctuating raw material availability.
