What Sectors Are Dependent & Get Benefits Out Of It?
Let us have a
look at some of the common
industrial chemicals used in
industries
Ammonia: Used as a
scrubbing solvent for removing
pollutants from the combustion
streams of fossil fuels because
being released into the
atmosphere.
Sodium
Hydroxid: An alkaline
substance used in soap and dyes
manufacturing. Being a good
cleansing agent, it can also be
used for neutralizing acids.
Phosphoric Acid: Mainly used in the production of
fertilizer. Also used in the
manufacturing of food products
and soft drinks.
Chlorine: Used for
manufacturing titanium dioxide
and bleaching agents.
Sodium
Carbonate: Used in
glass making and in the
manufacturing of many cleansing
agents. Also known as soda ash, it
can be mined from the trona ore,
or can be manufactured by
reacting sulfuric acid and salt.
Nitrobenzene: Primarily used for the
manufacturing of aniline, used as
a rubber additive for preventing
oxidation.
Aluminum
Sulfate: Used in
wastewater and paper treatment
industries as pH buffer.
Nitric Acid: Most
commonly used to react with
ammonia to form solid fertilizer
ammonium nitrate.
Urea: Commonly used in the
production of fertilizers. Some can
also be used in manufacturing of
livestock feed.
Benzene: Benzene is
used as a reactant for producing
cumene and ethylbenzene. It is
also a common organic solvent as
a precursor for cyclohexane.
Vinyl Chloride: Monomer form of PVC or polyvinyl
chloride, it is used as a building
material.
Methanol: Used as
reactant for the making of methyl
tertbutyl ether, acetic acid and
formaldehyde.
Xylene: Primarily used for
manufacturing phthalic anhydride,
used for making a variety of
polymers and plasticizers. Xylene
is also used for manufacturing
terephthalic acid, the polyester
feedstock.
Terephthalic
Acid: Exclusively used in the
manufacturing of polyester or
polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
Hydrochloric
Acid: Mainly used in the
production of other chemicals by
acting as a catalyst of reactant.
Also used in the pickling of steel
and also in the pharmaceutical
industry.
Acetic Acid: Primarily
used for the manufacturing of
vinyl acetate monomer and acetic
anhydride.
Phenol: Used for
manufacturing of phenolic resins,
caprolacturm and bispenol-A.
