Ammonium sulfate
Ammonium sulfate;₂SO₄, is an inorganic salt with a number of commercial uses. The most common use is as a soil fertilizer. It contains 21% nitrogen and 24% sulfur.
Methanol
Methanol is an organic chemical compound and the simplest aliphatic alcohol, with the chemical formula CH₃OH. It is a light, volatile, colorless and flammable liquid with a distinctive alcoholic odour similar to that of ethanol. Methanol acquired the name wood alcohol because it was once produced chiefly by the destructive distillation of wood. Today, methanol […]
Diammonium phosphate
Diammonium phosphate ( DAP; IUPAC name diammonium hydrogen phosphate; chemical formula (NH 4) 2 (HPO 4) is one of a series of water – soluble ammonium phosphate salts that can be produced when ammonia reacts with phosphoric acid.
para-xylene
p-xylene is an aromatic hydrocarbon. It is one of the three isomers of dimethylbenzene known collectively as xylenes. The p- stands for para-, implying that the two methyl groups in p-Xylene occupy the diametrically opposite substituent positions 1 and 4, as illustrated here in the schematic representation. It is in the positions of the two […]
Acetic Acid
Acetic acid, systematically named ethanoic acid, is an acidic, colourless liquid and organic compound with the chemical formula CH₃COOH. Vinegar is at least 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. It has been used, as a component of vinegar, throughout history from at least the third […]
polyethylene
Polyethylene or polythene is the most commonly produced plastic. It is a polymer, primarily used for packaging. As of 2017, over 100 million tonnes of polyethylene resins are being produced annually, accounting for 34% of the total plastics market. Many kinds of polyethylene are known, with most having the chemical formulaₙ. PE is usually a […]
Mixed xylenes
Mixed xylenes refers to a mixture of the xylenes plus ethylbenzene. The four compounds have identical empirical formulas C8H10. Typically the four compounds are produced together by various catalytic reforming and pyrolysis methods. [4] Occurrence and production.
ethylene glycol
Ethylene glycol is an organic compound with the formula₂. It is mainly used for two purposes, as a raw material in the manufacture of polyester fibers and for antifreeze formulations. It is an odorless, colorless, flammable, viscous liquid. It has a sweet taste, but is toxic in high concentrations. This molecule has been observed in […]
polypropylene
Polypropylene, also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications. It is produced via chain-growth polymerization from the monomer propylene. Polypropylene belongs to the group of polyolefins and is partially crystalline and non-polar. Its properties are similar to polyethylene, but it is slightly harder and more heat-resistant. It is […]
Ethylbenzene
Ethylbenzene is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₅CH₂CH₃. It is a highly flammable, colorless liquid with an odor similar to that of gasoline. This monocyclic aromatic hydrocarbon is important in the petrochemical industry as a reaction intermediate in the production of styrene, the precursor to polystyrene, a common plastic material. In 2012, more than […]
