Petrochemistry

Petrochemistry is a field of chemistry which studies the transformation of petroleum and natural gas into useful chemicals products and raw materials. For the national and global economies, the industrial market, which is focused on mineral oils and natural gases, is of significant significance. For a broad variety of essential chemicals, which are eventually refined into fibers, pharmaceuticals, dyes, surfactants, solvents, oils, among many others, biologically use the above natural products as raw materials. Main ingredients of these sources of fossil raw material are particularly aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, processed in petrochemical plants.
