Petrochemistry

From hydrocarbons to the materials of modern life, this book traces the feedstocks, platform molecules, processes, and industrial chains linking oil and gas to plastics, fibers, solvents, detergents, paints, medicines, electronic components, and construction materials. It also examines industrial risks, emissions, waste, recycling, substitution, and possible transformation pathways without reducing petrochemistry to either a defense or an indictment.
