Base materials for aromatic chemicals

The chemical industry meets its demand for carbon-containing feedstocks for the production of organic compounds from fossil raw materials - coal, oil and natural gas - as well as from renewable raw materials. [Pg.27]

In the selection of a raw material, availability and chemical nature are deciding factors. Olefinic and aliphatic chemicals such as ethylene, propylene and methanol are therefore produced from crude oil fractions and suitable natural gas, whereas polynuclear aromatics such as naphthalene, anthracene and pyrene are recovered almost exclusively from coal-derived raw materials. Mononuclear aromatics such as benzene, toluene and xylene occupy a medial position, being obtainable from both crude oil and coal feedstocks. Renewable raw materials are, owing to their chemical structure, particularly suitable for the production of compounds containing oxygen. [Pg.27]
