Chemicals from Coal-Derived Synthetic Crude Oils... 

The hydroprocessing data for the COED coal-derived synthetic crude oil has been reduced to the point where the chemicals available from the distillate fractions of that oil can be determined see Table XI).

Surfactants are produced by various chemical routes, using either natural or synthetic raw materials as shown in Fig. 36.18. Natural raw materials include fats and oils derived from vegetable and animal sources. Synthetic raw materials include coal, crude oil, and natural... 

It is a fact of modern society that many ordinary items of everyday use are obtained from complex chemical processes. Life-saving drugs, capsules and tablets, as well as perfumes, are derived from coal. From crude oil and petroleum gases, we obtain fertilisers, plastics, synthetic rubbers, pesticides, detergents, fabrics and coatings and paints. From seawater we can produce vital heavy chemicals including caustic soda, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid and so on.
