Raw Materials and Energy Sources

This chapter gives an overview of the main raw materials of the chemical industry as well as important energy sources with regard to the following aspects  [Pg.408]

Increasing environmental concerns and dwindling supplies of raw materials and energy sources mean that there is now a significant pressure to introduce cleaner processing in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. [Pg.4]

Currently, biodegradable plastics are considered to be eco-friendly because they can be broken down by the action of microorganisms in the environment. However, from the viewpoints of raw materials and energy sources, bio-based polymers have been produced from plant biomass. Unfortunately, at this point, bio-based polymers produced from edible sources such as com and sugar can generate new social problems. Furthermore, since bio-polyethylene has already been produced from bioethanol, some bio-based materials are not biodegradable plastics. [Pg.397]
