What Is Industrial Chemicals?

There are many types of chemical raw materials, and they have a wide range of uses. There are as many as 5-7 million kinds of chemicals in the world, and more than 100,000 kinds are sold and circulated on the market. More than 1,000 new chemicals come out every year, and 150-200 kinds of them are considered to be carcinogenic things.


Chemical raw materials can generally be divided into two categories: organic chemical raw materials and inorganic chemical raw materials.

Organic chemical raw materials: It can be separated into alkanes and their derivatives, quinones, aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, phenols, ethers, anhydrides, and esters , organic acids, carboxylates, carbohydrates, heterocycles, nitriles, halogenated, amine acyls, and other types.

Inorganic chemical raw materials: The main raw materials of inorganic chemical products are chemical minerals containing sulfur, sodium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and other chemical minerals (see inorganic salt industry), coal, petroleum, natural gas, air, water, etc. In addition, the by-products and wastes of many industrial sectors are also raw materials for inorganic chemicals, such as coke oven gas in the coking production process in the iron and steel industry. The ammonia contained in it can be recycled with sulfuric acid to produce ammonium sulfate, chalcopyrite, and galena. Sulfur dioxide in the smelting waste gas of ore and sphalerite can be used to produce sulfuric acid and so on.

Generally speaking, the chemical industry can be categorized into three types: petrochemicals, basic chemicals, and chemical fiber. Among them, basic chemicals are divided into nine categories: fertilizers, organic products, inorganic products, chlor-alkali, fine and special chemicals, pesticides, daily chemicals, plastic products and rubber products.
