Description
Propylene can be used to produce chemical products such as polypropylene, acrylonitrile, and propylene oxide; this dataset includes major raw materials, auxiliary materials, energy inputs, atmospheric emissions, waterborne emissions, and waste from the production process. Infrastructure such as production equipment and facility construction is not included within the system boundary of the dataset; the life cycle inventory data are sourced from literature. Propylene production activities from crude oil refining include processes such as raw material pretreatment, cracking reaction, separation, purification, and packaging.

Process Description
Propylene is an organic compound with the molecular formula C3H6. It is a colorless, odorless gas with a slightly sweet smell. It is flammable and produces a bright flame when burned, with an explosive limit in air of 2% to 11.1%. It is insoluble in water but readily soluble in ethanol and ether.
