Included activities starts

The activity starts with the production and import of "Diethylene glycol" in this region.

Included activities ends

The activity ends with providing the "Diethylene glycol" to the consumers of this product. Transportation is included; however, product losses during transport are negligible and therefore not included.

Description

This is a market dataset representing the consumption market in the region. It includes transportation of the product from the factory gate to consumption, with transport services calculated according to the regional transportation conditions for the product.

Activity Description

The production process of diethylene glycol includes steps such as using naphtha cracking as raw material to produce ethylene, chlorination reaction, saponification reaction, crude distillation, and purification distillation.

Process Description

Diethylene glycol, with the chemical formula C4H10O3 and CAS number 111-46-6, is a colorless, odorless, clear, hygroscopic viscous liquid with a sweet, pungent taste. It is non-corrosive and of low toxicity. Diethylene glycol can be used as a gas dehydration agent, aromatic hydrocarbon extraction solvent, and a key raw material in polyurethane synthesis, as well as a solvent and humectant. It can also serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds, fragrances, and pharmaceuticals.
