Included activities starts

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

Included activities ends

The activity ends with providing the "triethylene 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 triethylene glycol includes steps such as using naphtha cracking as raw material to produce ethylene, chlorination reaction, saponification reaction, crude distillation, and rectification.

Process Description

Triethylene glycol, also known as triglycol or diethylene glycol, has the molecular formula C6H14O4 and is an organic compound. It appears as a colorless or slightly yellow, transparent, viscous liquid, odorless with a sweet taste. It is miscible with water in any proportion and soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, propanol, toluene, and carbon tetrachloride. It is combustible, highly hygroscopic, and non-corrosive to metals, plastics, and rubber.
