Included activities starts

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

Included activities ends

The activity ends with providing the "Benzene" 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 activities of this product are weighted averaged from "Benzene, catalytic reforming and pyrolysis gasoline hydrogenation" and "Benzene, crude oil refining".

Process Description

Benzene (C6H6), a hydrocarbon and the simplest aromatic compound, has the CAS number 000071-43-2. At room temperature, it is a colorless, transparent liquid with a sweet odor, flammability, and carcinogenic toxicity, featuring a strong aromatic smell. Benzene can be produced via catalytic reforming and pyrolysis gasoline. It is poorly soluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents and can itself serve as an organic solvent. This product is used as a key raw material for synthesizing dyes, rubber, resins, and petrochemical products, as well as for adhesives and industrial solvents, and can also be used in precision optical instruments.
