Description
This dataset is a market dataset, representing the consumption market of the region; the dataset includes the transport of the product from the gate to the consumer end, and the transport service is calculated according to the transport situation of this product in this region. Liquid paraffin can be used as a base for ointments, liniments and cosmetics; the dataset contains the main raw and auxiliary materials, energy consumption, atmospheric emissions (particulate matter) and waste of the product production process, and does not include infrastructure such as the manufacture of production equipment and the construction of plant buildings; the data inventory is formed by merging data from multiple sources; the production activities of this product include hydrofining and rectification.
Activity Description
The production activities of this product include hydrorefining, distillation and other processes.
Process Description
Liquid paraffin is a colorless, transparent oily liquid that does not show fluorescence when viewed in sunlight. It is odorless and tasteless at room temperature and has a slight petroleum odor when heated. Density 0.86-0.905 (25°C), insoluble in water, glycerin, and cold ethanol. Soluble in benzene, ether, chloroform, carbon disulfide, and hot ethanol. It can be mixed with most fatty oils except castor oil, and camphor, menthol, and most natural or artificial musks can be dissolved. The main components are C16-C20 n-alkanes.

Technology comment
The raw material heavy alkane fraction required for the hydrorefining process of liquid paraffin usually comes from two sources, namely the crude oil refining route and the coal-to-Fischer-Tropsch synthesis route. The raw materials in this data set are a weighted combination of the two sources.
