Activity Description
Ethylene production activities include 'ethylene, coal-based methanol-to-olefin, industrial grade', 'ethylene, naphtha-based, industrial grade', 'ethylene, bio-based ethanol-to-olefin, industrial grade', 'ethylene, natural gas-based ethane cracking, industrial grade', and 'ethylene, naphtha steam cracking process'. Additionally, ethylene is a by-product of the production processes '1,3-butadiene, one-step method' and '1,3-butadiene, two-step method'; the production activity for this product represents a weighted average of these processes.
Process Description
Ethylene is an organic compound with the CAS number 74-85-1. It is named "ethylene" under IUPAC nomenclature, with the molecular formula C2H4. It is a gas under normal temperature and pressure conditions, with a slight unpleasant odor. It is modeled as a pure substance. At the consumer level, ethylene is used in the following products: 1. Plastic products, as the primary raw material for producing polyethylene, which is widely used in packaging materials, electrical wires, and cables; 2. Synthetic fibers, for manufacturing synthetic fiber products such as polyester fibers; 3. Coatings and adhesives, as raw materials for the production of coatings and adhesives. In industrial settings, this substance is used to manufacture products in the following industries: 1. Chemical industry, for the production of various chemicals such as ethanol, ethylene oxide and ethylene glycol, acetaldehyde, acetic acid, etc.; 2. Agriculture, as a plant hormone to promote fruit ripening and organ abscission; 3. Pharmaceutical industry, for pharmaceutical synthesis and advanced material synthesis.
