Case Study – From Crude Oil to Plastics

This case study explores the processes involved in separating the components of crude oil and their subsequent conversion into plastics. It details how distillation allows for the separation of hydrocarbons based on their boiling points, leading to the production of various petroleum distillates. The origin of plastics from these distillates is explained, along with the definition of organic compounds. Additionally, the study addresses the volatile compounds that evaporate first, practical applications for petroleum distillates, their safe usage, and potential new uses for innovative plastics.
