Petroleum and Petrochemicals

2021
The hydrocarbon sector deserves a separate chapter because of its overwhelming importance as a technology germinator. Coal gas was really a hazard of the g sector, but it became a useful by-product of the coking process and, thus, the iron industry.

Polylactic Acid Technology

, 2000
Polylactic acid is proving to be a viable alternative to petrochemical-based plastics for many applications. It is produced from renewable resources and is biodegradable, decomposing to give H2O, CO2, and humus, the black material in soil.
