Bitumen is known for its waterproofing and adhesive properties and is commonly used in the construction industry, notably for roads and highways. Production occurs through distillation, which removes lighter crude oil components like gasoline and diesel, leaving the heavier bitumen behind.
Bitumen deposits can also occur naturally at the bottom of ancient lakes, where prehistoric organisms have decayed and been subjected to heat and pressure.
Caustic soda or Caustic Soda Prill or Caustic Soda Flakes is also known as sodium hydroxide(NaOH) and Lye. This name is given because of the corrosive nature of the salt on plant tissues and animals. It is a versatile alkali. It is an extremely alkali and caustic base that deteriorates proteins at ordinary ambient temperatures and also causes serious chemical burns. Sodium hydroxide is a white solid ionic compound comprise of hydroxide anions OH- and sodium cations Na+.
Application & Usage:
In the Paper Industry, caustic soda is normally in the form of lye to separate the lignin that ties the fibers in the chemical pulping process. It is also used for paper recycling operations.
In the refining of edible oil, sodium hydroxide is utilized as a neutralizer to remove free fatty acids that can give the oil an annoying taste.
In the Petroleum Processing refineries, caustic soda is used for an alkalinity source in the liquid scrubbing of Sulphur dioxide in flue gases manufacture from crude-oil-fired steam generators used in thermally enhanced oil recovery. It allows the SO2 scrubber to run at a lower pH with a higher SO2 removal proportion. This process is called desulfurization.
In the mining and refining, the alumina is manufactured from bauxite, it is an ore that is extracted from topsoil in different tropical and subtropical regions using The Bayer he Bayer. To extract alumina, bauxite is crushed, washed, and dried. After that, it will be dissolved with sodium hydroxide at very high temperatures. Alumina is extracted in the form of sodium aluminate. To produce aluminum it required multiple processes to get that.
In the water treatment process, Caustic soda is very helpful in the pH neutralizing and adjustment of water streams. It is also used to raise the pH of water supplies.
In different industries, sodium hydroxide is often used as a cleaning agent. Especially for sterilization and cleaning of bottles in the beverage industry.
In chemical processing, caustic soda(NaOH) is used for delivering sodium to its final form and reactive agent in the production process and for many various purposes. It is also used to produce silicates and meta-silicates, bleach, fibers, also in food processing.
Refined glycerin offers moisturizing and emulsifying functionalities; these properties make it aneffective additive in various personal care and home care formulations. Crude glycerin can reduce freezing point and raise viscosity in a variety of industrial formulations.
Butyl di glycol (also known as BDG, butyl dioxitol, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, 2(-2butoxyethoxy) ethanol and butoxydiethylene glycol) is a colourless, clear liquid with a faint characteristic odour, and the formula C8H18O3. It is soluble in water and miscible with many common solvents, and also has low volatility and a high boiling point. These are the factors that make butyl di glycol most useful in the paint industry.
Diethylene glycol (DEG) is an organic compound with the formula (HOCH2CH2)2O. It is a colorless, practically odorless, and hygroscopic liquid with a sweetish taste. It is a four carbon dimer of ethylene glycol. It is miscible in water, alcohol, ether, acetone, and ethylene glycol. DEG is a widely used solvent. It can be a contaminant in consumer products; this has resulted in numerous epidemics of poisoning since the early 20th century.
Monoethylene glycol (MEG) in its pure form, it is an odorless, colorless, syrupy liquid with a sweet taste.
It can be used for applications that require
chemical intermediates for resins, solvent couplers, freezing point depression, solvents, humectants and chemical intermediates. These applications are vital to the manufacture of a wide range of products,
including resins; deicing fluids; heat transfer fluids; automotive antifreeze and coolants; water-based adhesives, latex paints and asphalt emulsions;
electrolytic capacitors; textile fibers; paper and leather
Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is a polyether compound derived from petroleum with many applications, from industrial manufacturing to medicine. PEG is also known as polyethylene oxide (PEO) or polyoxyethylene (POE), depending on its molecular weight. The structure of PEG is commonly expressed as H (OCH2 CH2) OH.
Triethylene glycol is a member of a homologous series of dihydroxy alcohols. It is a colorless, odorless and stable liquid with high viscosity and a high boiling point. Apart from its use as a raw material in the manufacture and synthesis of other products, TEG is known for its hygroscopic quality and its ability to dehumidify fluids. This liquid is miscible with water, and at standard atmospheric pressure (101.325 kPa) has a boiling point of 286.5 �°C and a freezing point of -7 C. It is also soluble in ethanol, acetone, acetic acid, glycerine, pyridine, aldehydes; slightly soluble in diethyl ether; and insoluble in oil, fat and most hydrocarbons.
Butyl di glycol (also known as BDG, butyl dioxitol, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, 2(-2butoxyethoxy) ethanol and butoxydiethylene glycol) is a colourless, clear organic compound with a faint characteristic odour that has the formula C8H18O3. It is soluble in water and miscible with many common solvents, and also has low volatility and a high boiling point. These are the factors that make butyl di glycol most useful in the paint industry.
Butyl glycol (also known as BG, 2-butoxyethanol, glycol monobutyl ether and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, butyl cellosolve, butoxyethanol) is a clear, colourless, oily liquid with a unique sweet yet mild odour and has the formula C6H14O2. It is a butyl ether of ethylene glycol and is miscible with water and common organic solvents. It has been produced industrially for over half a century and is used primarily as a solvent in paints and surface coatings but also in inks and cleaning products.
DCM, an organic compound, is a colourless volatile liquid with a sweet smell. It is miscible with a variety of solvents. Its volatility makes it useful as a solvent in various chemical processes. It is used in a wide variety of industrial applications. DCM is the least toxic compound of the simple chlorohydrocarbons and is not flammable. It is even used in the food industry to decaffeinate coffee and tea.
Palm oil, obtained from the fruits, is used in making soaps, cosmetics, candles, biofuels, and lubricating
greases and in processing tinplate and coating iron plates.Palm kernel oil, from the seeds, is used in
manufacturing such edible products as margarine, .ice cream, chocolate confections, cookies, and
bread, as well as many pharmaceuticals
Soap noodles are the main ingredient used in the production of soap bars. Soap noodles are the sodium salt of fatty acids from vegetable oil or animal fats. Applications include soaps for toilet, laundry and multi-purpose products.Soap noodles also vary in colour from white to yellow.
