Question

What are examples of heavy chemical in chemical industry

Answer 1

Answer:

Products include salt, chlorine, caustic soda, soda ash, acids (such as nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and sulfuric acid), titanium dioxide, and hydrogen peroxide. Fertilizers are the smallest category (about 6 percent) and include phosphates, ammonia, and potash chemicals.

Answer 2

Sulfuric acid, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Ethylene, Propylene are some of the examples of heavy chemicals in chemical industries.

Explanation:

Sulfuric acid ($H_{2}SO_{4}$):

• Removing impurities during refining of petroleum
• Removing metallic oxides prior to electroplating and metal galvanizing
• Removing water during chemical reactions
• Acting as a reactant in the manufacture of rayon and nitroglycerine

Nitrogen ($N$₂):

• In the manufacture of steel and other metals
• In cooling concrete, which further improves the properties of the building material

• In freezing soggy ground, further making construction easier.

Ethylene (C₂H₄):

• To manufacture ethanol for industrial uses.
• To produce polyester
• To produce synthetic rubber
