What is a natural resource used to make polypropylene?
Answers
Answer:
resource: ethylene, which is made from ethane, which comes from natural gas. also water for processing, natural gas for furnaces, additives for making specific types of plastic
equipment: all types of equipment typical for an oil refinery ( furnaces, pumps, valves, pipes, chemical reactors, filters, boilers, tanks, conveyor belts)
safety: the raw materials are all flammable and explosive. they are always kept inside piping or tanks until they react to form solid plastic. operators are highly skilled and follow procedures so they don't make mistakes. there is an emergency shutdown in case of a dangerous situation at the plant. This button sends all the flammable chemicals to a far away burner where they can burn and don't hurt anybody.
