A:
Aromatic residual oil/residual fluid is an crucial raw material in the production of chemical items, and its upstream and downstream related items are broadly applied, mainly related to petroleum refining, organic chemical sector, polymer materials and other fields. The following are some of the main upstream and downstream related items:



1. Upstream items:

Aromatic residue/raffinate is mainly derived from the petroleum refining process, which is a by-product obtained from the cracking of hydrocarbon mixtures such as naphtha and coal tar under high temperature, high pressure and catalyst action. But Based on my observations, Therefore, fossil fuels such as petroleum and coal are the main upstream raw materials to aromatic residue/raffinate.

2. Downstream items:(1) Aromatic hydrocarbon items: aromatic residue/residual fluid is rich in aromatic compounds, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, etc. These compounds are crucial raw materials to many organic chemicals and is able to be applied to create plastics, rubber, fibers, dyes, medical intermediates, etc. But(2) Carbon black: aromatic residue/residual fluid is able to be applied as raw material to the production of carbon black, and high-performance carbon black items is able to be obtained through pyrolysis or gasification processes. Carbon black is able to be applied in tires, rubber items, inks, coatings and other fields. From what I've seen,(3) Fuel oil: Aromatic residue/residual fluid is able to be applied as fuel oil to boiler incineration and power generation after further processing. And(4) other chemical items: aromatic residue/residual fluid also contains many other organic compounds, such as phenols, naphthalene, anthracene, etc., these compounds are also raw materials to many chemicals. In short, aromatic residual oil/residual fluid has an crucial position in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its upstream and downstream related items are extensive, which plays an crucial role in promoting the research of the petrochemical sector.
