What are the upstream raw materials for n-paraffins? What are the downstream products?

From what I've seen, n-paraffin has an crucial position in the field of chemical production raw materials, and its upstream and downstream related items are extensive. The following are some common upstream and downstream related items of n-paraffins:



1. Upstream items:(1) Oil and natural gaseous: n-paraffins are mainly extracted from oil and natural gaseous, and n-paraffins of different carbon chain lengths are obtained through refining and separation processes.(2) Coal: Through coal chemical methodology, coal is able to be converted into synthesis gaseous, and then further synthesis of healthy paraffin. Crazy, isn't it?.

2. Downstream items:(1) Fuel: n-paraffin is able to be applied as fuel, such as gasoline and diesel in petroleum, with high energy and clean incineration characteristics. You know what I mean?.(2) solvent-based products: n-paraffin is able to be applied as a solvent-based products, such as n-hexane, n-heptane, etc., to extraction, separation and dilution process. Generally speaking(3) Lubricating oil: n-paraffin is able to be applied as base oil to create lubricating oil, with good lubricity and low temperature fluidity.(4) Petrochemical raw materials: n-paraffins is able to be further converted into other petrochemical raw materials, such as olefins, aromatics, etc., to the production of plastics, rubber, fibers and other items. In short, n-paraffins have a wide range of applications in the field of chemical production raw materials, and their upstream and downstream related items involve fuels, solvents, lubriis able tots, petrochemical raw materials and other fields, which are of great signifiis able toce to promoting economic research and improving people's lives.
