Butadiene
Definition Mixed cracker refers to cracker in the refining process which can treat equally ethane or naphtha Comments The cracker is a master piece of the refining process to produce gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and all the building blocks of the petrochemical industry (ethylene, propylene, butadiene and all their respective derivatives) To feed this cracker, usually a […]
Sibur kicks off Russian largest petrochemical complex If Russia is among the biggest producer and exporter of oil and gas, Russia is also a net importer of petrochemical products. In the same way as Russia has multiplied strategic alliances with western companies, such as ExxonMobil, Statoil, ENI, Total to boost its upstream sector, Russia is also […]
BASF to build butadiene extraction plant in Antwerp The butadiene is a monomer and used as an important chemical intermediate to produce elastomers and thermoplastics, such as synthetic rubbers, latex, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene copolymer and polyamide. The tire industry is the main consumers of butadiene. Other applications for butadiene include paper chemicals and plastics production. BASF is […]
Definition NBR stands for Nitrile Butadiene Rubber or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber or Buna-N or Perbunan. NBR is a synthetic rubber which belongs to the family of unsaturated copolymers of 2-propenenitrile and various butadiene monomers (1,2-butadiene and 1,3-butadiene) Comments NBR is produced in an emulsion polymerization system. The water, emulsifier/soap, monomers (butadiene and acrylonitrile), radical generating activator, and […]
Actually Lanxess is completing the construction of a new $400 million Butyl Rubber facility in Singapore to come onstream in 2013. Then it announces the decision to add $200 million more capital expenditure in a new Neodynium Polybutadiene rubber (Nd-PBR) plant in Jurong Island, Singapore. With a capacity of 140 00t/y, Lanxess is targeting the […]
Definition: In the petrochemical industry “C4” refers to the branch of Olefins which begins with C4…. in their chemical formulas. C4 is used to nominated the Butadiene and all its derivatives Comments: Among the C4 family, the mostly used products are the Butylene isomers such as, Isoprene, Butyl Rubber (BTR), Styrene, Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) and […]
The TPC Group is a leader in C4 and C3 hydrocarbons operating world scale dehydrogenation facilities . Processing 30-40% of the CC4 in North America, TPC has multiple units to extract and produce Butadiene at Houston and Port Neches operating facilities. The company declared to “move forward” with studies to restart two idled production units of on-purpose Butadiene and […]
Definition: “Butadiene” is the head of the C4 olefins family. Butadiene is a gas that condensates at -4.5°C. Mainly produced as byproducts from Ethylene by Ethane by steam cracking at high temperature (900°C), the Butadiene can also be obtained by Butane dehydrogenation or from Ethanol. Comments: Butadiene is mostly converted into Styrene Butadiene or Styrene Butadiene Rubber (SBR) more well known as synthetic Rubber Polybutadiene is also used […]
