What are the major petrochemicals processes to form the intermediate compounds (second generation petrochemicals), with examples?
Petrochemicals, produced from petroleum, can be classified as olefins and aromatics. Olefins include ethylene, propylene, and butadiene which are raw materials for making plastics. Aromatics include benzene, toluene, and xylene which are raw materials for making dyes and synthetic detergents.
