Qenos‚ a major Australian chemical manufacturing company located at Botany‚ NSW. The role of a plant chemist working in the polymer industry is concerned with the conversion of ethane to ethylene and the polymerisation of ethylene to polyethylene. Examples of their tasks are: • Monitoring the quality of the ethylene and polyethylene products‚ particularly checking for impurities • Monitoring waste-water from the production process to ensure that environmental standards are being met • Adjusting

Production of materials 1B – identify the industrial source of ethylene from the cracking of some of the fractions from the refining of petroleum Industrial source of ethylene (ethene) * Obtained from Crude oil – fractional distillation * Heated to high temps * Components vaporise and rise up tower where condense and collect * Lower the boiling point‚ higher up tower compound rises * Separates crude oil into fraction each with different boiling range - Catalytic Cracking

design response report to a heat exchanger problem where ethylene glycol and a poor quality feed of water are put through a shell and tube exchanger with the objective of cooling the ethylene glycol feed. A shell and tube exchanger was chosen over several other exchangers due to its high efficient performance and its relative ease of maintenance in processing these fluids. From the data given and specific heat capacity researched for ethylene glycol‚ a MatLab script was constructed to calculate values

industrially practical polyethylene synthesis was discovered (again by accident) in 1933 by Eric Fawcett and Reginald Gibson at the ICI works in Northwich‚ England.[6] Upon applying extremely high pressure (several hundred atmospheres) to a mixture of ethylene and benzaldehyde they again produced a white‚ waxy‚ material. Because the reaction had been initiated by trace oxygen contamination in their apparatus the experiment was‚ at first‚ difficult to reproduce. It was not until 1935 that another ICI chemist

Core 1 summary notes 1) Fossils fuels provide both energy & raw materials such as ethylene‚ for production of other substances Identify the industrial source of ethylene from the cracking of some of the fractions from the refining of petroleum Catalytic cracking is the process whereby high molecular weight fractions are broken down to low molecular weight ones. This process is used in petroleum refineries where crude oil is broken down to smaller alkenes and alkanes‚ until ethene‚ propene‚
