This is a complex mixture of thousands of compounds that need to be processed afterward.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 2: Distillation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once extracted, the raw material undergoes a refining process that turns the crude oil into various petroleum products &#8211; these products are converted to produce useful chemicals including &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Monomer\">monomers<\/a>&#8221; (basic elements of polymers).<\/p>\n<p>In the refining process, crude oil is heated in a furnace, then sent to a distillation unit, where the heavy crude oil is separated into lighter components called fractions. One of these, called <strong>naphtha<\/strong>, is an important compound for making large amounts of plastic. Besides, plastic can also be synthesized from other raw materials such as <strong>natural gas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 3: Polymerization<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is a process in the oil and gas industry in which light olefin gases (gasoline) such as ethylene, propylene, butylene (monomers) are converted into higher molecular weight hydrocarbons or polymers. During this process the monomers are linked into chains. There are 2 different mechanisms for polymerization:<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Addition polymerization<\/i>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Addition polymerization<\/i><\/strong> occurs by introducing a catalyst, typically peroxide, which helps one monomer connect to the next monomer (dimer) and the dimer to the next monomer (trimer), etc. This process is called polymerization. chain leader \u2013 because it adds one monomer unit at a time. Common examples of additive polymers are polyethylene (PE), polystyrene (PS), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC).<\/p>\n<p><strong><i>Condensation polymerization<\/i>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Condensation<\/strong> involves combining two or more different monomers by eliminating small molecules such as water. It also needs a catalyst for the reaction to occur between adjacent monomers. This is called incremental growth; For example, you can add an existing series to another series. Common examples of condensation polymers are polyester (PET) and nylon (PA).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Step 4: Granulation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>During this process different mixtures of raw materials are melted and mixed together to create the resin formula. Then, use some type of extruder to form granules. An extrusion or other molding process then turns these pellets into finished or semi-finished products. Granulation typically occurs on a twin-screw extruder, where plastic pellets are then processed into plastic objects of diverse sizes, shapes, colors with precise properties under specified conditions. predetermined in the processor.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Above is the most popular plastic pellet production process today.
