Let us have a look at some of the common

industrial chemicals used in industries

Ammonia: Used as a scrubbing solvent for removing pollutants from the combustion streams of fossil fuels because

being released into the atmosphere.

Sodium Hydroxid: An alkaline

substance used in soap and dyes manufacturing. Being a good

cleansing agent, it can also be used for neutralizing acids.

Phosphoric Acid: Mainly used in the production of

fertilizer. Also used in the manufacturing of food products

and soft drinks.

Chlorine: Used for manufacturing titanium dioxide

and bleaching agents.

Sodium Carbonate: Used in

glass making and in the manufacturing of many cleansing agents. Also known as soda ash, it can be mined from the trona ore,

or can be manufactured by reacting sulfuric acid and salt.

Nitrobenzene: Primarily used for the

manufacturing of aniline, used as a rubber additive for preventing

oxidation.

Aluminum Sulfate: Used in

wastewater and paper treatment industries as pH buffer.

Nitric Acid: Most commonly used to react with

ammonia to form solid fertilizer ammonium nitrate.

Urea: Commonly used in the production of fertilizers. Some can also be used in manufacturing of

livestock feed.

Benzene: Benzene is used as a reactant for producing cumene and ethylbenzene. It is

also a common organic solvent as a precursor for cyclohexane.

Vinyl Chloride: Monomer form of PVC or polyvinyl chloride, it is used as a building

material.

Methanol: Used as reactant for the making of methyl

tertbutyl ether, acetic acid and formaldehyde.

Xylene: Primarily used for manufacturing phthalic anhydride,

used for making a variety of polymers and plasticizers. Xylene

is also used for manufacturing terephthalic acid, the polyester

feedstock.

Terephthalic Acid: Exclusively used in the

manufacturing of polyester or polyethylene terephthalate (PET).

Hydrochloric Acid: Mainly used in the

production of other chemicals by acting as a catalyst of reactant. Also used in the pickling of steel and also in the pharmaceutical

industry.

Acetic Acid: Primarily used for the manufacturing of

vinyl acetate monomer and acetic anhydride.

Phenol: Used for manufacturing of phenolic resins,

caprolacturm and bispenol-A.
