Contents Basic concepts and classification of raw materials Secondary material sources Rational and all- round utilization of material sources Beneficiation of raw material 2

Basic Concepts  3-4 tons of materials to produce 1 ton of product  Search new material sources  Cheaper and better starting materials  Recovery materials from waste  1. same process may use different materials  2.wide types of product from the same material Benzene: starting material of man made robber, polystyrene, pesticide, and etc. Methanol: used in various manufacture, e.g. Acetic and formic acid 3

Source of Starting Materials  Mining:  coal and tin  Petroleum and gas industries:  fuels, lubricants, synthetic fiber, synthetic rubber, plastic, detergents and a multitude of other products  Ferrous and non- ferrous metallurgy:  aromatic hydrocarbon, phenols, naphthalene, SO 2  Agricultural raw materials:  Vegetable and animals 4
