Chemical raw materials can generally be divided into two categories: organic chemical raw materials and inorganic chemical raw materials
Organic chemical raw material
It can be divided into alkanes and their derivatives, alkenes and their derivatives, alkynes and their derivatives, quinones, aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, phenols, ethers, anhydrides, esters, organic acids, carboxylate, carbohydrates, heterocyclic, nitrile, halogenates, aminoacides, and other types
Inorganic chemical raw material
Inorganic chemical products are the main raw materials containing sulfur, sodium, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and other chemical minerals (see inorganic salt industry) and coal, oil, natural gas and air, water and so on. In addition, many industrial by-products and wastes are also raw materials for inorganic chemicals, such as coke oven gas in the coking production process of the iron and steel industry, the ammonia contained in which can be recycled into ammonium sulfate with sulfuric acid, sulfur dioxide in the smelting exhaust gas of chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite can be used to produce sulfuric acid.
