What are the key technical differences in terms of processing between base chemicals from petroleum and bio-based platform molecules for the chemical industry?
*
Select All
Bio-based molecules will have a larger amount of radioactive
14
C
Petroleum-based molecules are more abundant than bio-based ones
They cannot make the same molecules
They contain different major functional groups; hydrocarbon (olefins and aromatics) vs heteroatoms (alcohols, amines, carbonyls and acids)
Crude oil is hazardous to handle, whereas biomass is safe
A molecule made from petroleum will have different properties to one made from biomass.
