What is the value of oil as the blood of industry?

A person's life to "live" 3790 kilograms of oil home everywhere is oil! If you look around our homes, you can say that oil is involved everywhere. The amount of oil spent on "living" in a person's life is nearly 3,790 kilograms. The first is that all plastic products we can touch, without exception, come from oil. For example: polyethylene (PE) used in plastic wrap and food bags; Ethylene is used in the preparation of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for kitchen, bathroom pipes and wire and cable skins. The most important source of ethylene is the cracking of petroleum, and the world has taken ethylene production as one of the important indicators to measure the development level of a country's petrochemical industry. Polypropylene (PP) used in the manufacture of water basins, microwave crisper, etc.; Polystyrene (PS), which is used to make lampshades, instant noodle boxes, and disposable lunch boxes, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), which is used to make beverages and mineral water bottles, are all products of petrochemicals. It's hard to imagine a world without plastic. Even non-plastic products can not be separated from the shadow of oil. For example, the paint on the surface of walls and furniture should use oil; Cleaning products, such as facial cleansers, shampoos, detergents, etc., are also derivatives of petroleum. Oil is even the raw material for making cosmetics, and more than 90% of cleansers and cosmetics on the market currently contain mineral oil, as well as petroleum jelly, paraffin, flavor, etc., which are derived from petroleum. Grab your serum, face cream, lipstick and see what's in it.

The reason why we can travel faster and faster, travel thousands of miles a day, oil plays a very important role, a person's life is about to spend 3838 kilograms of oil on the "line". In addition to the gasoline and diesel that are "eaten" by vehicles and the aviation kerosene that is "eaten" by aircraft, the asphalt that is laid on roads also comes from petroleum, which is the residue after crude oil is refined into gasoline, diesel and kerosene. At the same time, if you want the machinery to run smoothly, you need lubricating oil or grease to maintain and protect the machinery and reduce mechanical wear, otherwise they are not far from becoming scrap metal, and lubricating oil or grease is also petroleum products. Tires need synthetic rubber, and the large number of raw materials required, such as ethylene, propylene, butene and aromatic hydrocarbons, are also mainly from petrochemicals. The monomer for the production of synthetic rubber is obtained from petroleum and polymerized to form a macromolecular solid with high elasticity. Synthetic rubber tires have good insulation, good air tightness, oil resistance, high temperature resistance, low temperature resistance, and are widely used.

Oil has such an important position that it is called the "blood of industry" and deserves its name. What we are familiar with is providing fuel for the engine, which is the most elementary application of oil, so much so that Tesla CEO Elon Musk once said: "Oil is so precious, you even burn it." With the advent of ethanol gasoline, we seem to be seeing the fuel burden of oil being gradually shared. I believe that through the efforts of scientists, the role of oil as a fuel will eventually become a glorious history. And its special and lofty status as the "blood of industry" will continue...
