The field of petrochemicals has grown over the past 10 years to the extent that at present petroleum has essentially replaced coal as the primary raw material for preparing organic chemicals. In some cases, it has begun to penetrate the field of inorganic chemicals. In accordance with this growth, the literature of the subject has also grown tremendously. This article is a general guide to the sources of information in this area. It covers the general sources first and then particular processes, such as oxidation, hydrogenation, halogenation, and nitration. Representative books and articles are listed in the bibliography. Some general guides to the patent literature are also included.

T

he r a w materials for the petrochemical industry are obtained from crude petroleum either by being present as such i n the crude or b y the chemical operations during refining to prepare the primary products such as gasoline, lubricating oils, heating oils, and asphalts. T h e products thus obtained include chemicals such as ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, toluene, a n d the xylenes. These may be considered the primary petrochemicals. M a n y secondary derivatives are obtainable from these, including polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, polyesters, polyurethanes, phenolic resins, various types of synthetic rubbers, ethylene chloride, trichloroethylene, ethyl chloride, ethanol, acetaldehyde, styrene, ethylene oxide, ethylene glycol, v i n y l acetate, ethylene dibromide, acrylonitrile, a n d others. The growth rate of petrochemicals continues to increase, and petroleum has essentially replaced coal as the primary organic raw material. According to the 1965 Petrochemical Handbook issue of Hydrocarbon Processing, o i l and natural gas account for more than 9 3 % of a l l basic organics. Petrochemical feedstocks account for almost 4% of U . S . crude petroleum production and imports. D e m a n d for petrochemical feedstocks is growing about 1 1 % per year. B y 1970 it is estimated that petrochemicals should account for 7 0 % of total value and 4 2 % of total chemicals produced. 550 In Literature of Chemical Technology; Smith, J.; Advances in Chemistry; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 1968.

Thus, the importance of the industry and the need for knowing the sources of information is apparent. There are several ways i n w h i c h these sources can be discussed—i.e., by the individual chemicals and the products obtainable from them, chemical by chemical or type by type, or by the products obtained. Thus, we could have sections devoted to the preparation of paraffins, olefins, aromatics, etc., or we could have sections devoted to materials such as plastics, rubbers, textile chemicals, solvents, etc. However, since the limitations of the paper restrict, I discuss the subject on the basis of processing, such as oxidation, halogenation, nitration, etc. In this way the paper w i l l be kept within bounds, and the subject w i l l be adequately covered. I do not propose to be a l l inclusive. M y object is to present general guidelines to sources of information on the various processing of petrochemical feedstocks. I list both special and usual sources and discuss their usefulness from the special aspect of petrochemistry. General

Sources

The literature serves a dual purpose. First, it keeps the worker aware of current research and who is currently active i n a particular field of endeavor. Second, it informs the worker of what has been previously done. This prevents duplication and serves to orient new workers i n the field. Obviously, the type of material used i n each of these functions differs. In the first a r e a — current awareness—it is necessary that the worker be aware of a l l the primary journals w h i c h publish the results of new research. H e must keep himself informed by reading them as they appear. It is also necessary that one be familiar w i t h the patents issued each week since many technological advances are first announced i n the patent literature. Thus, one must be aware of the sources of information for patents. T h e second type of use made of the technical information is served by a different type of publication. These may be trade publications, review journals or abstracts journals. M a n y of the abstracts journals are subject oriented and serve a specific industry or, like Chemical Abstracts, the entire field of chemistry. E a c h of these sources has its purpose and function. Little has been published w h i c h is devoted solely to petrochemistry. Several books, a few magazines, some symposia, and an abstract bulletin are the sole fruits of this endeavor. Petrochemistry is covered broadly by the books published since 1955, which are listed alphabetically by author i n the bibliography. However, mention should be made of one standard reference work w h i c h was published in 1934 but w h i c h is still the best guide to the literature up to that date. It is E l l i s ' "Chemistry of Petroleum Derivatives," published i n two volumes by the Chemical Catalog C o . Although out of print and rather old, it is still the basic book reviewing the literature up to the publication date. It contains many references to the early patents and literature and is essential i n making searches. Another useful book is " T h e Chemistry of Petroleum Hydrocarbons," by Brooks i n three volumes. Volume 1 contains 21 separately authored chapters

covering subjects such as hydrocarbons i n natural gas, gasolines, kerosenes, gas oils, and lubricating oils; separation of aromatics by selective adsorption; preparation of pure paraffins and olefins; synthesis of low and high molecular weight hydrocarbons; and the Fischer-Tropsch process. Volume 2 contains 16 chapters covering acetylene by the pyrolysis of light hydrocarbons; pyrolytic reactions of aromatic hydrocarbons; hydrocarbon oxidation; synthesis of gas from methane, oxygen, and steam; partial oxidation of simple paraffinic hydrocarbons; and special oxidation reactions of unsaturated hydrocarbons. Volume 3 contains 22 chapters covering oxidation of o-xylene to phthalic anhydride; isomerization of olefins and saturated hydrocarbons; chlorination, fluorination and nitration of paraffins and cycloparaffins; Diels-Alder reactions; the Oxo reaction; alkylation; aromatic substitution; and sulfonation and nitration of aromatic hydrocarbons. The volume by Brooks and Dunstan contains chapters covering chemicals for synthetic rubber, organic chemicals from hydrocarbons of petroleum, nitroalkanes, carbon black, and surface-active agents. Goldstein's book covers major products from a commercial and manufacturing point of view and contains m u c h economic data. Groggins' volume covers unit operations such as alkylation, halogenation, and nitration. "Advances i n Petroleum Chemistry and Refining," by Kobe and M c K e t t a is an annual publication w h i c h presents current developments i n the petroleum and petrochemical industries. The chapters are individually authored and cover subjects such as the manufacture of petrochemical acetylene; nitriles and amines; synthetic ammonia; aromatics from petroleum; manufacture of mono- and diolefins from paraffins by catalytic dehydrogenation; synthetic detergents from petroleum; nitrogen fertilizers; Oxo process; pesticides from petroleum; various aspects of the petrochemical industry; and similar subjects. There is a cumulative index i n Volume 10. Also of interest because they relate specifically to petrochemicals are the various symposia w h i c h have been held by the American C h e m i c a l Society at its semiannual meetings. These have generally been sponsored by the Division of Petroleum Chemistry. The American Institute of C h e m i c a l Engineers held a symposium on petrochemicals and petroleum refining w h i c h was reprinted i n Chemical Engineering Progress Symposium Series. Several books have been published w h i c h cover the physical properties of hydrocarbons and petrochemicals. These are other than the standard handbooks w h i c h are generally familiar and are listed w i t h the general books i n the bibliography. There are many books w h i c h are of interest to the petroleum chemist but w h i c h are also of general interest to the chemist. These include the books on organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical, analytical, and the other branches of the subject. These w i l l not be discussed here. However, of p r i mary interest are the following three compendia w h i c h cover both chemical technology and organic chemistry. Kirk-Othmer's "Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology" is an excellent source of information for all petrochemicals. "Ullmann's Enzyklopedia der Technischen C h e m i e " is i n the same category as Kirk-Othmer except that it is i n German. M a n y of the articles contain

references to the original literature. Both of these are currently being revised. Houben-Weyl's "Methoden der Organischen C h e m i e " is an excellent source of information on organic chemicals, from the chemist's point of view. It contains volumes devoted to the chemistry and preparation of organophosphorus, nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, and halogen compounds. A l l of the articles are individually authored and contain many references to the original literature.

Also of interest i n this regard are the various publications w h i c h have appeared as a result of the American Petroleum Institute's research projects. Periodicals, Abstracts, and Information Services. Several periodicals are of interest to the field of petrochemicals because of the annual special reports they issue. Examples of these are the annual petrochemical reports of the Oil and Gas Journal. The latest lists U . S . petrochemical construction projeets i n elastomers, aromatics, ammonia, ethylene, and sulfur. It also contains the Journal's annual petrochemical survey w h i c h lists all U . S . and foreign plants and their products. The Petrochemical Handbook issue of Hydrocarbon Processing is another important source of information. This special annual issue gives flow diagrams for the industrial production of the important petrochemicals. T h e 1965 issue contains 131 flow diagrams. T h e information for each process includes raw materials, products obtained, a general description of the process, yields, commercial installations, and where to obtain additional information. B o t h these journals also publish articles of current interest, describing new processes or reviewing older processes. A n example of these is the series on making ethylene and butadiene w h i c h the Oil and Gas Journal reprinted i n 1957. T h e annual review issue of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, w h i c h ceased publication i n 1963, contained review articles covering recent advances i n the field of alkylation, halogenation, oxidation processes, hydrogénation and dehydrogenation processing, and sulfonation and sulfation processes. In some of the issues polymerization was also covered. These reviews are now published w i t h each issue and serve as good sources for reviewing the annual progress i n these fields. Economic information concerning petrochemicals is available from the usual sources of such information. Thus, the U . S . Tariff Commission issues its Synthetic Organic Chemicals, U.S. Production and Sales report annually. As the title indicates, the information is concerned w i t h the production and sales of a l l organic chemicals during the period covered. Stanford Research Institute issues its " C h e m i c a l Economics Handbook" i n loose-leaf form. This contains information on the basic economic data significant to the chemical industry. It covers economic data on individual chemicals and raw materials, on the principal chemical-consuming industries and on financial aspects of the chemical industry. The publication Search published by Compendium International Publishing Corp. regularly gives information on prices, sources of chemicals, production, exports and imports, new plants, etc. Predicasts abstracts information on forecasts and market data by product from articles appearing i n over 250 trade journals. Chemical Market Abstracts, published monthly by Foster D . Snell, Inc. claims to be a comprehensive guide to the world's chemical markets. It also contains information on chemical production, prices, and markets. Although not primarily concerned w i t h petrochemicals, mention should never-

theless be made of the American Petroleum Institute's publication "Petroleum Facts and Figures." The latest edition (1965) is designed to bring together within a single volume the most complete and comprehensive record available of the petroleum industry's operations. T h e refining section contains tables on crude runs, refineries, stocks, production of petrochemical feedstocks, and finished products. M u c h statistical and economic information is contained i n the various publications by the Noyes Development C o r p . of Park Ridge, N e w Jersey. These publications generally give detailed accounts of the technical information available on the subject matter of the report along w i t h some economic information. Some of the reports cover such topics as acetylene, acrylic acids and esters, acrylonitrile, ammonia and synthesis gas, aromatics, caprolactam, chemicals from ethylene, chemicals from propylene, etc. Finally, the U . S . Bureau of Mines has issued several bibliographies of investment and operating costs for chemical and petroleum plants covering the period 1930-1958. Specific

Oxidation. M a n y chemicals are produced by oxidizing petrochemical feedstocks. A number of articles have been written on this subject and have been included i n some of the aforementioned books, such as the one by Brooks et al. on the chemistry of petroleum hydrocarbons and i n Kobe and McKetta's "Advances i n Petroleum Chemistry and Refining." Both of these should be consulted for review articles on oxidation. In addition to these, several books have also been published w h i c h cover the subject i n greater detail. Examples of these are given i n the bibliography. Shtern's book reviews research on the oxidation of paraffins, olefins, naphthenes, and aromatics. It covers the Russian work fully and contains extensive bibliographies to both Russian and nonRussian work. Articles w i t h particular emphasis on petrochemical oxidation are also included i n the bibliography. Alleviation. Another important petrochemical reaction is alkylation, and m u c h work has been done i n this field. Booth and Martin's book includes a discussion of the use of boron trifluoride as an alkylation catalyst. T h e book by Egloff and H u l l a is a compilation of patents on the alkylation of alkanes, classified according to process. The volume by Topchiev et al. is translated from the Russian and contains sections on the use of boron trifluoride i n alkylation reactions. W i l l i a m s ' work discusses homolytic aromatic substitution, w h i c h includes alkylation reactions. Too many articles have been written on alkylation reactions to list them all. However, those w h i c h review the subject w e l l are listed i n the bibliography. I should also like to mention the annual reviews of the literature w h i c h have been published i n Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. Isomerization. Isomerization is a reaction frequently used i n the petrochemical industry but not to the same extent as alkylation or oxidation. H o w ever, it is a useful reaction and much work has been done w i t h it. M o y discusses developments during the period 1952-1962 i n catalytic isomerization, along w i t h other processes. T h e work by Topchiev et al. previously mentioned

contains â section on the use of boron trifluoride i n isomerization reactions. A symposium on isomerization and related processes was held at the A p r i l 1959 meeting of the American Chemical Society, Division of Petroleum Chemistry.

Hydrogénation. Sources of information w h i c h cover hydrogénation and dehydrogenation are listed i n the bibliography. Halogenation. Halogenation has been extensively investigated, and many books and articles have been published. Representative ones are given i n the bibliography. Here again the annual reviews i n Industrial and Engineenng Chemistry should always be consulted. Nitration. Although not as important from a petrochemical point of view as any of the other reactions, some work has been carried out i n this area, and the sources should be listed. O f interest is the symposium w h i c h was held at the 132nd American C h e m i c a l Society, Division of Petroleum Chemistry Meeting i n N e w York i n September 1957. T h e topic was nitrogen compounds i n petroleum, and 10 papers were presented. Nitration is also covered by the Industrial and Engineering Chemistry annual unit processes review. Also worthy of mention is A P I Project 52 on the nitrogen constituents i n petroleum. Sulfonation. Here also the annual review of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry must be mentioned. A P I ' s Project 48, w h i c h has been i n process for many years, is concerned w i t h the synthesis, properties, and identification of sulfur compounds i n petroleum. Other articles and books of interest are given i n the bibliography. Polymerization. O f all the areas of petrochemistry none has received more attention than polymerization, especially since the advent of the Ziegler catalyst. The subject has been discussed i n great detail, and no attempt w i l l be made to cover the sources here. However, some attempt w i l l be made to indicate the magnitude of the material that has been published and to point out some of the books and articles w h i c h w i l l serve as a start i n becoming familiar w i t h the field. I shall limit myself to the polymerization of olefins and diolefins i n order to keep this section within bounds. Interscience started issuing the digest service Resins, Rubbers, Pfostics i n 1947. This publication, later issued by Information for Industry, contains an annual index to the material digested, and the digests themselves are long and frequently contain data taken from the articles. This service was discontinued i n 1965. There are also many periodicals devoted exclusively to polymers and polymerization. Examples are European Polymer Journal, Fortschntte der Hochpolymeren Forschung, Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Journal of Polymer Science, Die Makromolekulare Chemie, Polymer, Polymer Previews, and Polymer Report. In addition to the journals many books have been written covering various aspects of the subject. One of the earlier publications and still excellent for the old material is E l l i s ' "Chemistry of Synthetic Resins." Published i n two volumes i n 1935, it covers most of the old literature and should always be consulted for information w h i c h may have been published prior to the p u b l i cation date of the set.

I have tried to give an overall view of some of the sources of information i n the field of petrochemistry. Naturally, it has been impossible to cover the entire field a n d still keep this paper within bounds. However, I believe that the contents a n d leads given here w i l l serve as a start to anyone wishing some basic information.
