Abstract

Various chemicals are being produced from fossil resources, primarily petroleum (petrochemicals) as well as coal and natural gas. With the decade-long advances in the petrochemical industry, the extent of utilization of the end products produced from platform chemicals from fossil resources is so versatile that it affects every aspect in our today’s life, including plastics, pesticides, dyes, personal care products, and even vitamins and aspirin.
