Search the Internet for the production of ethylene and write a paragraph on how it is made and determine some of the final products it serves as a feedstock.

What will be an ideal response?


Ethylene is produced by the cracking or breaking apart of hydrocarbons
of oil and gas. The former requires catalysts to break the larger hydrocarbons
in the oil. The latter requires the methane gas be removed, leaving only
the ethane to be steam “cracked.” Any energy released during the cracking
process is used to power other production steps. Some examples of the fi nal
products made from ethylene feedstock are several types of plastics.
