Chemical processing is the method of transforming raw materials into valuable products through chemical reactions. This process is essential in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food production, and petrochemicals. It involves various techniques, including mixing, heating, and separating substances to create desired compounds. In chemical processing, safety and efficiency are crucial. Facilities often use specialized equipment like reactors and distillation columns to ensure optimal conditions for reactions. The end products can range from everyday items like plastics and fuels to complex compounds used in medications and agriculture.
