Chemical industry is a complex industry which determines the level of scientific and technological progress along with mechanical engineering, as well as supplying all sectors of the economy and technology of materials.
World Chemical Industry is one of the main branches of heavy industry and is a material and technical base of scientific chemicalization all sectors of the economy.This sector of the economy plays a key role in strengthening the defense capacity, capacity of the productive forces in the maintenance of the vital needs of any society.Chemical industry in the world is a complex of industries, the basic technologies which are chemical methods of processing materials or raw materials.With the development of the chemical industry appear and develop integrated production of valuable commercial products;replacing expensive raw materials cheaper and more affordable;recycled industrial waste;It comes integrated use of natural resources.Chemical industry in the world and forms a complex multifunctional system linkages with other sectors of the economy, such as gas and oil industry, with coal from the steel industry, as well as timber and light.Combinations of different industries to provide an opportunity to create a chemical whole industrial complexes.
Statistics show that the chemical industry in the world had the greatest indicators of development until the mid-70s.The energy crisis of the period, somewhat reduced pace of development of this sector, as for the restoration of structural and technological restructuring in the chemical industry took some time.Further development of the chemical industry showed stable results, and is now the industry cost of production ahead of a electronics.The share of industrial production in the developed countries, the chemical industry is second only to mechanical engineering.
Petrochemical industry Russia is a single set of national economy, the mining and processing of oil and its derivatives.According to statistics, in the last decade of the 20th century petrochemical products accounted for more than a third of all products of the chemical industry, and more than half of the production of organic components in the world.Those proportions were preserved in the petrochemical industry in Russia.
Chemical Industry in its structure is complex and has a membership of more than 200 sub-sectors, and the range of products manufactured by the chemical industry, comes to 1,000,000. Chemical Industry in Germany, as the world chemical industry, includes sub-sectors in the mining and chemicalindustry, basic chemical and plastics industries.
Mining and the chemical industry is related to the production, processing and enrichment of phosphate, potash, sulfur.Basic chemical industry is represented by the production of mineral fertilizers, salts, alkalis, acids.A production of polymers based on organic synthesis and includes the production of plastics and synthetic resins, fibers and rubber, dyes, etc.The same branch of the petrochemical industry provides the consumer needs of society and is used for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, photochemistry, detergents, cosmetics and perfumes.
