Fine chemicals and coal chemicals are not on the same level at all; fine chemicals are much simpler
Where was this said? It’s the same in the chemical industry: aspects such as towers, pipelines, power equipment, safety facilities, personnel operations, fire protection, and hygiene all need to be properly addressed; without any of these elements, sustainable development is not possible.
Whether it is fine chemical industry or coal chemical industry, none can claim to be simpler than the other. All chemical industries rely on processes such as synthesis, separation, catalysis, conversion, extraction, and absorption. In my opinion, if coal chemical industry is to be compared with the fine chemical industry, it should be in terms of scale; the scale of the coal chemical industry is unmatched by that of the fine chemical industry.
Coal chemical industry is a chemical process defined by its raw materials, and it is primarily a heavy industrial process focused on the production of chemical raw materials. Fine chemical engineering, on the other hand, refers to chemical processes defined in terms of chemical products, with the target product serving as the principle for dividing the process steps. Coal chemical industry can produce raw materials for the fine chemical industry; to some extent, the fine chemical industry is a downstream branch of the coal chemical industry. These are completely different concepts; has the original poster never really understood the difference between coal chemical industry and fine chemical industry from a logical perspective?
Hehe, in terms of products, the price per ton of fine chemical products vs. the price per ton of coal chemical products – they’re simply not comparable at all
For the raw materials, the prices must also be different, right?
Is the poster trying to say that coal chemical processing equipment is complex, requires high standards in terms of technology, features a high degree of automation, involves large investment amounts, yields large quantities of product, and imposes higher demands on transportation and raw material sources? If put that way, it should be fine.
