038/365 - Illuminated Sasol

Panorama view of Sasol-Huntsmans production in Moers, Germany. Sasol-Huntsman is one of the leading suppliers of Maleic Anhydride in Europe but what is Maleic Anhydride? Maleic anhydride was traditionally manufactured by the oxidation of benzene or other aromatic compounds but due to rising benzene prices, most maleic anhydride plants now use n-butane as a feedstock. It will be used for the production of unsaturated Polyester as well as for the synthesis of e.g. tensides, fungicides or insecticides.
