Oxo-alcohols are prepared by adding hydrogen and carbon monoxide to an olefin and further hydrogenating the aldehyde to obtain the alcohol. This process takes place under low-pressure conditions in the presence of rhodium catalyst to produce aldehyde isomers, which are further hydrogenated to produce these alcohols. Various olefins, including ethylene, propylene and acetylene, can aid in the preparation of different kinds of oxo-alcohols. These alcohols react with phthalic anhydride to form phthalates, which are commercialized as vinyl plasticizers. In addition, they are extensively employed across numerous industries for the manufacturing of drugs, ethers, acetates, polishers, coatings, cleaners, solubilizer, adhesives, printing inks...

Gypsum board, also known as drywall and plasterboard, refers to a panel made using a mixture of gypsum and water which is pressed between two sheets of thick paper and widely used as a construction material. It is widely used in the construction industry for preparing walls, ceilings and partition systems, particularly in the residential and commercial building projects. Gypsum board is considered as a faster alternative to conventional plastering process. Some of the benefits of using a gypsum board include durability, lightweight, cost-effectiveness, ease of installation, fire-resistance, etc.

Biofertilizers are made from biological wastes and contain living microorganisms that enrich the nutrient quality of the soil. These microorganisms decompose organic matter and help in soil mineralization. This allows easier absorption of the same by plants, which further promotes their growth. These fertilizers also make nitrogen available for legume crops by fixing atmospheric nitrogen in the soil and their root nodules. They also enhance the fertility of the soil and improve the yield significantly, without adversely affecting the environment. Some of the most common examples of biofertilizers that are widely used for organic farming include bacteria, fungi and cyanobacteria.

According to the global PVC pipes market report by IMARC Group, the market reached a volume of around 23 Million Tons in 2018, growing at a CAGR of more than 5% during 2011-2018. PVC pipes are manufactured by the extrusion of a blend of polymer resin (PVC) and various additives. The manufacturing process of these pipes requires less energy and fewer resources owing to which they are continually replacing counterparts like metal piping systems. These pipes are not only rust-, tear- and chemical- resistant but are also durable, lightweight, easy to install, affordable and reliable. As a result, they are extensively employed in sewer lines, irrigation, water systems and underground wiring.
