Growing secondary end-user industries and increasing use of hydrogen in refinery hydro-processing are some of the major factors fuelling the growth of the hydrogen market for hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Since the hydrogen is used in petroleum refining processes, the industry is impacted by unstable growth of the latter. However, increasing demand for clean transportation (the reason for unstable growth of petroleum refining industries) is supporting growth of the hydrogen market in terms of increasing demand for hydrogen fuel stations. Hydrogen is used in petroleum hydro-treating and hydro-cracking in the refinery industry. Demand for hydrogen in petroleum refining has increased significantly over the last few years owing to stringent motor vehicle emissions regulations imposed by various governments. Developed countries follow the latest emission regulations, whereas developing countries frequently revise regulations.

Talc is a mineral composed of hydrated magnesium silicate and is an important industrial and commercial mineral. It has broad applications as an industrial mineral due to its resistance to heat, electricity and acids and oil and grease adsorption. Talc has extensive commercial use because of its luster, softness, purity, fragrance retention, softness and whiteness. It is the softest known mineral and has a rating of 1 on the Mohs hardness scale. It can be scratched by a fingernail and is also sectile that means it can be cut by a knife. It has a specific gravity of 2.5 -2.8 and has clear luster. Talc is slightly soluble in dilute mineral acids and insoluble in water. It is a metamorphic mineral and occurs due to metamorphism of magnesium minerals such as olivine, amphibole, serpentine and pyroxene in presence of water and carbon dioxide. Talc is a tri-octahedral layered mineral and has a similar structure to that of pyrophyllite.

Bauxite popularly known as aluminum ore is the major source of aluminum. Bauxite is a mixture of minerals such as gibbsite, boehmite and diaspore, iron oxides such as goethite and hematite, clay mineral kaolinite and some amounts of anatase. Bauxite are found majorly in the tropical and sub-tropical regions such as Africa, West Indies, South America, Australia, Asian countries such as India and China and some parts of Europe (in small quantity). Australia is the largest producer and exporter of bauxite globally, with five bauxite mine contributing more than one fourth of the global bauxite production. There are five steps involved in the extraction of bauxite starting with preparation of bauxite area, secondly, bauxite mining, crushing, ore transportation and lastly rehabilitation of land. On an average one square meter of land can extract one metric ton of aluminum.

Butadiene is a colorless, non-corrosive gas with mild aromatic or gasoline-like odor. Butadiene is a simple conjugated diene and is a flammable gas. Butadiene vapor pressure is 2100 mmHg at 25 °C and the explosive limits are 2-11.5%. Butadiene is slightly soluble in water (735 mg/liter) and is soluble in a number of organic solvents such as diethyl ether, ethanol, benzene, acetone and polar and nonpolar organic solvents. The butadiene can be extracted from C4 hydrocarbons, dehydrogenation of n-butane, ethanol and butenes. The butadiene can be extracted from crude C4, a product from the steam cracker. A hydrocarbon used as feed in the production of butadiene determines the quantity of butadiene. Light feeds, such as ethane produce ethylene when cracked. On the other hand, heavier feeds produced the heavier olefins, butadiene, and aromatic hydrocarbons. Butadiene can also be extracted by the catalytic dehydrogenation of normal butane (n-butane). Butadiene from n-butane is commercially produced using the Houdry catadiene process, which was developed during World War II. Butadiene is also produced from ethanol. Smaller-capacity plants use ethanol for the production of butadiene due to the lower capital cost associated with it in comparison to others. 1,3-Butadiene can also be produced by catalytic dehydrogenation of normal butenes. This method was also used by the United States Synthetic Rubber Program (USSRP) during World War II. The process was much more economical than the alcohol route but competed with aviation gasoline for available butene molecules. The USSRP constructed several plants in Baton Rouge and Lake Charles, Los Angeles; Houston, Baytown, and Port Neches, Texas; and Torrance, California. Butadiene is a raw material that can be used to produce synthetic rubber. The tire industry is one of the main consumers of butadiene. Other applications for butadiene include plastics production and paper chemicals.

A pigment is a chemical material, which alters the color of reflected or transmitted light due to wavelength-selective absorption. Pigmentation is entirely different from fluorescence, phosphorescence, and other forms of luminescence, where materials emit light. Dyes are substances, which are naturally colored and have an affinity to the substrate to which it is being applied.

Castor oil is a vegetable oil derived from the seeds of castor plants.
