Petroleum chemicals

They are chemical compounds, which chemists artificially synthesized from oil trains, and then they began to transform them into groups of new materials useful for life, such as plastics, dyes, tissues, fertilizers, and drugs. Thus, they increased the wealth of the present civilization, and increased the happiness and prosperity of the present man.

If you spoke to a young man from Azhar, who is exaggerated in fanaticism for the purity of language, about the matter of oil, he would stop you and tell you, “Rather, it is rock oil.”

This is because the French word “Petroleum” has the first syllable, “Petro,” which means rock, and its second syllable is “Oleum,” which means oil.

We used to mention oil as a single word.
He spoke smoothly to us.

Some of us say “petroleum oil,” and then it means “rock oil,” and there is some error in the expression. The Arabs called this oil, rock oil, oil, oil, and the Romans also called it, and the Greeks before them, Naphta, and the Assyrians and Babylonians also called it, especially what of it was highly volatile and had a smell in the nose.

- Oil and oil:

They called petroleum oil due to its apparent resemblance to vegetable oil, such as olive oil and cotton oil, in terms of its fluidity and the softness it possesses, such as fat. Similarity. Evening, and they differed compositionally.

Olive oil and cotton oil are both food, and there is no food in rock oil. In petroleum, there is a part of petroleum that is distilled, purified and filtered, and is known as Liquid Parffin. We drink the dose from it, and it lubricates the food in the intestines and facilitates its passage through it, thus curing some constipation. This oil comes out of The body is as it entered, its short journey into it does not change its composition at all.

- What are its ancient ancient origins?

These origins have not been revealed in a manner that satisfies all scholars, and we can summarize by saying that the common accepted opinion is that petroleum is derived from organic materials, from marine organisms and plant organisms, deposited in the ground and deeply buried between its layers. Then many factors affected it that changed its nature. These factors are heat, pressure, the action of bacteria, and the atomic activity of some of the Earth’s radioactive elements. Let us not forget the lengthening act of time.

What this means is that rock oil, or petroleum, came from the same origins from which all other edible oils came, that is, from living origins of plants and animals.

If we wish, we can go back even further, to the first origins, to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and some of the earth’s salt and water, and then the sun’s rays combine all of this and weave into the tree leaves a mixture of marvels.
