The 14 pages that link to Steam cracking, each with the reason it gives.

• AlkeneRelated: It is a principal industrial source of the small alkenes used as chemical feedstocks.

• EthyleneRelated: It is the principal industrial route for producing ethylene from hydrocarbons.

• ButaneRelated: Butane can serve as a feedstock for producing ethylene and other chemicals.

• EthaneRelated: Industrial cracking converts ethane into ethylene by breaking a C–H bond.

• PropyleneRelated: Steam cracking yields propylene alongside ethylene and other light hydrocarbons.

• Petrochemical industryRelated: It is the main route from light hydrocarbon feedstocks to major building-block chemicals.

• EtheneBroader topic: This process supplies most industrial ethene from ethane or naphtha feedstocks.

• PetrochemicalRelated: It converts ethane or naphtha into ethylene, propylene, and related feedstocks.

• ButadieneRelated: It is a major source of butadiene as a coproduct of ethylene manufacture.

• Calcium carbideCompared with: It is a major modern route to acetylene and contrasts with carbide hydrolysis.

• Chemical feedstockRelated: It converts naphtha or ethane feedstocks into key building blocks for plastics.

• PentaneRelated: Pentane can serve as a feedstock for producing ethylene, propylene, and other petrochemicals.

• CyclopentadieneRelated: Industrial cyclopentadiene is recovered from the complex hydrocarbon mixtures produced during cracking.

• IsobutyleneRelated: Cracking streams can supply isobutylene, though it is mixed with other hydrocarbons.
