This from Petrochemicals for the Non-technical Person re: Olefins and Paraffins (RNTK's Iron Cat makes Olefins): The double bond difference between olefins and paraffins is the essence of the difference between petrochemicals and petroleum: the former depends much more on the chemical reactivity of the double-bonded molecules. While Paraffins can be manipulated in refineries by separation or reshaping, olefins in a petrochemical plant are usually reacted with another kind of atom or compound such as chlorine, oxygen, water, ammonia, or even with more of themselves. The result is more complicated compounds that are useful in an increasing number of chemical applications. FWIW, I interpret this to mean that the product of the iron based catalyst has a much greater value to the petrochemical/petroleum industry than does the cobalt based catalyst. This is part of the product side of the equation. Others may wish to interpret the feedstock side. I'm tired of typing :) Eric
