1·As I wrote last week, Sasol, a South African company that produces diesel fuel and naphtha from coal, is considering building a similar plant to take advantage of the natural gas fields of Canada.
就在上个周我写这篇文章时，南非沙索公司—一家从煤炭中生产柴油和石脑油的公司正在考虑制定一个同样的计划来开发加拿大天然气田。
2·Macintosh found that naphtha - a volatile, oily liquid created in the distillation the aforementioned coal tar, as well as petroleum - could be used to waterproof fabrics.
麦金托什发现，石脑油——在蒸馏前面提到的煤焦油以及石油的过程中所产生的一种易挥发的油状液体——可用于防水织物。
3·The most important route to produce these unsaturated hydrocarbons is by steam cracking, using principally petroleum gases or naphtha as feedstock.
生产这种不饱和烃类最重要的路线是靠蒸汽裂解，主要以石油气体和石脑油作原料。
4·In contact with a hot surface, naphtha petroleum fractions crack to produce ethylene and propylene.
石脑油馏份与一个热表面接角，就裂解而得到乙烯和丙烯。
5·Carbon dioxide is a by-product of steam reforming of methane, propane or naphtha.
二氧化碳是甲烷、丙烷或石脑油的蒸气重整的一个副产品。
