Cracked naphthalene fraction is an important raw material in the production of chemical products, which is mainly used to produce various aromatic compounds. The following are some details of the upstream and downstream related products of the cracked naphthalene fraction:

**1. Upstream products**

**Coal tar**: Coal tar is the main raw material of the cracked naphthalene fraction, from which naphthalene and other aromatic hydrocarbons can be extracted through the high-temperature cracking process.
**Petroleum**: Petroleum also contains a certain amount of naphthalene, which can be cracked by the petroleum refining process.

**2. Downstream products**

* **Benzene**: Benzene is an important chemical raw material that can be used to produce plastics, rubber, fibers, etc. Cracked naphthalene fractions can be dehydrogenated to give benzene.
* **Toluene**: Toluene is a derivative of benzyl and an important chemical raw material. The cleavage of the naphthalene fraction can be methylated to give toluene.
* **Xylene**: Xylene is a mixture mainly composed of ortho-, meta-and para-xylenes. Cracked naphthalene fraction can be obtained by methylation reaction and isomerization reaction of xylene.
* **Anthracene**: Anthracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that can be used to produce dyes, pesticides, etc. The cleavage of the naphthalene fraction can give anthracene by a condensation reaction.
**Phenanthrene**: Phenanthrene is also a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, which can be used to produce plastics and synthetic fibers. The naphthalene fraction can be cleaved to give phenanthrene by a condensation reaction.

above is only a part of the upstream and downstream related products of the cracked naphthalene fraction. In fact, the cracked naphthalene fraction is widely used in chemical production, and a variety of compounds can be obtained through different chemical reactions, and these compounds can be further reacted to obtain more downstream products.

, it should be noted that different production processes and reaction conditions will affect the yield and purity of the product, so it needs to be selected and optimized according to the specific situation in the actual production process.

In conclusion, as an important chemical raw material, pyrolysis naphthalene fraction has a broad application prospect in the field of chemical production. Through the in-depth study of the cracked naphthalene fraction, more upstream and downstream related products can be developed, and make greater contributions to the development of the chemical industry.
