China's ethylene capacity has soared in recent years,bringing about a large amount of cracking-sourced C5 fractions.Startups of several C5 separation facilities extend the production chain and further increase the added value of C5 resources.It is predicted conservatively that about 1.04 million tons of cracking-sourced C5 fractions will be additional in China by 2021,which will change the utilization pathway of cracking-sourced C5 fractions.The current situation and future development trend of China's cracking-sourced C5 fractions production chain are expounded.
