Processing refers to the various techniques and methods used to transform raw materials into finished products. Processing can include a wide range of activities, from simple physical treatments such as cleaning and sorting, to more complex chemical and mechanical processes.
Here are five examples of processing:
- Food processing: The techniques and methods used to transform raw agricultural products into finished food products, such as canning, freezing, and drying.
- Mineral processing: The techniques and methods used to extract valuable minerals and metals from ore, such as crushing, grinding, and separation.
- Textile processing: The techniques and methods used to transform raw fibers into finished textiles, such as spinning, weaving, and dyeing.
- Pharmaceutical processing: The techniques and methods used to produce drugs and other pharmaceutical products, such as formulation, compounding, and packaging.
- Oil and gas processing: The techniques and methods used to refine crude oil and natural gas into useful products such as gasoline, diesel, and propane.
