Chemical , U.S. production

We have paid particular attention to industrial processes and have tried to give some indication of the use of particular chemicals. In order to give some idea of the relative magnitudes of production we have included data on annual production. In this, because of availability of data, we have not been entirely consistent in including common data or common units. (World, U.S. or European production figures are used as seem most appropriate or up-to-date - and it must be remembered that for most speciality chemicals U.S. production is dominant.)... 

Synthetic Organic Chemicals, U.S. Production and Sales, 1970—1986, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, D.C. 

Economic Aspects. The production of ethyl ether from 1956 through 1973 ranged from 29.5 to 48.6 x 10 kg as reported by Synthetic Organic Chemicals, U.S. Production and Sales. Production was estimated at 13.6-18 X 10 kg in 1986, 12.7 X 10 kg in 1989. Though 1990 U.S. production capacity was estimated at 25.5 x 10 kg, production was estimated as only 12 x 10 kg in 1991 (21). Much of the decrease has been the result of a decline in arsenal demand (smokeless gun powder). List prices for ether have been steadily increasing, and reached 1.12/kg by 1989, refined, tanks (fob). 

Propylene can be polymerized alone or copolymerized with other monomers such as ethylene. Many important chemicals are based on propylene such as isopropanol, allyl alcohol, glycerol, and acrylonitrile. Chapter 8 discusses the production of these chemicals. U.S. production of proplylene was approximately 27.5 billion lbs in 1997. ...

U. S. Tariff Commission, Synthetic Organio Chemicals—U. S. Production and Sales, Kept. 

One of the Tariff Commission s reports which is very valuable to chemists is Synthetic Organic Chemicals, U.S. Production and Sales. It is an annual volume which comprises three major sections chemical raw materials, cyclic intermediates, and finished synthetic organic chemical products. The most recent report (Report 206, Second Series) may be purchased from GPO for 1.
