Chlorobenzene production capacities

Chlorobenzene is produced by three United States chemical companies Monsanto Chemical Company, Sauget, Illinois PPG Industries, Inc., Natrium, West Virginia and Standard Chlorine Chemical Co., Inc., Delaware City, Delaware. Production capacity for chlorobenzene at these plants has remained constant since 1985 although it appears that actual production has declined slightly during that period (Hughes et al. 1983 SRI 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988 USITC 1988). [Pg.54]

The ammonolysis of chlorobenzene previously operated by Dow in the USA, analogous to the synthesis of phenol from chlorobenzene, has had no commercial importance for some years. Table 5.8 summarizes the production capacities of the major aniline producer countries it is striking that aniline production is limited to a small number of countries. [Pg.198]

Chlorobenzenes were first synthesized around the middle of the nineteenth century the first direct chlorination of benzene was reported in 1905 (1). Commercial production was begun in 1909 by the former United Alkali Co. in England (2). In 1915, the Hooker Electrochemical Co. at Niagara EaUs, New York, brought on stream its first chlorobenzenes plant in the United States with a capacity of about 8200 metric tons per year. [Pg.46]

The production of chlorobenzenes in Eastern Europe is concentrated in the former Soviet Union, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. The estimated capacity is 200—250 thousand metric tons the former Soviet Union has most (230 thousand tons) of this capacity. There is trade between Eastern and Western Europe on monochlorobenzene and the dichlorobenzenes, but the net trade balance is probably even at about 20 thousand metric tons. Eastern Europe exported 20 thousand metric tons of monochlorobenzene principally to Germany, Erance, and the United States. [Pg.49]

Phenol has been obtained by distillation from petroleum and synthesis by oxidation of cumene or toluene, and by vapor-phase hydrolysis of chlorobenzene (USITC 1987). In 1995, 95% of U.S. phenol production was based on oxidation of cumene except at one company that used toluene oxidation and a few companies that distilled phenol from petroleum (CMR 1996). In 1995 the total annual capacity of phenol production approached 4.5 billion pounds (CMR 1996). [Pg.159]

In a number of important industrial processes, it is necessary to carry out a reaction between a gas and a liquid. Usually the object is to make a particular product, for example, a chlorinated hydrocarbon such as chlorobenzene by the re action of gaseous chlorine with liquid benzene. Sometimes the liquid is simply the reaction medium, perhaps containing a catalyst, and all the reactants and products are gaseous. In other cases the main aim is to separate a constituent such as C02 from a gas mixture although pure water could be used to remove CO2, a solution of caustic soda, potassium carbonate or ethanolamine has the advantages of increasing both the absorption capacity of the liquid and the rate of absorption. The subject of gas-liquid reactor design thus really includes absorption with chemical reaction which is discussed in Volume 2, Chapter 12. [Pg.196]

Built in 1959, the Zhejiang Juhua Electric Chemical Plant is the largest chloro-alkali production enterprise in Zhejiang Province with annual capacity of 120 000 tonnes of caustic soda. The company has 25 000 employees and produces PVC paste resin with annual capacity of 35 000 tonnes. Other primary products are hydrochloric acid, liquid chlorine, chlorobenzene bleaching powder and ADC vesicant. [Pg.128]
