The shrinkage in demand has resulted in a restmcturing of the carbon black-industry. Several of the principal multinational oil companies have left the business including Ashland, Cities Service Co., Phillips, and Conoco. Some plants have changed ownership. In the United States this has increased the production capacities of Degussa, Sid Richardson, and Huber. Today s U.S. industry consists of six principal producers. Rated capacities of the six U.S. manufacturers is shown in Table 13. Cabot Corp. and Columbian Chemicals are the leading producers, followed by Degussa, Sid Richardson, J. M. Huber Corp., and Witco. A survey of the future markets and present stmcture of the carbon black industry has been presented (1).

In 1984, the Ube Ammonia Industry Co. began operating the largest Texaco coal gasification complex to date. This faciUty is located in Ube City, Japan, and has a rated gasification capacity of 1500 t/day of coal, and production capacity of 1000 t/day of ammonia. The plant has successfully gasified coals from Canada, AustraUa, South Africa, and China. At the present time the plant uses a mixture of petroleum coke and coal (43).

In 1970, the first rhodium-based acetic acid production unit went on stream in Texas City, with an annual capacity of 150 000 tons. Since that time, the Monsanto process has formed the basis for most new capacities such that, in 1991, it was responsible for about 55% of the total acetic acid capacity worldwide. In 1986, B.P. Chemicals acquired the exclusive licensing rights to the Monsanto process, and 10 years later announced its own carbonylation iridium/ruthenium/iodide system [7, 8] (Cativa ). Details of this process, from the viewpoint of its reactivity and mechanism, are provided later in this chapter. A comparison will also be made between the iridium- and rhodium-based processes. Notably, as the iridium system is more stable than its rhodium counterpart, a lower water content can be adopted which, in turn, leads to higher reaction rates, a reduced formation of byproducts, and a better yield on CO.

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).
