Data on Production and Consumption

Data on the production of oilseeds and other crops are summarized in Table 14.0. The world production of vegetable fats has multiplied since the time before the Second World War (Table 14.1). There has been a significant rise in production since 1964 of soybean, palm and sunflower oils, as well as rapeseed oil. Soybean oil, butter and edible beef fat and lard are most commonly produced in FR Germany (Table 14.1). The per capita consumption of plant oils in Germany has increased in the past years (Table 14.2).

Once again I should acknowledge that I have drawn heavily from the journals European Plastics News, Kunstojfe, Modern Plastics International and Plastics and Rubber Weekly for data on production and consumption statistics. 

Anuario estadistico de Venezuela, 1877-1912, 1938-. Statistical yearbook. Latest 1948, published 1950, includes data on production and consumption (industrial, energy, agri cultural), prices and economic indexes, finance, and foreign trade. In LC. 

Chemical Engineering, monthly with annual review issue (usually January or February issue). Frequent surveys of major chemicals. Annual review issue gives data on production and consumption pattern of major chemicals. Formerly Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering. 

Bureau of Mines, Minerals Yearbook, annual, 1910-. Extensive data on production and consumption of petroleum, petroleum products, natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gases. 

Wood Residues Industrial wood residues are coproducts of the sawmilling industry like shavings, sawdust, and wood chips as well as residues of other parts of forest industry. Sawmilling residues are mainly used as a raw material for board as well as pulp and paper industry. The other residues are mainly used for heat and/or power generation. On a global scale, data on production and consumption of industrial wood residues are not available. According to Mantau [28] in 2008 the amount of industrial wood residues in Germany was 24.1 million m (cf. Table 4.5). 

Bureau of Mines, Minerals Yearbook, annual, 1910-. Data on production, sales, consumption, foreign trade, and prices of minerals and mineral products, including chemicals derived from coal and petroleum, nonferrous metals, sulfur, and other mineral raw materials. Data for 1950 for many items now available in preprint form, and many preliminary annual and monthly data for 1951 and 1952 available in Mineral Industry Surveys. Formerly Mineral Resources of the United States, 1910-1931. 

World Capacity, Production, and Consumption. Current and future world capacity, based on aimounced new plants and expansions, and 1987 production and consumption data are shown in Table 7 (38). Consumption of acetone is expected to grow at a rate of about 2% aimually until... 

The Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer requires each signatory nation to reduce its production and consumption of the CFCs 11, 12, 113, 114 and 115 to 80% of their 1986 levels by 1993 and to 50% by 1998. Figure 8 shows that production levels of the first three of these has indeed fallen dramatically since 1988, according to data reported in Reference 109 by the major industrial producers. However, the Montreal measures will have little effect on the current levels of stratospheric CFCs, which would still continue to rise for many years, as illustrated by Figure 9 for the example of CFC-12. It would be necessary to impose an 85% reduction in order to stabilize atmospheric concentrations at their 1989 level110. Even with a total cessation of CFC emission atmospheric concentrations will not be restored to their pre-1960 levels until well... 

Information on annual per capita food use In the U.S. Is obtained from published (17. 18) and unpublished data from the Economic Research Service of USDA. Quantities are measured of approximately 350 foods that "disappear" Into the food distribution system. The amounts are derived by deducting data on exports, military use, year-end Inventories, and nonfood use from data on production, Imports, and beglnnlng-of-the year Inventories. Because of the complexity of the food distribution system, use of each food Is not measured at the same point In the system. Some foods are In a raw or primary state while others are retail products when their use Is measured. Subsequent losses that occur In processing, marketing, and home use are not taken into consideration. Food supply data used In the preparation of this report reflect, for the first time, revised population estimates for 1970-1981 based on the 1980 Census and revised estimates for fluid milk and cream use from 1909-1981. Dairy product consumption data for 1981 In this paper are preliminary. 

The SAXS/TGA approach has been demonstrated to be a useful technique for time-resolution of porosity development in carbons during activation processes. Qualitative interpretation of the data obtained thus far suggests that a population balance approach focusing on the rates of production and consumption of pores as a function of size may be a fruitful approach to the development of quantitative models of activation proces.ses. These then could become useful tools for the optimization of pore size distributions for particular applications by providing descriptions and predictions of how various activating agents and time-temperature histories affect resultant pore size distributions. 

For iron and steel, the American Iron and Steel Institute, of New York, collects monthly data on production, consumption, and labor, and annual information on production facilities. A comprehensive Annual Statistical Report (5) is issued. 

Proceeding further into the field of metal products, there is The Wire Association, located in Stamford, Conn. Data on production, consumption, new equipment, and production facilities in the wire industry are collected, annually for the first two, and monthly for the latter two. An Annual Buyers Guide and Year Book (7) is also prepared, and a journal. Wire and Wire Products (5), is issued monthly.
