Much of the work discussed above was performed under contract awarded by the Canada Departments of Supply and Services and Energy, Mines and Resources to the Waterloo Centre for Process Development. Dr. J.T. Price of CANMET was the supervising scientist on these contracts. His active participation was very much appreciated.

The U.S. Department of Commerce estimates total production of about 163,000 t in 1990. Other estimates based on demand data indicate that it was as high as 175,000 t. With demand and supply in balance, it is estimated that in 1997 the demand will be 185,000 t. The distribution in product demand is projected to be the following 1,4-butanediol and other acetylenic chemicals (45%), vinyl chloride monomer (45%), acetylene black (5%), and industrial use (5%). 

Methods in Development. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the American Gas Association (AGA) have sponsored the development of more efficient gasification processes, but as of this writing the plentihil supply of iaexpensive natural gas has precluded commercialization.

Bulk unloading facilities usually must be provided at the treatment plant. Rail cars are constructed for top unloading and therefore require an air supply system and flexible connectors to pneumatically displace the alum from the car. U.S. Department of Transportation regulations concerning chemical tank car unloading should be observed. Tank truck unloading is usually accomplished by gravity or by a truck mounted pump. 

In the free market, as long as petroleum supplies are plentiful, there is little incentive for oil companies to transition to any of the alternative fuels, which is a major reason that the U.S. Department of Energy projects petroleum consumption will rise from 18.6 million barrels per day in 1997 to 22.5-26.8 million barrels by 2020. As the crude oil resei ves dwindle, the... 

Because eveiy means of transportation requires energy for propulsion, how energy is used in transportation is something that is carefully tracked by the Office of Transportation Policy Development within the Department of Transportation (DOT). The transportation sector felt the greatest impact from the oil supply disruptions in the 1970s because it was, and continues to be, the sector most dependent on oil. It is also the sector with the least flexibility to switch fuels, (see also Consumption)... 

Consumer installations which supply LPG to more than one user (e.g. metered estates, holiday home parks, caravan sites) require the gas supplier (i.e. the site owner/operator, not the LPG supplier) to obtain prior consent from the Office of Gas Supply (Ofgas) and, for the necessary pipework installation, from the Department of Energy, Pipelines Inspectorate. 

The Bureau of Mines, within the Department of the Interior, funds a substantial amount of chemical engineering research in its in-house laboratories, particularly in the area of hydrometallrugical separation processes. The U.S. minerals industry is currently in a depressed state typified by diminished research efforts within industrial laboratories and, in some cases, wholesale termination of research operations. As a result, new researchers have bleak prospects for industrial employment. At the same time, the United States cannot afford to lose a professional generation of research persormel in an area that would be of critical importance if foreign supplies of certain metals were interrupted. 

Butadiene is an especially versatile chemical because of its two reactive double bonds. It has been forecast that future butadiene supplies will be plentiful at a stable price due to an anticipated abundance of butenes. This suggests that butenes and butadiene are of major interest in the R D departments of many large chemical companies. 

The author wishes to thank Dr. J.B. Cohen for supplying samples of Pt and Pd on alumina and silica and Drs. J. Schwank and A.K. Dayte for samples of Ru and Au on magnesia and silica. This work was supported by the US Department of Energy under Contract DMR-76ER02995 and has make use of the resources of the ASU Faoiltity for High Resolution Electron Microscopy, supported by NSF grant DMR 8306501. 

The Department of Ecology strongly recommended against Superfund status on the grounds that the EPA site evaluation included a population impact based on the number of people who could have been affected in a three-mile radius instead of the population actually affected taking into consideration the directions of ground water movement. Providing the affected residences with a potable water supply by the Company and the impacts of total vs. free cyanide were discussed by EPA but were not used in the impact analysis. 

At a minimum, the method will be tested in one FDA laboratory and two contract laboratories selected by the sponsor. If the method is for a new animal drug in tissue regulated by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as part of the meat inspection program, a Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)/USDA laboratory will be included if sufficient resources are available. The method trial will be conducted using control and incurred target tissues that are supplied by the sponsor. The sponsor may, on request, supply new or unusual reagents or standards.
