Sulfonated Styrenic Block Copolymers Two kinds of styrene-based membranes were introduced by Dais Analytic Corporation (see Fig. 29.10). The first was fabricated from a commercially available styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene triblock polymer (Kraton) by postsulfonation of the styrenic units (Ehrenberg et al., 1995). Later, a new Dais Analytic membrane was developed based on an ethylene-styrene pseudorandom interpolymer from Dow Chemical Corporation (Serpico et al., 2002). Using a... 

In 1989 chlorine was produced by 25 companies at 52 locations in the United States (Table 4). Approximately half of these plants are located in the Southeast (Eig. 2). Two companies, Dow Chemical USA and Occidental Chemical Corporation, accounted for 54.3% of the total operating capacity the top five companies accounted for 77.5%. Although 0.8 million tons per year of chlorine capacity is presendy idle (Table 4), announced expansions are expected to bring an additional 660,000 t of new chlorine capacity onstream by 1992, increasing total capacity by about 6%/yr (Table 5). 

Although Saran is a generic name for VDC copolymers in the United States, it is a Dow trademark in most foreign countries. Other trade names include Daran (Hampshire Chemical Corporation) and Serfene (Morton Chemical) in the United States, and Haloflex (Zeneca Resins), Diofan (BASE), Ixan (Solvay SA), and Polyidene (Scott-Bader) in Europe. The monomer is of particular economic interest because it is only 27 wt % hydrocarbon. In addition, B. E. Goodrich Chemicals (GEON) supply non-barrier VDC copolymers. 

Benzaldehyde is produced ia the United States by Kalama Chemical Incorporated, Kalama, Washington and ia Canada by Chatterton Petrochemical Corporation, Delta, British Columbia. Both plants were constmcted by The Dow Chemical Company ia the early 1960s to produce phenol from benzoic acid and both produce benzaldehyde as a by-product of that process (6). Production and sales figures for benzaldehyde are not available.

The only U.S. manufaeturers of trichloroethylene are DOW Chemical in Freeport, Texas, and PPG Industries in Lake Charles, Louisiana (CMR 1986 SRI 1987). These two manufaeturers have a eombined annual production capacity of 320 million pounds (SRI 1987). Prior to 1982, Ethyl Corporation, Diamond Shamrock, and Hooker Chemieal manufactured triehloroethylene (CMR 1983 Mannsville 1992).
