The yearly worldwide production of lanthanides is nearly 70,000 tons (18) measured as contained Ln oxide. The primary sources are given in Table 2. For finished products the principal supplying companies are Molycorp (United States), Rhc ne-Poulenc (France), several Japanese companies, such as Mitsubishi, Santoku, and Shinetsu, and some Chinese organi2ations. The rise of Chinese lanthanide production during the 1980s has become a significant factor in the global market picture.

It is likely that the reliable crude oil supply will not diminish any time soon. Petroleum-derived fuels will remain the primary source of transportation energy for well into the twenty-first century. Producers and refiners have been, and will be, environmentally responsible. The existing infrastructure of advanced product distribution systems can compete with alternative fuels readily. Future fuels will be competitive, both economically and environmentally. New global market conditions will dictate closure of inefficient facilities and investment in new technology. Larger and more efficient operations will survive and will focus on the niche market. ... 

In the world today there is there is a clear trend in almost every market sector for companies and organizations to focus their activities on enhancing core-competencies and build national or global market brands to advance their respective market leadership positions.

Carotenoids are one of the most abundant groups of pigments found in nature. Every year more than 100 million tonnes of them are being synthesized in the biosphere. Nearly 600 molecular species of carotenoids are currently identified (Del Campo et al., 2007). As powerful antioxidants, vitamin precursors, natural colorants, and odorants they became a serious global market commodity accounting for almost 1 billion dollars of the yearly trade (BCC research, 2007).

Overview Batch processes are mostly suited to low volume high value added products that are usually characterised by common recipes, which render them amenable to sharing of equipment units. Due to their intrinsic adaptation to sudden changes in recipe, they are processes of choice in volatile or unstable conditions that have become regular in global markets. This chapter provides the background information on batch chemical processes, which constitutes the basis for the forthcoming chapters. Only the essential elements of batch plants are captured with references, where necessary, to further sources of information for the benefit of the reader.
