Buckhannon, West Virginia (January 2006). Twelve miners were killed in the International Coal Corporation s Sago Mine when lightning ignited methane gas that had accumulated in an area that had recently been sealed off with inexpensive Omega blocks instead of the more expensive solid concrete blocks that the company had previously used for seals. ...

The Reppe process is based on acetylene as a raw material. These reactions were developed by Reppe et al. [2]. In accordance with the rise of the petrochemical industry, most processes switched from acetylene to olefins as raw material. However, only the 1,4-butanediol production process continued to rely on the Reppe process. Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation developed a totally different production method that uses 1,3-butadiene to produce 1,4-butanediol and THF. Commercial production was launched in 1982 and has been continued ever since. This process ended the over-half-century monopoly of the Reppe method. The Mitsubishi Chemical method has an advantage over the Reppe method with respect to the handling of raw materials and production costs, but in recent years, Chinese companies that can take advantage of inexpensive natural gas and coal have built a new production plant by using the Reppe method and international competition is getting more intense.

In 1987 a world record for length of an open tubular column and number of theoretical plates was set. as attested in the Guinness Book of Records, by Chrompack International Corporation of the Netherlands. The column was a fused-silica column drawn in one piece and having an internal diameter of 0,32 mm and a length of 2,1 km, or 1.3 miles. The column was coaled with a 0.1 m film of polydimethyl siloxane. A l,3-km section of this column contained more than 2 million plate.s,...
