In France, however, there was no vertical integration between the great national chemical industry and the surfactant sector. Producers of the latter had to find the necessary feedstock—whether ethylene oxide, alkylphenols, fatty acids or higher alcohols— from rival companies, while for instance a medium-sized company like Berol Chemie in Sweden, recently acquired by Nobel Industries, had its own source of ethylene oxide, amines and nonylphenol in Stenungsund to feed its surfactants division. 

Companies like Rhone-Poulenc, Berol and Witco are, for their part, interested in the pesticide formulation market. Fatty amines are in the hands of such European firms as AKZO, Kenobel (Nobel Industries) and CECA (Atochem). 

From the end of World War I until the 1926 formation of ICI, Nobel Industries had continued to produce primarily explosives and propellants. Unlike Du Pont following World War I, Nobel did not attempt to diversify into nitrocellulose-based products such as paints, pigments, finishes, rayon, and plastic products. Between 1919 and 1926, of its 12.3 million profits, 9.4...

ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries). Formed in 1926 by the amalgamation of four major chemical companies, including British Dyestuffs (Kollewe and Wearden, 2007). Two of the other organizations, Brunner Mond and United Alkali, already produced alkalis used as basic components for many chemical processes, particularly washing and dyeing textiles. The last of the four companies, Nobel Industries was founded by Alfred Nobel (of the Nobel Peace Prize) and manufactured explosives.

This process was developed by a division of Nobel Industries, a major chemical corporation in Sweden. The heart of the process is a unique adsorbent called Bonopore 110, which is described as a microporous, crosslinked polymer in the form of spherical particles with a narrow size distribution (Heinegard, 1988). The particles have a pore diameter of approximately 80 A, a. specific surface area of about 800 sq m per gram, and a diameter of about 0.5 mm. Adsorption isotherms for four typical organic compounds and Bonopore 110 are given in Figure 12-48. The polymer adsorbent is claimed to have the following advantages over activated carbon ...
