Plasticizer plant

DSM America produces caprolactam only for merchant sales, both domestic and foreign. BASF is a customer, foUowiag acquisition of Enka s United States fiber and plastics plants, and also a captive producer of caprolactam. AUied-Signal s production is primarily captive for nylon-6 fibers and plastics, but substantial amounts are supplied to the export market.

There is a hardening stage after set when the cement rapidly becomes stronger and less plastic (Plant Wilson, 1970 Bertenshaw, Combe Grant, 1979 Paddon Wilson, 1976 Wilson, Paddon Crisp, 1979).

Solid waste discharges from chemical plants can represent very large problems, especially from paper mills, plastics plants, and food processing plants. Some materials do not decompose in the environment, and can become burdens when they accumulate. Some polymers have backbones that degrade in nature, such as aliphatic polyesters and polyvinyl alcohols others do not, such as polyethylene and polystyrene.

When the plasticizer plant was constructed, the extremely limited space forced the planners to utilize it most economically. According to the experience gained so far, it would be possible to build up a production of 6000 tons/month on an area of 2.300 sq. meters. This capacity limitation is due to the outside measure-... 

Mercury. In Japan in the 1950s and 1060s, wastes from a chemical and plastics plant containing mercury were discharged into Minamata Bay. The mercury was converted to the readily absorbed methylmercury by bacteria in the aquatic sediments. Consumption of fish and shellfish by the local population resulted in numerous cases of mercury poisoning, or Minamata disease. By 1970, at least...

BASF, a multinational chemicals industry leader, reported that plastics consumption grew from 86 million tons in 1990 to 174 million tons in 2003. At one time, BASF projected that plastics demand would grow further to 318 million tons in 2015. However, due to the global economic crisis of 2008-2009, the picture for plastics consumption worldwide changed significantly. Decreasing sales, plastics plant shutdowns and employee layoffs became commonplace. BASF, for example, reported reductions in its production in 2009, and shortened work hours were implemented for more than 4,000 employees early that year. By June 2009, BASF shortened hours for an additional 3,000 employees and planned to cut 2,000 jobs by the end of the year.

The forming section of a plastics plant puts out a continuous sheet of plastic that is 1.2 m wide and 0,1 cm thick at a velocity of 9 m/mln. The temperature of the plastic sheet is SS C when it is exposed to the surrounding air, and a 0.6-m-long section of the plastic sheet is subjected to air flov/ at 25 C at a velocity of 3 m/s on both sides along ils surfaces normal to the direction of... 

SOLUTION Plastic sheets are cooled as they leave the forming section of a plastics plant. The rate of heat loss from the plastic sheet by convection and radiation and the exit temperature of the plastic sheet are to be determined. Assumptions 1 Steady operating conditions exist. 2 The critical Reynolds number is Re, = 5 X 10. 3 Air is an ideal gas. 4 The local atmospheric pressure is 1 atm. 5 The surrounding surfaces are at the temperature of the room air. Properties The properties of the plastic sheet are given in the problem statement. The. properties of air at the film temperature oi T, = [T, + T-rV2 -(95 + 25)/ . = 60°C and 1 atm pressure are (Table A-15)...

In the Philippines, about 69% of the total 15,000 industrial firms are located in Metro Manila. These include industries such as textile mills, chemical factories, paper mills, distilleries, food manufacturing plants, plastic plants, soap and detergent factories and tanneries. As a result, four major river systems—the Pasig, Tullahan-Tenejeros, San Juan and Paranaque-Zapote Rivers—are now biologically dead. The same problems exist in various riverine systems in other parts of the country.

After 2 days away from work, only 1 of 13 workers in the plastics plant had detectable levels of MBOCA in his urine. This worker also had the highest peak urinary MBOCA levels during the preceeding week (Clapp et al. 1991). Another investigation of workers in a polyurethane elastomer factory reported that preshift and postshift urinary levels were not significantly different in all exposed workers and that levels measured 48 hours after cessation of work were not always the lowest (Ichikawa et al. 1990). The difference may partially be explained by the actual levels of...
