In 1988 diaphragm cells accounted for 76% of all U.S. chlorine production, mercury cells for 17%, membrane cells for 5%, and all other production methods for 2%. Corresponding statistics for Canadian production are diaphragm cells, 81% mercury cells, 15% and membrane cells, 4% (5). for a number of reasons, including concerns over mercury pollution, recent trends are away from mercury cell production toward the more environmentally acceptable membrane cells, which also produce higher quality product and have favorable economics. 

The first successflil production method for the separation of Pu from U and its fission products was the bismuth phosphate process, based on the carrying of Pu by a precipitate of BiPO (126). That process has been superseded by Hquid-Hquid extraction (qv) and ion exchange (qv). In the Hquid-Hquid... 

The other significant production method for natural benzaldehyde involves the steam distillation of bitter almond oil which has been derived from the kernels of fmit such as apricots, peaches, cherries, plums, or pmnes. The benzaldehyde product obtained in this fashion is claimed to have a superior flavor profile. The use of peach and apricot pits to produce the more profitable product laettile apparently affects the supply available to natural benzaldehyde producers.

Production methods for all three elements are complicated and dependent on the particular ore involved they will therefore only be sketched in outline. In the case of nickel the oxide ores are not generally amenable to concentration by normal physical separations and so the whole ore has to be treated. By contrast the sulfide ores... 

The principal production methods for acrylamide polymers are polymerization in aqueous solutions, mixed solvent solutions, and various dispersed phases. 

This method is one of the dry methods in which no chemical reaction is involved. Preparation of ultrafine particles by physical vapor deposition (PVD) dose not require washing and calcination, which are indispensable for chemical preparation such as in CP and DP methods. As waste water and waste gases are not by-produced, the arc plasma (AP) method is expected to grow in popularity as one of the industrial production methods for gold catalysts and as a clean preparation method. 

Phenol is the starting material for numerous intermediates and finished products. About 90% of the worldwide production of phenol is by Hock process (cumene oxidation process) and the rest by toluene oxidation process. Both the commercial processes for phenol production are multi step processes and thereby inherently unclean [1]. Therefore, there is need for a cleaner production method for phenol, which is economically and environmentally viable. There is great interest amongst researchers to develop a new method for the synthesis of phenol in a one step process [2]. Activated carbon materials, which have large surface areas, have been used as adsorbents, catalysts and catalyst supports [3,4], Activated carbons also have favorable hydrophobicity/ hydrophilicity, which make them suitable for the benzene hydroxylation. Transition metals have been widely used as catalytically active materials for the oxidation/hydroxylation of various aromatic compounds. 

The conventional production method for SiC - the reaction of coke and sand (Acheson process) -does not involve soluble or fusible intermediates. For many applications of silicon carbide this fact is not necessarily a disadvantage, but for the preparation of ceramic composites such intermediates are required. 

The successful use of crop plants as a production method for biopolymer not only depends on the amount of PHA accumulated in plants but also on the type and quality of the PHA synthesized. Since poly(3HB) is a polymer with poor physical characteristics [16], it was important to engineer plants for the synthesis of PHA co-polymers with better physical characteristics. Poly(3-hydroxybu-tyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [poly(3HB-co-3HV)] is the best studied co-poly-mer. Poly(3HB-co-3HV) has lower crystallinity, and is more flexible and less brittle than poly(3HB) homopolymer [16]. Synthesis of poly(3HB-co-3HV) in bacteria was first achieved by fermentation of R. eutropha on glucose and propionic acid [2]. For a number of years, production of poly(3HB-co-3HV),... 

PEC. The patent includes the production method for the biocatalyst, with a characteristic inhibitory effect on certain enzyme expression. The expression recombinant vector contains a promoter free from manifesting inhibition due to an inorganic sulfur compound or a sulfur-containing amino acid. The recombinant microorganism also contains a gene for desulfurizing the sulfur-containing heterocyclic compound. 

Production, Import/Export, Use, Release, and Disposal. Production methods for 72-hexane are described in the literature, and there does not appear to be a need for further information. Uses of -hexane are documented, although a detailed description of all uses is not available. Quantitative estimates of production levels for the more highly purified forms of 72-hexane are available. The amounts of -hexane associated with many types of motor and heating fuels can only be roughly estimated. Information on import and export levels is lacking. This information would be useful for estimating the...

This chapter, after an introduction on the production methods for bioethanol and its use as biofuel, discusses the catalytic upgrading and valorization of bioethanol. 

The field of vaccine research is very active. Exhibit 4.6 summarizes examples of some selected vaccines. Appendix 5 shows a table of the production methods for selected vaccines.

Optically active EP is an important C3 chiral building block for the synthesis of chiral pharmaceuticals such as j9-adrenergic blockers [11 -13], vitamins [14,15], pheromones [16], natural products [17], and new materials such as ferro-electric crystals [18]. Racemic EP can be made via 2,3-DCP and l,3-dichloro-2-pro-panol (1,3-DCP) synthesized from propylene by organic synthesis [19] however, a practical production method for optically active EP has not yet been established. Racemic 2,3-DCP, which is easily synthesized by the chemical... 

Production, Use, Release, and Disposal. Production methods for 1,2-diphenylhydrazine are well described in the literature (including he patent literature) there does not appear to be a need for further information in this area. Uses of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine are documented but no recent production figures or detailed descriptions of uses are available. This information is useful for estimating the potential for environmental releases from manufacturing and use industries as well as the potential environmental burden, but it is difficult to obtain in the detail desired since it is considered confidential business information for those industries that manufacture... 

Fig. 8.9 shows U.S. prices for the aromatics in dollars per gallon. As in the olefins we see very steady pricing to the mid 70s, then heavy increases through the late 70s because of the oil embargo and early 80s because of higher inflation rates, followed by ups and downs, especially for benzene. For the hydrodealkylation of toluene to be profitable as a production method for benzene the price of toluene must be 50C/gal lower than that for benzene. Sometimes this happens, sometimes not. / -Xylene is the more expensive isomer of the two commercial xylenes because of the crystallization process required. The commercial value of benzene is approximately 2 billion. 

HFCS processes could not have been developed if efficient enzyme-based production methods for converting starch into glucose had not already been developed.
