Synthetic chemicals manufacture

In addition to receiving the John R. Kuebler Award of Alpha Chi Sigma, Professor Bailar has also received the American Chemical Society Award in Chemical Education sponsored by the Scientific Apparatus Makers Association (1964), the Priestley Medal of the American Chemical Society (1964), the Francis P. Dwyer Medal of the Chemical Society of New South Wales (1965), the Alfred Werner Gold Medal of the Swiss Chemical Society (1966), and the Synthetic Chemical Manufacturers Association Award in the Teaching of Chemistry (1968), and has also received Honorary Membership in Phi Lambda Upsilon—the national honorary chemistry fraternity (1959). 

Chemical Manufacturing. Chemical manufacturing accounts for over 50% of all U.S. caustic soda demand. It is used primarily for pH control, neutralization, off-gas scmbbing, and as a catalyst. About 50% of the total demand in this category, or approximately 25% of overall U.S. consumption, is used in the manufacture of organic intermediates, polymers, and end products. The majority of caustic soda required here is for the production of propylene oxide, polycarbonate resin, epoxies, synthetic fibers, and surface-active agents (6). 

Synthetics. The lack of spice products to satisfy demand and the wide variation in price and availabihty have caused the manufacture of selected synthetics, chemically identical to the component in the natural spice, to replace the vital components of some spices. However, synthetic organic chemistry is not yet able to manufacture economically the many homologous piperine [94-62-2] components in black pepper or those capsaicin [404-86-4] amides in... 

Hydrogen chloride and the aqueous solution, muriatic acid, find appHcation in many industries. In general, anhydrous HCl is consumed for its chlorine value, whereas aqueous hydrochloric acid is often utilized as a nonoxidizing acid. The latter is used in metal cleaning operations, chemical manufacturing, petroleum well activation, and in the production of food and synthetic mbber.

The implications of the features of fine chemicals manufacture mentioned above, are, however, not that obvious to all parties taking part in process development. On the one hand, chemical and process engineers are dedicated mainly to the engineering part in process development, often neglecting process chemistry, as this might be erroneously considered less important for a full-scale plant. On the other hand, synthetic chemists often finish their work with laboratory recipes neglecting needs of procedures for process development. The reasons for this approach have been listed by Laird (1989) ... 

Data on nonfatal injuries or chronic diseases caused by chemicals are very difficult to collect. Far too often, it is gathered from reports of compensation Commissions or court decisions in which legal rather than scientific proof prevails. One might venture the guess that at least as many injuries and chronic conditions are caused by synthetic medicaments used improperly, or without adequate medical control, as are caused by the ordinary products of the chemical manufacturing industry. 

Undoubtedly the establishment of toxicological research organizations will be costly, but the cost will be much less than the cost of not establishing them. There are many difficulties to be faced, but none is greater than the practical difficulties which manufacturers of modern synthetic chemicals continually face in their visions of new products or in their attempts at more economic production of well known products.

Naturally occurring phospholipids can be isolated from a variety of sources. One of the most common phospholipid raw materials is egg yolk. However, since the composition of egg phospholipid is from a biological source and can vary considerably depending on age of the eggs, the diet of the chickens, and the method of processing, newer enzymatic and synthetic chemical methods now are being employed to manufacture the required phospholipid derivatives in higher purity and yield.
