Manufacture. There are two main 2-pyrroHdinone producers. International Specialty Products (ISP) (GAF Corporation) has manufacturing facihties in Calvert City, Kentucky, and Texas City, Texas, and BASF manufactures it at Ludwigshafen, Germany. Both producers consume most of thek production in the manufacture of l-vinyl-2-pyrrohdinone. 

There are two main processes for conversion of celestite, ie, strontium sulfate, to strontium carbonate. The principal process is the black ash process. Strontium nitrate is produced by dissolving celestite in nitric acid and purifying it. Most other strontium compounds are produced from strontium nitrate. To service this market, NOAH Technologies Corporation (San Antonio, Texas) has estabUshed a plant in Mexico to manufacture most commercial- and reagent-grade strontium compounds except strontium carbonate. 

It is carried out in the Hquid phase at 100—130°C and catalyzed by a soluble molybdenum naphthenate catalyst, also in a series of reactors with interreactor coolers. The dehydration of a-phenylethanol to styrene takes place over an acidic catalyst at about 225°C. A commercial plant (50,51) was commissioned in Spain in 1973 by Halcon International in a joint venture with Enpetrol based on these reactions, in a process that became known as the Oxirane process, owned by Oxirane Corporation, a joint venture of ARCO and Halcon International. Oxirane Corporation merged into ARCO in 1980 and this process is now generally known as the ARCO process. It is used by ARCO at its Channelview, Texas, plant and in Japan and Korea in joint ventures with local companies. A similar process was developed by Shell (52—55) and commercialized in 1979 at its Moerdijk plant in the Netherlands. The Shell process uses a heterogeneous catalyst of titanium oxide on siHca support in the epoxidation step. Another plant by Shell is under constmction in Singapore (ca 1996).

Figure 9-13). A response, of course, is a sudden rise in amplitude at a speed. The analysis is performed using a mathematical model that includes the effects of damping in the equations, making the model much more complex than any previous analysis. The University of Virginia carries out continuous research in which a consortium of users, vendors, and researchers provide funds, and data and interchange ideas to advance the science of rotor dynamics. Other organizations, such as the Bently Rotor Dynamics Research Corporation and Texas A M University, are also carrying on similar work on a continuing basis.

He then joined the Central Research Establishment of the Home Office Forensic Science Service (as it then was) at Aldermaston where he developed thermogravimetry-MS, pyrolysis-MS, GC-MS and LC-MS methodologies for the identification of analytes associated with crime investigations. It was here that his interest in LC-MS began with the use of an early moving-belt interface. This interest continued during periods of employment with two manufacturers of LC-MS equipment, namely Kratos and subsequently Interion, the UK arm of the Vestec Corporation of Houston, Texas, the company set up by Marvin Vestal, the primary developer of the thermospray LC-MS interface.

The only U.S. manufaeturers of trichloroethylene are DOW Chemical in Freeport, Texas, and PPG Industries in Lake Charles, Louisiana (CMR 1986 SRI 1987). These two manufaeturers have a eombined annual production capacity of 320 million pounds (SRI 1987). Prior to 1982, Ethyl Corporation, Diamond Shamrock, and Hooker Chemieal manufactured triehloroethylene (CMR 1983 Mannsville 1992).
