Rosin and its derivatives are economically the most important natural resins. Approximately 1150 x 10 metric tons of these materials are produced annually and sold throughout the world. The principal producers are the People s RepubHc of China (ca 40%) and the United States (ca 25%), followed by Russia. Most of the remainder is produced in Indonesia, Portugal, Finland, India, Bra2il, and Mexico. In 1996, the lowest grades of rosin were priced at 750/t. Most rosin is converted to its many derivatives to meet requirements for industrial appHcations. The principal producers of rosin derivatives are Ari2ona Chemical Company, Hercules Incorporated, Westvaco, Union Camp, and Georgia-Pacific.

Higher grade fatty acids with less than 2% rosin are obtained by further distiUation. Union Camp uses two columns to achieve this. The first column is used to separate light ends and the second column to separate a mixture of rosin and higher boiling fatty acids. This mixture with about 40% rosin is sold as DistiUed TaU Oil (DTO). Standard specifications for TOFA grades have been estabHshed by ASTM (25) as shown in Table 3. Also, the Pulp Chemicals Association provides specifications on TOFA having either more or less than 2% rosin.

Sebacic Acid. This acid is produced commercially by Union Camp in Dover, Ohio, by Hokoku OU Company in Japan, and by a state enterprise in the People s RepubHc of China (57). The process used in each case is based on the caustic oxidation of castor oU or ricinoleic acid [141-22-0] in... 

There are currentiy no commercial producers of C-19 dicarboxyhc acids. During the 1970s BASF and Union Camp Corporation offered developmental products, but they were never commercialized (78). The Northern Regional Research Laboratory (NRRL) carried out extensive studies on preparing C-19 dicarboxyhc acids via hydroformylation using both cobalt catalyst and rhodium complexes as catalysts (78). In addition, the NRRL developed a simplified method to prepare 9-(10)-carboxystearic acid in high yields using a palladium catalyst (79). 

In 1991, ia addition to Henkel (now including Emery), commercial producers of dimer acids ia the U.S. were Arizona Chemical, Schering Berlin, Humko Chemical Division of Witco, and Union Camp Corporation. There are other producers throughout the world.

Compare this to 31 lb per person annually in Asia and 11 lb in Africa. There are about 200 pulp mills and 600 paper and paperboard mills in operation now. Some names of companies in this industry in order of sales from first to tenth are International Paper, Georgia-Pacific, Stone Container, Scott Paper, James River, Weyerhaeuser, Champion International, Union Camp, Mead, and Boise Cascade. 

Biofiltration is typically used to reduce hazardous air pollutants for regulatory compliance or odor control. According to vendor literature, this technology is designed to treat gas streams with dilute concentrations of 1,500 parts per million (ppm) or less. There are over 75 BIOTON installations operating worldwide including KODAK, Fuji Photo, Mercedes Benz, Coca-Cola, and Union Camp.

Thus terpenes (a-pinene, (3-pinene) can be produced from natural turpentine, as is traditionally done by rosin producers such as Hercules, Glidden, or Union Camp in the United States, or on a smaller scale in France by Societe des Derives Resiniques et Terpeniques, DRT. BASF and Hoffmann-La Roche, however, have demonstrated that starting from acetylene or isobutylene, terpene chemicals can be synthetically reproduced. Both companies are able to produce both their vitamins and perfume bases in this way.
