Download or read book Detailed Project Profiles on 9 Selected Chemical Industries 2nd Revised Edition written by Ajay Kr. Gupta and published by NIIR PROJECT CONSULTANCY SERVICES. This book was released on 2014-05-02 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (LIMITED EDITION- ONLY PHOTOSTAT COPY AVAILABLE) The chemicals sub-sector of industry in India as a whole (including pharmaceuticals) accounts for about 13% of the total output of the manufacturing sector, 13 to 14% in total exports and 8 to 9% in total imports of the country. The sector contributes about 3% to the GDP. It also contributes 18 to 20% to the exchequer by way of taxes. The size of the sub-sector is estimated at around USD 35 bn (approximately Rs 1575 bn). The basic chemicals make up for nearly 57% of the sub-sector, followed by about 26% of specialty chemicals. The rest is made up of high-end chemicals or what are now termed as knowledge segment. Against an overall installed capacity of around 10 mn tonnes, India produces nearly 8 mn tonne, of an assortment of chemicals. These exclude petrochemicals, but include chlor-alkalis, and dyes and dyestuffs. The chemicals industry is a highly versatile segment in the overall industrial economy of India. It has linkages with almost every other industrial activity, be it food processing, metallurgy, textiles, rubber or leather. There is, in fact, hardly any segment where chemicals do not feature. The industry is broadly segmented into four major categories: Chlor-alkali and inorganic chemicals: caustic soda, soda ash, sulphuric acid, titanium dioxide, carbon black, calcium carbide, aluminium fluoride and others; Organic including alcohol-based chemicals: ethyl glycol, phenols, acetic acid, acetic anhydride, vinyl acetate, monomers, ethylene dichloride, ethylacetate and others; Petrochemicals-based specialities: leather and textile auxiliaries, synthetic resins, rubber chemicals, especially for tyres; and Agro-oriented chemicals: guargum, starch, citric acid, sorbitol, yeast and others. Petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, synthetic fibres, fertilisers and pesticides, paints and dye-stuffs constitute over 85% of the market. The remaining 15% represents a wide range of chemical intermediates and industrial or speciality chemicals which have a market of over Rs 240 bn (including imports of about Rs 35 bn). Against the growth dynamics of the chemical industry as a whole, the industrial chemicals segment covering intermediates and speciality chemicals witnessed a somewhat sluggish growth in recent years. Thereafter some upward trend was in evidence as a con-sequence of a rally in user industries like rubber, leather, food processing, textiles especially man-made fibres and fabrics. Downstream industries like chlorinated benzenes, cosmetics and pesticides also registered positive trends. The industry has remained among the fastest growing sectors of the economy. The chemical industry remains concentrated in the western region, which claims a near 50% share of investment flows. In the western region, Gujarat makes the largest contribution to the chemical industry’s production activity. This book provides detailed project profiles of important chemical industries with its properties, uses & applications, manufacturing processes, process flow sheets, cost estimations. The book also contains addresses of machinery and raw material suppliers of the mentioned chemicals. Research scholars, professional students, scientists, new entrepreneurs, and present manufacturers will find valuable educational material and wider knowledge of these 9 selected chemicals in this book. Comprehensive in scope, the book provides solutions that are directly applicable to the properties, manufacturing technology and other specific details of these chemicals.

Download or read book Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics written by National Academy of Engineering and National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1999-08-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics is a corporate-focused analysis that brings clarity and practicality to the complex issues of environmental metrics in industry. The book examines the metrics implications to businesses as their responsibilities expand beyond the factory gateâ€"upstream to suppliers and downstream to products and services. It examines implications that arise from greater demand for comparability of metrics among businesses by the investment community and environmental interest groups. The controversy over what sustainable development means for businesses is also addressed. Industrial Environmental Performance Metrics identifies the most useful metrics based on case studies from four industriesâ€"automotive, chemical, electronics, and pulp and paperâ€"and includes specific corporate examples. It contains goals and recommendations for public and private sector players interested in encouraging the broader use of metrics to improve industrial environmental performance and those interested in addressing the tough issues of prioritization, weighting of metrics for meaningful comparability, and the longer term metrics needs presented by sustainable development.

Download or read book A History of the International Chemical Industry written by Fred Aftalion and published by Chemical Heritage Foundation. This book was released on 2001 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fred Aftalion's international perspective of the history of chemistry integrates the story of chemical science with that of chemical industry. This new edition includes events from 1990 to 2000, when major companies began selling off their divisions, seeking to specialize in a particular business. Aftalion explores the pitfalls these companies encountered as well as the successes of "contrarians"--those companies that remained broad and diversified. He uses BASF, Dow, and Bayer as examples of true contrarians.

Download or read book The Circular Economy Handbook written by Peter Lacy and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we align global production and consumption systems with sustainability? Can business growth actually lead to a healthier planet? Can companies innovate through the circular economy to create competitive advantage and genuine impact? Waste to Wealth proved that the emerging circular economy advantage exists – now Lacy, Long and Spindler show you how to realize it at speed and scale in The Circular Economy Handbook. We stand at a crossroads, with rising geopolitical and geo-economic tensions, massive technological change and a host of social and environmental challenges. We are pushing planetary boundaries to their limits, with climate change and threats to biodiversity and oceans as just a few examples. Significant impacts are already being felt, and both people and planet face potentially catastrophic and irreversible consequences if we don’t urgently change our global model and systems. Our current linear “take, make, waste” models of production and consumption will not be sustainable in a world of some 9 billion people by 2050, especially with ever-expanding rates of consumption. Thriving within these dynamics demands more than incremental adjustments to business-as-usual. The circular economy offers a powerful means to decouple growth from use of scarce and harmful resources, enabling greater production and consumption with fewer negative environmental impacts—at the same time, making companies more innovative and competitive. In fact, this book shows that $4.5 trillion in economic value is at stake. Delivering on the promise of a circular economy demands impact and scale, extending through value chains and, ultimately, disrupting the entire economic system. In The Circular Economy Handbook, the authors illuminate the path from insight to action, from linear to circular. With case studies, advice and practical guidance, they show leaders how to pivot towards a holistic circular organization, embedding circularity internally and delivering broad-based system change. With unique insights across business models, technologies, and industries – featuring stories and real-world examples from circular pioneers – this book is the essential guide to help companies become leaders in the movement to secure the circular economy advantage.

Download or read book Industrial Organic Chemicals written by Harold A. Wittcoff and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1996-03-14 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive overview of industrial organic chemicals The majority of industrial organic chemicals and polymers are derived from seven major building blocks produced from petroleum and natural gas. While the fundamentals of this technology have remained constant in recent decades, the organic chemical industry itself has undergone important changes, especially in the areas of waste reduction and prevention of pollution. This follow-up to the two-volume Industrial Organic Chemicals in Perspective describes the technology and places it in context, showing industrial organic chemists and chemical engineers how to work effectively and profitably within contemporary political and economic exigencies. The authors draw upon their extensive industrial, research, and teaching experience, with compelling and thought-provoking perspective, to create an authoritative reference work that: * Provides an overview of the raw materials, intermediates, and processes involved in the manufacture of organic chemicals and polymers * Focuses in detail on the seven major materials derived from petroleum and natural gas and the processes used to create them * Emphasizes polymerization and catalysis, including the new metallocene catalysts * Presents separate sections on the lesser-volume chemicals * Provides separate chapters on chemicals from nonpetrochemical sources, such as coal, fats and oils, and carbohydrates, which often yield the more profitable specialty chemicals For students and professionals, especially those involved in the design and manufacture of commodity and specialty organic chemicals and polymers, Industrial Organic Chemicals stands as a first-rate reference for the latest in the technology, a helpful guide for current practices, and a source of insight into future developments.
