Formaldehyde production technologies (via metal oxide catalyst and silver catalyst) have been reviewed. Regional costs of production for formaldehyde have been evaluated. Global supply/demand are included.
Linear alpha olefin (LAO) comonomer technologies for polyethylene have been reviewed. Regional process economics for the production of full-range LAO and on-purpose butene-1, hexene-1, and octene-1 have been evaluated. Regional supply/demand for alpha olefins (butene-1, hexene-1, octene-1) is included.
Commercial oxo alcohols production technologies (hydroformylation/hydrogenation) have been reviewed. Regional costs of production for n-butanol, 2-ethylhexanol (2-EH), 2-propylheptanol (2-PH), Isononanol (INA), have been evaluated. Global supply/demand for n-butanol, isobutanol, 2-EH, 2-PH, and INA are included.
Process technologies for the production of nitrobenzene, aniline, and methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), have been reviewed. Regional costs of production for each of these have also been evaluated. Global supply for nitrobenzene and aniline, and supply/demand for MDI are also included.
