Also received this in the inbox In Process | Shell Showcases Emerging Technologies | Chemical Processing Clearly a good step to radically improve energy efficiency in the production of polycarbonates. With the global recession, many chemical plants will have a hard time justifying a move from the present phosgene chemistry. However, long-term (Five to seven years) the energy savings alone will make such an upgrade very attractive
Just after reading this, I read about arboform; a composite polymer based on lignin (byproduct of paper production). All very interesting.
I thought you would like that. Nothing wrong with turning a waste product into a useful product. Chemical Processing is a good journal to subscribe to
Hmmmm, never thought about that. What *are* we going to do with all that phosgene?? I'll think of something ....
