Description:
The catalog of Industrial Process Profiles for Environmental Use was developed as an aid in defining the environmental impacts of industrial activity in the United States. Entries for each industry are in consistent format and form separate chapters of the study. The organic dyes and pigments industry is engaged in the conversion of purchased organic chemicals, usually cyclid benzenoids, into more complex intermediates and ultimately into dyes and pigments. Forty-two chemical trees, thirty-four process flow sheets, and forty-eight process descriptions have been prepared to characterize the industry. Within each process description available data have been presented on input materials, operating parameters, utility requirements, and waste streams. Data related to the subject matter, including company, product, and raw material data, are included as appendices.
