Chemistry, process technology and economics of EDC/VCM production. Routes examined include: conventional balanced oxychlorination, acetylene based, and emerging EVC ethane based process. Stand-alone EDC economics are presented. Capacity and supply/demand are included.

Process technology and economics of ntiric acid production. Regional supply/demand forecasts.

The newest techniques to convert HCl to chlorine are assessed. Economics via Kellogg's Kel-Chlor process, Uhde's wet electrolytic process, DuPont's dry electrolytic process, and USC's catalytic carrier process are presented.

Control technologies of halogenated emissions are presented. Economics of VCM emissions control via offgas incineration, membrane separation. Also cost estimates of treating chlorinated aqueous effluents via various methods is presented.
