Phenol Consumption苯酚的消费情况？ P henol demand is driven by the production of polycarbonate resin and bisphenol A. In 2006, Phenol consumption is about 8400 Kt, Bisphenol A (BPA) accounted for 42.8 % , followed by phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins at 27 .6 % , caprolactam sulfonate at 9.1%, aniline at 3.6%, Alkylphenol at 6.0%,others accounted for 10.9 %. Bisphenol A (BPA) accounted for 44% of global phenol consumption in 2007, followed by phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resins at 27%. BPA and PF resins are produced in all regions; production of BPA is more prevalent in developed economies. However, investments in BPA facilities have begun or are scheduled to begin in developing regions where demand has surged in recent years. Other applications for phenol include caprolactam, alkylphenols, aniline and adipic acid. Phenol consumption for caprolactam and, to a lesser degree, alkylphenols is limited mainly to the United States and Western Europe. Demand for BPA, PF resins and caprolactam is greatly influenced by general economic conditions. As a result, demand for phenol largely follows the patterns of the leading world economies. The latest report published by SRI consulting company shows, in the future 5 years, Phenol demand will keep increasing at 3.4%, the amount of consumption will reach 10000 Kt in 2012 .The capacity utilization of phenol in 2007 was 85%. The report also said, the global economic slowdown in recent years ,especially in developed areas, phenol market will cool down in 2008. With the new capacity in East Asia will soon put into operation ， and it meet its own demand in this area, the chance to export and operating factor in north America and west Europe will decline. SRIC predict that，there will be more phenol lines whose capacity is more than 2600Kt/a will put into operation before the end of 2012,mainly driven by demand of BPA and PC. Most of the new line will in Asia(Japan is not included). ( [ ]查看更多0个回答 . 1人已关注
