C&E News used to print annual statistics on commodity chemical production in the US under an article titled
"Fact and Figures". They have had similar articles in recent years, but they have not included the production statistics for top industrial chemicals. I believe the most recent data set was for 2010, and this is the list that is printed in Miessler, Fischer, and Tarr (page 250 in the 5th edition). I would very much like to update my lecture, but I have been unable to find a good source. Can anyone direct me to current statisitics for this? I feel like it has to be available in some federal report or other.
I also want to know!
