The chemical industry comprises the companies that produce industrial chemicals. Central to the modern world economy, it converts raw materials (oil, natural gas, air, water, metals, and minerals) into more than 70,000 different products.
Although chemicals were made and used throughout history, the birth of the heavy chemical industry (production of chemicals in large quantities for a variety of uses) coincided with the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution in general.
One of the first chemicals to be produced in large amounts through industrial process was sulfuric acid. In 1736, the pharmacist Joshua Ward developed a process for its production that involved heating saltpeter and allowing the sulfur to oxidize and combine with water. It was the first practical production of sulfuric acid on a large scale. John Roebuck and Samuel Garbett were the first to establish a large-scale factory in Prestonpans in 1749, which used leaden condensing chambers for the manufacture of sulfuric acid.

Other times, discovery came out of pure desperation from a seemingly dead-end experiment. Here are some of those happy accidents that ended up changing the world.

Visit us: www.beumergroup.com The chemical industry is witnessing rapidly increasing requirements in the area of conveying and loading technology and in the fields of packaging and palletizing. BEUMER reacted to the increasing throughput rates in the chemical industry with its high-capacity palletizing system BEUMER paletpac® 2500. The use of a newly designed rotatable clamp system turns the filled bags into the desired packing pattern at an exceptional speed. This system enables the BEUMER palletizing technology to reach a top capacity of up to 2500 bags per hour. When combined with the new BEUMER stretch hood® machine, the BEUMER paletpac® 2500 forms a complete, high-capacity packaging line that fulfils all of the needs of the chemical industry. The stretch hood is watertight on five s...
More than 96% of all manufactured goods are directly touched by the chemical industry. Environmental, health, safety and security (EHS&S;) programs exist to give businesses a way of verifying that they're manufacturing as efficiently, effectively and safely as possible. Luckily, there are programs specifically designed to be the right fit for different kinds of chemical companies. To meet federal regulations, reduce pollution levels, companies must choose the EHS&S; program that's right for their business.

The good folks at Natural News put together this short - but extremely revealing - video about the origins of both the American Medical Association and the notorious Food and Drug Administration. The link between the FDA and the chemical industry answers a lot of questions. Now we know why so few doctors ask about chemical 'exposure', to include fluoride.
Since World War I, often called the chemists’ war, the world has been concerned about the ease with which chemical production can be converted into war production. The March 2012 JPS explored this topic in depth. We heard from Jeffrey A. Johnson, professor, Department of History, Villanova University, and president of the Commission on the History of Modern Chemistry within the history division of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science. Johnson presented “The Great War and the German Chemical Industry: Origins of the Dual-Use Dilemma.”
(Verse)
Wide open skies, poisoned,
A paradise of progress, profit’s gain.
White parking lots, asphalt, traffic, exhaust,
Taste the acid rain.
(Verse)
I hope you know, who’ll reap what we sow,
Our children’s children’s kids.
We wanna to breathe in clean air,
We wanna swim in oceans blue and clear.
(Bridge)
Too busy turning blood to gold.
(Chorus)
Chemicals, chemicals, fall softly in the rain,
But I cannot find words to ease the pain.
Chemicals, chemicals, in each and every thing,
Take your chemicals now to ease the pain.
(Verse)
Drill baby drill, nevermind BP’s spill,
Sealife looks slick in black.
Trash islands float, fish kills soar, ice caps go,
Stocks rise, break out champagne!
(Verse)
We’ve just got one, ride around the sun,
It’s not your own trash can.
We’ve got to seize the moment, turn this around,
Take back the future now.
(Bridge)
Too busy turning blood to gold.
(Chorus)
Chemicals, chemicals, fall softly in the rain,
But I cannot find words to ease the pain.
Chemicals, chemicals, in each and every thing,
