Storage method
Storage Precautions[22] Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Keep container tightly sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants, reducing agents, alkalis, and food chemicals, and avoid mixed storage. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.
Synthesis method
Toluene is nitrated with mixed acid to produce mixed nitrotoluene, which is mainly o-nitrotoluene (accounting for about two-thirds) and p-nitrotoluene (accounting for about one-third). The pure product can be obtained after separation . Add toluene into the reactor, cool it to below 25°C, add the prepared mixed acid (i.e. 25-30% nitric acid, 55-58% sulfuric acid and 20-21% water), and adjust the temperature not to exceed 50°C. Stir continuously for 1-2 hours, then let it stand for 6 hours. Separate the generated nitrotoluene, wash with water and alkali to remove unreacted toluene and aliphatic compounds. The composition of the crude nitrotoluene product is o-nitrotoluene 55-60 %, meta position 2-5%, counter position 35-40%. The yield is 90-95%. The isomers can be separated by crude distillation and crystallization using the difference between boiling point and melting point. That is, the crude nitrotoluene is first subjected to vacuum distillation to separate most of the o-nitrotoluene, and the remaining fraction containing more p-nitrotoluene is separated by vacuum distillation, cooled, crystallized, and separated to obtain Finished product. High-boiling tar-like substances remain in the still. Meta-nitrotoluene is contained in the mother liquor after separation of the para-mer, and is obtained by distillation after repeated accumulation. The purity of ortho- and para-nitrotoluene can reach 98% and 99% respectively. The domestic process involves two pots connected in series, with the reaction temperature of the main pot being 40-45°C and the secondary pot being 50-55°C. The preparation of mixed acid is roughly similar, 26-28% nitric acid, 56-57% sulfuric acid, and 16-18% water. Raw material consumption quota: toluene (98%) 800kg/t, nitric acid (98%) 470kg/t, sulfuric acid (92.5%) 450kg/t, caustic soda (42%) 100kg/t.
Purpose
