use is mainly used for the production of sulfide dyes, such as sulfide black BN, BRN, 2BRN, etc. It is also used to produce picric acid and developer. Used as an acid-base indicator in analytical chemistry, the color change range is pH = 2.8 (colorless)-4.4 (yellow); It can also be used to detect potassium, ammonium, magnesium, etc.
used to make dyes, picric acid and imaging agents, etc.
used as dyes, pesticides and pharmaceutical intermediates, etc.
Production method is obtained by hydrolysis of 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene in alkaline solution. Add 1400L of water to the hydrolysis pot, stir and heat to 60 ℃, and add 750kg of melted 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene to the pot. Continue to raise the temperature to 90 ℃, and gradually add 780L 30% sodium hydroxide solution within 1.5h. The temperature rises during feeding, the control temperature shall not exceed 102-104 ℃, and the temperature shall be kept for 30min. Cooling and filtering the precipitated sodium salt. Dissolve with water and acidify to pH 1, that is, the yellow crystals of 2, 4-dinitrophenol are precipitated. Another preparation method is obtained by low-temperature nitration of phenol. The 67% sulfuric acid, 53% nitric acid and phenol are evenly mixed below 30 ℃, and then heated to 90 ℃ under stirring. The mixture starts to react violently and releases nitrogen oxide to control the reaction speed and reduce the loss of reactants. After the reaction is relaxed, heat it for 30min, cool it, filter it, and wash it to obtain the product. Refining can be by acid-base method or recrystallization with ethanol.
