Ethoxyethane - Safety
Open Data Verified Data
- This product is toxic. Irritation to the skin than toluene, xylene is stronger, its vapor in the presence of toxic effects below the concentration, will stimulate the eyes, respiratory organs and mucous membranes. At the same time can make the central nervous system first excited, and then a state of anesthesia. At room temperature, the animal can be killed by inhaling saturated ethylbenzene vapor for 30~60min, and the concentration of 1% is to stimulate the mucosa. Within 2~3H, the nerve disorder is caused by the action on the central nervous system, he died of anesthesia. The LC for mice was 10400x 10-6. On the human body in the 1000 x 10-6, has the eye, the skin has a strong stimulation.
- the maximum allowable concentration in the workplace is 100 × 10_6. Ventilation and ventilation should be strengthened at the operation site, and the equipment should be sealed to prevent leakage. Operators should wear protective masks. When acute poisoning is found, you should leave the scene immediately, perform artificial respiration if necessary, inject cardiotonic agent, and ask a doctor for treatment. This product is a flammable and toxic substances, can be used in iron drum packaging or tank car transport, should be stored in a ventilated and cool place to prevent exposure to the sun and heat.

| preparation | ① ethylbenzene can be prepared by reacting with ethylene using benzene as raw material and aluminum trichloride as catalyst. (2) using benzene as raw material, silica as carrier and alumina as catalyst, ethylbenzene can be prepared by reacting with ethylene at high temperature and high pressure. (3) using benzene as raw material, diatomite and phosphoric acid as catalyst, and ethylene for multi-stage catalytic reaction, ethylbenzene can be prepared. The above three methods are based on benzene as raw material, using catalytic method and ethylene reaction, the reaction is carried out at high temperature and high pressure. ④ ethylbenzene can also be obtained by selective alkylation of waste gas containing olefins and aromatic hydrocarbons with boron trifluoride as catalyst. (5) with Hydroxyethyl benzene as raw material, trifluoroacetic acid and triethylsilane as catalyst, ethylbenzene can be prepared. |
| production method | commercially ethylbenzene is obtained from the reaction of benzene with ethylene in the presence of a catalyst, it can also be separated from the C8 fraction of the naphtha reformate. Approximately 90% of ethylbenzene is now produced industrially by alkylation of benzene. 1. The liquid phase alkylation method is usually at atmospheric pressure, 85-90 ℃, using aluminum trichloride as Catalyst, the reaction of ethylene and benzene to produce ethylbenzene. The side reaction is that ethylbenzene is further alkylated with ethylene to produce polyethylbenzene. The conversion of benzene is industrially limited to 52-55% on the right, and a high benzene-to-ethylene molar ratio (typically around 2) is used to prevent the formation of more diethylbenzene and polyethylbenzene. The average yield of ethylbenzene was 94-96%. 2. The gas phase alkylation method is initially ethylene and excess benzene in phosphoric acid-diatomite with alumina-silica gel catalyst, at 300 deg C, 4-6 MPA for gas phase alkylation reaction to obtain ethylbenzene. Since the catalyst used cannot perform the dealkylation of the polyethylbenzene, the polyethylbenzene cannot be treated. Although the production of polyethylbenzene is reduced by increasing the proportion of benzene, the distillation Cost of circulating benzene is increased. Separation of C8 aromatics from aromatic hydrocarbons produced by catalytic reforming of ethylbenzene. After the separation of benzene and toluene, the boiling point of each component of the mixed xylene fraction is very close. The separation of ethylbenzene by distillation requires 300-400 trays, and the reflux ratio is 75. Alternatively, adsorption separation and chromatographic separation may be used to separate ethylbenzene. Since the separation of ethylbenzene from C8 Aromatics has been economically unable to compete with benzene alkylation of ethylbenzene, and a new generation of noble metal isomerization catalysts can effectively convert ethylbenzene to xylene, thus, the importance of ethylbenzene separation is greatly reduced. |
