nitrotoluenos - Safety
Open Data Verified Data
- This product is toxic. Can be rapidly absorbed through the skin. Inhalation of its vapor can be toxic. The harm to human body is similar to that of nitrobenzene. Can cause anemia, but weaker than nitrobenzene. Of the three isomers, P-nitrotoluene is the least toxic. The maximum allowable concentration of nitrotoluene in the air of the workplace is 5 x 10 -6. Production equipment should be sealed to prevent run, run, drop, leakage. The room should be well ventilated. Operators should wear protective equipment to avoid direct contact with it. Drinking alcohol is strictly prohibited before and after work.
- shall be packed in iron drum with a net weight of 200-250 per drum, or be shipped by a truck truck with steam insulation. Fire and moisture shall be prevented during storage. According to the provisions of the storage and transportation of toxic chemicals.

| Use | p-nitrotoluene (PNT), also known as p-nitrotoluene, or 4-nitrotoluene. It is a light yellow substance that can form diamond-shaped crystals and has a somewhat pleasant, characteristic bitter almond odor. It is practically insoluble in water. P-nitrotoluene is mainly used for the production of DSD acid, whitening agent, also used as dye, pesticide, medicine, synthetic fiber intermediate, can also be used as a tracer for explosive detection. p-nitrotoluene is used in the manufacture of p-toluidine, toluene diisocyanate, etc., and is also used as an intermediate for pesticides, dyes, pharmaceuticals, plastics and synthetic fiber auxiliaries, it is also an important chemical raw material, which can produce P-toluidine, P-nitrobenzoic acid, P-nitrotoluene sulfonic acid, 2-chloro-4-nitrotoluene, 2-nitro-4-methylaniline, dinitrotoluene, etc, it is also an intermediate for pharmaceuticals and dyes. mainly used in the manufacture of p-toluidine, toluene diisocyanate, P-toluidine, P-nitrobenzoic acid, P-nitrotoluene-2-sulfonic acid, 2-nitro-p-toluidine, 3-chloro-4-nitrotoluene, dinitrotoluene, etc, it is also used as dye intermediates and intermediates for pesticides, pharmaceuticals, plastics and synthetic fiber auxiliaries. used as pesticide, dye, coating, pharmaceutical and other intermediates |
| preparation | p-nitrotoluene is an important organic intermediate in medicine, dye and other industries, which often uses concentrated nitric acid as nitrating agent, concentrated sulfuric acid as a catalyst, prepared by the nitration reaction of toluene. A new experimental method for the preparation of p-nitrotoluene is: fuming nitric acid as nitrating agent, solid NaHSO as catalyst (can be recycled), in CCl4 solution, acetic anhydride (with dehydration) was added and reacted at 45 °c for 1H. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was filtered, and the filtrate was washed with 5% NaHCO3, the solution and water to neutral, and then separated and purified to obtain p-nitrotoluene. |
| production method | toluene is nitrated with a mixed acid, and p-nitrotoluene is obtained by separation, and O-nitrotoluene is simultaneously produced. The preparation method is to add toluene to the nitrification reactor, cool to 25 ℃ or less, and add mixed acid (nitric acid 25% ~ 30%, sulfuric acid 55% ~ 58% and water 20% ~ 21%), temperature rise, adjust the temperature not to exceed 50 ℃, continue to stir 1~2 h reaction, stand for 6 h, the generated nitrobenzene separation, water washing, alkali washing, the crude nitrotoluene contains O-nitrotoluene, P-nitrotoluene and M-nitrotoluene. The crude nitrotoluene is subjected to vacuum distillation to separate Most O-nitrotoluene, and the remaining P-nitrotoluene fraction containing more p-nitrotoluene is separated by vacuum distillation, cooled and crystallized to obtain p-nitrotoluene, the M-nitrobenzene in the separation of the parent body in the mother liquor after the accumulation of distillation and obtained. |
