Abstract:
Process for scrubbing a crude mixture which is obtained in the nitration of toluene after separating off the nitrating acid and comprises dinitrotoluene, nitric acid, nitrogen oxides and sulfuric acid, which comprises two scrubbing steps (WS-I) and (WS-II), wherein i) in a first scrubbing step (WS-I), the crude mixture is extracted with a scrubbing acid I comprising nitric acid, nitrogen oxides and sulfuric acid in a scrub comprising at least one extraction stage, where the scrubbing acid discharged from the first extraction stage (WS-I-1) of the first scrubbing step (WS-I) has a total acid content of from 10 to 40% by weight and a content of from 80 to 350 ppm of hydrocyanic acid, giving a prescrubbed crude mixture, ii) in a second scrubbing step (WS-II), the prescrubbed crude mixture comprising dinitrotoluene is extracted with a scrubbing acid II in a scrub comprising at least one, preferably at least 2, extraction stage(s), where the scrubbing acid discharged from the first extraction stage (WS-II-1) of the second scrubbing step (WS-II) has a pH of less than or equal to 4, giving a dinitrotoluene-comprising mixture which is essentially free of nitric acid, sulfuric acid, nitrogen oxides and hydrocyanic acid and has a content of not more than 300 ppm of nitric acid and nitrogen oxides, not more than 3 ppm of sulfate and not more than 50 ppm of hydrocyanic acid.
Abstract:
processo para a preparação contínua de toluenodiamina. a invenção se refere a um processo para a preparação contínua de tolilenodiamina por hidrogenação de fase líquida do dinitrotolueno com hidrogênio na presença de um catalisador contendo níquel em suspensão em um reator com uma unidade de remoção do produto conectada a jusante do reator para obter uma saída do produto do reator, compreendendo uma fase líquida contendo tolilenodiamina e dinitrotolueno, em que o catalisador contendo níquel é colocado em suspensão, em que a concentração de dinitrotolueno na fase líquida da saída do produto do reator na região entre o reator e a unidade de remoção do produto de jusante é ajustada a um valor na faixa de 1 a 200 ppm em peso, com base no peso total da fase líquida da saída do produto do reator.
