Abstract:
Dinitrotoluene is produced from toluene and nitric acid in the presence of sulfuric acid in a two stage process in the first stage, toluene and nitric acid are reacted under isothermal conditions in amounts such that mononitrotoluene is produced. The reaction mixture is then separated into an organic phase and an acid phase. The organic phase is then further reacted with nitric acid under adiabatic conditions to produce dinitrotoluene. The reaction mixture is then separated into an organic phase and an acid phase. Dinitrotoluene is recovered from the organic phase. After at least 5% by weight water is removed from the acid phase and sufficient nitric acid to replace that consumed during the nitration reaction has been added, the acid phase may be recycled.
Abstract:
An aromatic compound is polynitrated in a continuous process in a single apparatus under adiabatic conditions in an emulsion as the reaction medium. From 1.3 to 3.5 mol of HNO.sub.3 per mol of aromatic compound are introduced in the form of a nitronium ion solution into the reactor with the aromatic compound under conditions such that an emulsion forms. The emulsion, which has a tendency to coalesce, is maintained by repeated dispersion. The first dispersion of the liquid streams to produce the emulsion takes place in less than one second. At least 20% of the total amount of HNO.sub.3 to be used should generally be present during this first dispersion. It is preferred, however, that the total amount of nitronium ion solution to be used be present at the time the aromatic compound and nitronium ion solution are first dispersed.

The invention concerns a gasphase process for the preparation of nitrobenzene from benzene and nitric acid, wherein catalysts are applied based on the zeolite mordenite.
Abstract:
Nitrobenzenes are prepared by nitrating benzenes in vapor phase using nitric acid as a nitrating agent and under continuous or intermittent feeding of sulfuric acid as a catalyst in the presence of a catalyst comprising sulfuric acid supported on a carrier or in the presence of only a carrier. This process can provide very high and prolonged nitration activity.

Abstract:
Sulphuric and nitric acids present in dinitrotoluene are separated from the dinitrotoluene by adding up to 10 wt. % water (based on quantity of dinitrotoluene) to the mixture of dinitrotoluene, sulphuric acid and nitric acid, mixing and separating the aqueous phase containing nitric and sulphuric acids. The mixtures treated by this process generally contain up to 5 wt. % nitric acid and up to 6 wt. % sulphuric acid.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for nitrating toluene to dinitrotoluene and phase separation of the product using an inorganic salt as a phase separation agent.
Abstract:
High purity amino-1,3-benzenediols are prepared by (a) contacting a 1,3-bis(alkylcarbonato)benzene with a nitrating agent under rection conditions such that a 1,3-bis(alkylcarbonato)nitrobenzene is formed, (b) contacting the 1,3-bis(alkylcarbonato)nitrobenzene with a hydrolyzing agent under conditions such that a nitro-1,3-benzenediol is produced, and (c) contacting the nitro-1,3-benzenediol with a reducing agent under conditions such that an amino-1,3-benzenediol is produced. Of the amino-1,3-benzenediols, 4,6-diamino-1,3-benzenediol is particularly useful in the preparation of high molecular weight polybenzoxazoles.
