Abstract:
This invention relates to methods for producing chemical products, wherein the one or more feed materials are reacted to form a chemical product or a chemical composition. The invention further relates to plants for performing such methods, said plants being designed in such a way that, during an interruption of the methods, no input of at least one feed material into the reaction occurs and the plant parts not affected by a revision measure, maintenance measure, repair measure, or cleaning measure are operated in so-called re-circulation mode. It is thereby achieved, among other things, that only the affected plant part needs to be shut down for the time of the measure, which can be advantageous with regard to the productivity and economy of the method and the quality of the produced products. Finally, the invention relates to methods for operating plants in the event that individual plant parts are taken out of service.

Abstract:
A process for the preparation of dintrotoluene which comprises (a) nitrating toluene with a nitrating acid, wherein said nitrating acid is a mixture of nitric acid and sulfuric acid, in one or more nitration steps, and separating the nitrating acid from the process stream thus formed, wherein a crude mixture comprising dinitrotoluene and a fraction of said nitrating acid dissolved therein is obtained, said crude mixture further comprising at least 50 ppm of HCN, and (b) washing the crude dinitrotoluene containing mixture in one or more washing steps, wherein, before the first washing step is carried out, the crude mixture is distilled and/or stripped to remove HCN therefrom, wherein a crude dinitrotoluene containing mixture which is essentially free of HCN is obtained.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Disclosed are a process and an apparatus for synthesizing nitroalkanes by reaction of a hydrocarbon feedstock with aqueous nitric acid. Energy and capital costs may be reduced by recycling a majority of the aqueous phase back to the reactor.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a continuously operated adiabatic process for the preparation of nitrobenzene by nitration of benzene with nitric acid and sulfuric acid, in which the dilute sulfuric acid obtained after the nitration has taken place and the crude nitrobenzene has been separated off from the aqueous phase is concentrated for the purpose of re-use in the nitration, and after its concentration, at least one minute before it comes into contact with fresh nitric acid again an oxidizing agent is added such that a concentration of the oxidizing agent of from 10 ppm to 5,000 ppm, based on the total weight of the concentrated sulfuric acid to be recycled into the nitration, is established.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for producing nitrobenzene, in which the waste gas streams accruing in the process and containing benzene and (traces of) nitrobenzene, possibly low- and medium-boiling components, possibly non-condensable gases and possibly water, optionally after removal of nitrogen oxides, are scrubbed in an absorption column with nitrobenzene, which comprises only very small amounts (maximum 50 ppm) of benzene and is distributed by means of a liquid distributor at a rate of 50 to 200 drip points per square metre, preferably 60 to 120 drip points per square metre, wherein (i) a liquid stream containing benzene and nitrobenzene, possibly organic low- and medium-boiling components and additionally containing sulfuric acid if sulfuric acid is used as the scrubbing agent and (ii) waste gas depleted in benzene and possibly in organic low- and medium-boiling components are obtained. A waste gas purified by the method according to the invention is particularly suitable for burning in a thermal exhaust air treatment process.
