Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for scrubbing a crude mixture comprising dinitrotoluene, nitric acid, nitrogen oxides and sulfuric acid obtained in the nitration of toluene after the nitrating acid has been separated off, which comprises two scrubbing steps (SS-I) and (SS-II), wherein i) in a first scrubbing step (SS-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 (SS-I-1) of the first scrubbing step (SS-I) has a total acid content of from 20 to 40% by weight and a prescrubbed crude mixture is obtained, ii) in a second scrubbing step (SS-II), the prescrubbed crude mixture comprising dinitrotoluene is extracted with a scrubbing acid II in a scrub comprising at least one extraction stage, where the scrubbing acid discharged from the first extraction stage (SS-II-1) of the second scrubbing step (SS-II) has a pH of less than or equal to 4 and a mixture comprising dinitrotoluene which is essentially free of nitric acid, sulfuric acid and nitrogen oxides is obtained.
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:
This application discloses provides a process for the introduction of nitro-group functionality into a compound which contains also a site of unsaturation and/or oxygen functionality by direct (one step) oxidation of an oxime functional group mediated by a molybdenum VI/VII peroxo complex, the process comprising: (a) providing a substrate of Formula I containing an oxime functional group; wherein R1 and R2 are selected independently from linear, branched or cyclic alkyl and linear, branched or cyclic alkenyl groups, optionally substituted, with the proviso that at least one of R1 or R2 contains a carbon/carbon double bond; and (b) contacting said substrate of Formula I with a molybdenum oxidation complex, thereby oxidizing said oxime functional group to a nitro functional group to yield the structure of Formula III. Where R1 and R2 are as defined above.
Abstract:
Preparation of nitro compounds of phenols and alkyl substituted derivatives thereof which includes nitrosating phenols or alkyl derivative thereof, oxidizing the nitroso compound, separating off nitrogen oxides, separating nitro compounds from reaction mixture, and subjecting mother liquor and washing liquids to destructive oxidation at elevated temperatures and recycling nitrogen oxides and nitric acid.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of nitrophenols by adding over a period of time a suspension containing from about 4 to about 20 per cent weight/volume of nitrosated phenol to a nitric acid solution containing between 45 and 100 per cent by weight of nitric acid, said solution being maintained at a temperature in the range from about 45.degree. to 100.degree.C.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an process for the production of nitroparaffins from hydrocarbons higher than methane, by nitration with nitrogen peroxide in the presence of oxygen, introduced in the form of air, wherein the nitration is carried out at a pressure which is between 8 and approximately 14 bars, the reactant gases being preheated under the reaction pressure and introduced into the reaction zone between 150* and 330*C, the gaseous effluents originating from the nitration zone being subjected to a rapid cooling or quenching.
