Process for working up waste water from nitrobenzene preparation
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for working up alkaline waste water which is formed during washing of crude nitrobenzene obtained by nitration of benzene, wherein (i) the alkaline waste water is heated to a temperature of from 150° C. to 500° C. under an increased pressure with respect to atmospheric pressure with exclusion of oxygen; (ii) a base is added to the waste water obtained in (i); and (iii) the waste water obtained in (ii) is purified further by stripping with a stripping gas and the stripping gas stream loaded with impurities is then cooled to a temperature of from 10° C. to 60° C.
