摘要:
The invention relates to a method for electrochemically treating aromatic nitro compounds, comprising the following steps: introducing an aqueous composition containing at least one aromatic nitro compound into the anode chamber of an electrolysis cell and carrying out electrolysis at an anodic current density in the range of 0.1 to 10 kA/m 2 and at a cell voltage in the range of 4 to 15 V.
摘要:
A process for the removal by distillation of dinitrotoluene from process wastewater from the preparation of dinitrotoluene by nitration of toluene by means of nitrating acid, which is characterized in that the process wastewater is brought to a pH of > 8.5, fed into a stripping column in the upper region thereof and stripped in countercurrent with steam to give a vapour stream which is laden with dinitrotoluene and a bottom stream which is depleted in dinitrotoluene compared to the process wastewater used, is proposed.
摘要:
Precipitation of nitrohydroxyaromatic salts from the nitrated crude products obtained in the nitration of aromatic compounds after alkaline scrubbing, for example mononitrotoluenes, is prevented by contacting the nitrated crude products with an acidic ion exchanger. The nitrated crude products are preferably selected from a feed to a distillation column, a bottoms circulation stream of a distillation column and a feed to an evaporator.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for extracting nitrocresols from the waste water produced in the manufacture of mononitrotoluene. Said method is characterised in that the alkaline waste water produced in the manufacture of mononitrotoluene is acidified using acids with a maximum pH value of 3 and the nitrocresols are treated with an extracting agent. The invention also relates to the production of dinitrotoluene using the extract containing nitrocresols as a feedstock.
摘要:
A 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.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for treating alkaline process waste water from the nitration of aromatic compounds to mono-, di- and trinitroaromatic compounds having a pH value of 7.5 to 13, comprising the steps of a) acidifying the alkaline process waste water by adding concentrated sulfuric acid, which originates from the treatment of the aqueous phase comprising sulfuric acid occurring during nitration, to a pH value below 5, wherein a mixture A is created from a separating organic phase and acidic aqueous phase, b) bringing the mixture A into contact with fresh sludge and c) separating the sludge.
