From Wanfang

Author:

Wang Li

Summary:

Several technologies for the production of phthalic anhydride through the o-xylene process route are introduced, including the traditional single fixed bed oxidation reactor, the developed double fixed bed reactor, the recovery of phthalic anhydride using maleic anhydride as a liquid eutectic mixture, and a fluidized bed reactor based on an improved wear-resistant catalyst. The economics of production technology are discussed, and the catalyst technology, process research and development and its industrial status are reviewed.

Nature:
1. Appearance: Phthalic anhydride is a colorless or yellow liquid.
2. Odor: a pungent aroma.
3. Density: Phthalic anhydride has a high density, usually between 1.1-1.2g/cm³.
4. Boiling point: The boiling point of Phthalic anhydride is higher, usually between 200-230 ℃.
5. Solubility: Phthalic anhydride is soluble in many organic solvents, such as ethanol, ether and benzene.

Use:
1. Industry: Phthalic anhydride is an important organic compound, which is widely used as an intermediate and solvent in industries such as dyes, pharmaceuticals, coatings and plastics.
2. Medicine: Phthalic anhydride is used in the pharmaceutical industry to synthesize various drugs, such as antibiotics, analgesics and anti-cancer drugs.
3. Pesticide: Phthalic anhydride is also used in the manufacture of pesticides for the prevention and control of pests.

Preparation Method:
Phthalic anhydride can be prepared in a variety of ways, including:
1. Air oxidation method: Phthalic anhydride can be prepared by reacting benzene with oxygen under the action of a catalyst.
2. Oxidation method of side-chain alkylbenzene: Oxidation of side-chain alkylbenzene with oxygen under the action of a catalyst to the corresponding Phthalic anhydride.
3. Aromatic carboxylic acid ester hydrolysis method: aromatic carboxylic acid ester and water under acidic conditions to generate Phthalic anhydride.

Safety Information:
1. Phthalic anhydride is a flammable liquid and should be avoided in contact with open flames or high temperature sources.
2. Use should wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as chemical protective gloves and goggles.
3. If the Phthalic anhydride leaks, it should be cleaned with appropriate adsorption materials and protective equipment.
4. Avoid contacting the Phthalic anhydride with skin, eyes and respiratory tract. If contact is accidental, please rinse with plenty of water immediately and seek medical assistance.
5. When using and storing Phthalic anhydride, it is necessary to comply with relevant safety operation regulations and regulations, and properly dispose of waste.

Please note that the information mentioned above is for reference only, and the specific operation and application need to be carried out according to the actual situation and relevant safety regulations.
