fused ring aromatic hydrocarbon | naphthalene is the simplest fused ring aromatic hydrocarbon composed of two benzene rings, commonly known as "sanitary ball". It is one of the main products of coal tar processing. Naphthalene appears in industry as crude naphthalene (industrial naphthalene and pressed naphthalene) and refined naphthalene. The molecular formula of naphthalene is C10H8, and the molecular weight is 128.17. The melting point is 80.28 ℃, the solid density is 1.145g/cm3, the liquid density (85 ℃) is 0.9752g/cm3, the specific heat capacity (100 ℃) is 1809j/(kg k), and the refractive index (85 ℃) is 1.5898. Naphthalene is a colorless monoclinic crystal, volatile, sublimated, has a special smell, flammable, and can form an explosive mixture with air; its petroleum ether solution is red-purple fluorescent under a mercury lamp, almost insoluble in water, and soluble in ether, Alcohol, benzene and other solvents. Naphthalene vapor and dust can be inhaled into the human body or absorbed through the skin, and the limit allowable concentration in the air is 20mg/m3. Naphthalene is one of the basic raw materials in dyes, plastics, paints, medicines and pesticides. It has been directly used as a sanitary ball for clothing and fur moth-proof. Naphthalene is more prone to substitution reactions than benzene-halogenation, nitration, sulfonation and Fourier reaction. The electron density on the α-carbon atom is higher, and the rate of generating α-substituted products is faster; the stability of β-substituted products is greater. The ratio of α-and β-substituted products in the substitution reaction depends on the nature of the reagent, catalyst, solvent, temperature and other factors. For example, the halogenation and nitration reactions are irreversible, and generally mainly generate α-substituted products, and the bromination reaction can occur without a catalyst. |
Molecular structure | The molecular structure of naphthalene is made up of two benzene rings sharing two adjacent carbon atoms. Modern physical methods prove that the diphenyl ring is in the same plane, each carbon atom is sp2 hybrid, and the p orbitals of all carbon atoms are parallel to each other and overlap to form a closed conjugated system. Unlike the benzene ring, the overlap of the p orbitals of the naphthalene molecular structure is not exactly the same, the electron density is not completely averaged, and the bond lengths between carbon atoms are not equal. The position of the substituent on the naphthalene ring can be represented by α,β, and can also be represented by Arabic numerals. For example: According to the molecular orbital method, the electron density in the naphthalene molecule is the highest at the α position, and the β position is the second. naphthalene is a white flake crystal with a melting point of 80.6 ℃, a boiling point of 218 ℃, a relative density of 0.9625(100/4 ℃), a special smell, volatilization, easy sublimation, and insecticidal effect of steam, which can be used as an anti-moth agent. The chemical properties of naphthalene are more active than benzene, and it can undergo substitution, addition, oxidation and other reactions, and the α position is more prone to reaction than the β position. |
refined naphthalene | refined naphthalene refers to a naphthalene product containing more than 98.45% naphthalene obtained by further purification of crude naphthalene (industrial naphthalene or pressed naphthalene). The production methods of refined naphthalene mainly include melting-crystallization method (see naphthalene melting-crystallization refining), hydrogenation method (see naphthalene hydrogenation refining), pickling distillation method, solvent crystallization method, sublimation method and formaldehyde method. The pickling distillation method has simple process and convenient operation, but it has more naphthalene loss, serious equipment corrosion, difficult treatment of waste acid, and poor production environment, and has been gradually eliminated. Sublimation products have low purity and are not commonly used. Pickling distillation method: wash crude naphthalene with 96 ~ 98% concentrated sulfuric acid, sulfonate and polymerize thiazene and unsaturated compounds into resinous substances (commonly known as acid tar), combine basic compounds with sulfuric acid and transfer into sulfuric acid layer, and acids are removed during subsequent alkaline washing to obtain refined naphthalene. The process flow is as follows: crude naphthalene (industrial naphthalene or pressed naphthalene) is heated and melted, and the temperature continues to rise to 90~95 ℃, concentrated sulfuric acid with a total amount of 4% (for industrial naphthalene) is added into the pickling tank several times, stirred and then standing for separation, sulfate base is discharged from the bottom, and the liquid naphthalene discharged from the upper part is washed with hot water and 10 ~ 12% sodium hydroxide solution in turn. The liquid naphthalene flowing out of the alkali washing separator enters the vacuum distillation tower, and the vacuum degree at the top of the tower is kept at 8.0~10.7kPa. The refined naphthalene produced from the top of the tower is sent to the naphthalene drum crystallization machine through the refined naphthalene receiving tank to make flakes, and its crystallization point is above 79.3 ℃. The loss of naphthalene during pickling is about 4 ~ 5% (for pressed naphthalene) and 4 ~ 9% (for industrial naphthalene). In order to improve the pickling effect and reduce the loss of naphthalene, the Soviet Union used sulfuric acid formaldehyde method to wash and purify. Formaldehyde method: unsaturated compounds in crude naphthalene and sulfur indene and other impurities in acidic medium condensation and formaldehyde into resin-like substances, after separation and removal. The molten crude naphthalene is first dehydrated and polycondensed with concentrated sulfuric acid, and then further polycondensation with formaldehyde sulfuric acid solution to separate and remove the resin layer, and then neutralized with alkali, washed with water, rectified and sliced to obtain refined naphthalene with a crystallization point greater than 79.3 ℃. The refining rate of naphthalene is about 90%. It can also be directly refined with formaldehyde sulfuric acid solution without the process of concentrated sulfuric acid dehydration and polycondensation. |
important chemical raw material | naphthalene is an important chemical raw material. coal tar contains about 10% naphthalene, which can be obtained from the middle oil fraction of coal tar or the high boiling point fraction obtained from the cracking of petroleum products by crystallization. Its output can be used as one of the indicators to measure the development level of organic chemical industry. About 80% of naphthalene is used to prepare phthalic anhydride, which is an important organic chemical raw material, and further synthesizes plasticizers and some dyes. The rest are used as dye intermediates and the production of tanning and surfactants. A small amount is used to replace camphor to make sanitary pills, and use its special smell for home clothing to repel insects and moth. But naphthalene vapor or dust inhalation can cause headache, nausea, large amount of corneal opacity and optic neuritis, myocarditis and so on. The chemical properties of naphthalene are more active than benzene, and sodium metal is reduced to 1, 4-dihydronaphthalene in boiling anhydrous ethanol; in boiling pentanol, it is all reduced to 1,2,3, 4-Tetrahydronaphthalene; oxidized to 1, 4-naphthoquinone by chromic acid. Phthalic anhydride can be obtained by high-temperature catalytic oxidation of vanadium pentoxide, which is an important organic chemical intermediate. Naphthalene is more prone to substitution reactions than benzene, and the α position is more active than the β position. Nitrification can yield high-yield α-nitronaphthalene and a small amount of β-nitronaphthalene; under the action of catalysts such as ferric chloride, it reacts with halogen, The main product is also α-halogenated naphthalene. There are two products in sulfonation reaction. α-naphthalenesulfonic acid is mainly obtained at lower temperature (60 ℃). At higher temperature (160 ℃), β-naphthalenesulfonic acid is mainly obtained. Because sulfonation is a deliverable reaction, the increase in temperature converts the generated α-naphthalenesulfonic acid into β-naphthalenesulfonic acid. Acylation reaction can be carried out under the catalysis of anhydrous aluminum trichloride to form a mixture of α and β-acylnaphthalene. Naphthalene is flammable whether it is solid or liquid. Crude naphthalene may spontaneously ignite at high temperatures. Steam or fine powder is explosive when mixed in a certain proportion in the air. Pure naphthalene is generally not corrosive, but it contains impurities, especially when it contains phthalic anhydride. Reference materials: Yuan Yunkai, edited by Gu Mingyuan.

naphthalene melting-crystallization refining | using the principle of redistribution of components between liquid and solid phases during cooling crystallization of molten crude naphthalene, the process of purifying naphthalene through multiple melting crystallization. It is one of the processes for refining crude naphthalene obtained from the processing of naphthalene oil fractions. The impurities in crude naphthalene generally reduce the melting point of naphthalene, so when the liquid crude naphthalene is slowly cooled, the naphthalene first crystallizes and precipitates, and the impurities accumulate in the liquid phase. If the precipitated naphthalene melts and crystallizes again, the crystallization purity of the precipitated naphthalene is further improved. Strictly control the temperature and speed of the melting and crystallization process, and finally obtain high-purity refined naphthalene products. Naphthalene melting-crystallization refining can be carried out continuously, semi-continuously or intermittently. The main impurity in industrial naphthalene is thioindene. The boiling point of thioindene is only 2 ℃ different from the boiling point of naphthalene, which is difficult to remove by distillation, and their crystallization points differ by 48 ℃, so it is more appropriate to separate them by melting-crystallization method to refine naphthalene. A brief history of development: In 1952, W.G. Pfann first proposed the melting-crystallization refining technology (regional melting), which is mainly used for the purification of semiconductors and metal materials, and can also be used for the purification of organic compounds. The French company Probeud used this method to carry out experiments to purify naphthalene, and realized industrial production in the UK in 1962. Later, melting-crystallization refining processes for purifying naphthalene such as the Brody method of the Australian Union Carbide Company and the Sulzer method of Switzerland appeared. In 1985, China built the Brody process refined naphthalene device, and later built some Proabud-type devices. Process flow: There are three types of Brody method, Sulzer method and Prooud method. |
Use | Used as solvent and analytical reagent, also used in organic synthesis Synthetic medicine, insecticides, spices, dyes, rubber antioxidant Mainly used in the production of phthalic anhydride, but also a raw material for the production of dyes, medicines, etc. Naphthalene is a raw material in the production of pesticides, which can be made into methyl naphthol and ethyl naphthol, it can also be oxidized to phthalic anhydride to further form phthalimide, and it can also be used with chloroacetic acid to form naphthalene acetic acid. It can be used as an intermediate for insecticides such as imidothion, carbaryl, herbicide methoxane, dioxalamine, plant growth regulator naphthalene acetic acid and naphthoxyacetic acid. Naphthalene is the most important polycyclic hydrocarbon in industry. It is mainly used to produce phthalic anhydride, various naphthols, naphthylamines, etc. It is a raw material for the production of synthetic resins, plasticizers, dyes, surfactants, synthetic fibers, coatings, pesticides, medicines, spices, rubber additives and pesticides. The use distribution of naphthalene varies from country to country. About 70% are used to produce phthalic anhydride, about 15% are used to dye intermediates and rubber additives, about 6% are pesticides, and about 4% are tanning agents. A large proportion of pesticides are used in the United States, mainly for the production of carbaryl. Using naphthalene as raw material, through unit operations such as sulfonation, nitration, reduction, amination, and hydrolysis, a variety of intermediates can be produced. The application of refined naphthalene is still expanding. The new product "super plastic material" is naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate, which can be used as a cement additive to increase the plastic deformation of concrete without reducing its strength. Demand will grow at a rate of 5-10% in the next few years. It is used for anti-mildew and anti-corrosion of leather. It is mainly used for the production of phthalic anhydride, and is also the basic raw material for the preparation of dyes, medicines, plastics, etc. It can be used for the manufacture of dye intermediates, diffusive agents, water reducing agents, etc. The available dyes of refined naphthalene, medicine and other fields, such as the production of 2-naphthol, 1-naphthol and methylnaphthol, etc., are also the main raw materials for the production of camphor.
