Rcra waste number U105 - Nature
Open Data Verified Data
light yellow, darker in the sun, and red in contact with alkali. Toxic, flammable. Vapor pressure 13. 33kPa/157.7 °c; Flash point 207 °c; Melting point 69.5 °c; Boiling point 300 °c. Slightly soluble in water, ethanol, ether, soluble in benzene, acetone and other organic solvents. Dinitrotoluene has certain chemical activity, can be decomposed by heat, and can be hydrolyzed in water. It is flammable in case of open flame and high heat. It is mixed with an oxidizing agent to form an explosive mixture. Combustion or explosion may be caused by friction, shock, or impact. A large amount of smoke is produced during combustion.

| Uses | Used as a raw material for organic synthesis, dyes and explosives 2,4-dinitrotoluene can be derived from a series of intermediates, such as: These intermediates are used to produce sulphide yellow GC, sulphide yellow brown 5G, sulphide yellow brown 6G, sulphide red brown B3R and other dyes, produce explosive TNT, and produce 2,4-toluene diisocyanate. The amount of toluene diisocyanate in these intermediates is large, mainly used for bulk products such as polyurethane foam, polyurethane elasticity, polyurethane coatings, etc. |
| production method | 1. obtained from nitration of p-nitrotoluene: nitration waste acid (sulfuric acid concentration is 77%) is added to the nitration kettle, then melted p-nitrotoluene is added and stirred to reduce the temperature in the kettle to about 55 ℃. Then the mixed acid (composed of 31.75% nitric acid and 64.85% sulfuric acid) is added in two batches. The first batch of feeding temperature is 52-56 ℃, and the second batch of feeding process temperature gradually rises from 54 ℃ to 70 ℃, about 6-7h after feeding, and the reaction continues at 75 ℃ for nearly 3h. After the reaction is completed, add cold water to dilute under stirring, and let it stand for cooling. After the upper reactants are completely solidified, the waste acid is released (part of it is applied). Heat and melt the reactant again, stir it a little and let it stand for cooling. After the reactant solidifies, put the waste acid again. The reactants were melted and neutralized with liquid alkali at 68-70°C to a pH of 5-6. Spray cold water to cool down, cool to 35 ℃, filter and wash with water to obtain 2, 4-dinitrotoluene. Raw material consumption quota: p-nitrotoluene 774kg/t, sulfuric acid (95.5%)785kg/t, nitric acid (98%)362kg/t. 2. Nitration of toluene: crude nitrotoluene containing o-nitrotoluene 62-63%, p-nitrotoluene 33-34% and m-nitrotoluene 3-4% was obtained in 97% yield. Mixed acid is added dropwise to this crude nitrotoluene. Stirring, nitrification reaction in 98.6% yield to obtain crude dinitrotoluene (CAS number [25321-14-6], is a mixture of three isomers). The general situation of material balance in nitrification process is as follows. Dissolve the dinitrotoluene mixture in methanol or ethanol, then cool, crystallize, separate and distill 2, 4-dinitrotoluene to obtain 2, 4-dinitrotoluene. The former method is mainly used to produce pure 2,4-dinitrotoluene, I .e. nitration of p-nitrotoluene, and the purity of industrial products is ≥ 95%. |
