Diphenylamine Production by the Chemical Reaction of Aniline Hydrochloride with Excess Aniline

This report entails the detailed cost evaluation of diphenylamine production by the chemical reaction between aniline hydrochloride with excess of aniline. The synthesis begins by reacting aniline hydrochloride with an excess of aniline. The reaction is processed by heating the mixture, which yields diphenylamine along with ammonium chloride. The excess aniline present in the mixture can be extracted by means of dilute hydrochloric acid, and diphenylamine is purified by distillation as the end product.
