Raw Material for 4-Bromophenol Production
According to the 4-Bromophenol production plant project report, the major raw materials for 4-Bromophenol production include Bromine-Phenol-Carbon Disulfide Solution.
Production Process of 4-Bromophenol
The extensive 4-bromophenol production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production via Bromination: This method of production involves the process of bromination of phenol, which results in the formation of 4-bromophenol as the product. The process is initiated at 5°C by the addition of bromine and carbon disulfide solution to the phenol carbon disulfide solution while stirring continuously for 2 hours. Further, the carbon disulfide is distilled from the reactant and is fractionated under reduced pressure to obtain 4-Bromophenol as the final product. The process gives a yield of 80-84%.
4-Bromophenol appears as a pinkish-brown crystalline solid that is not soluble in water. The compound gets dissolved in 5% ethanol, chloroform, and glacial acetic acid. Moreover, its molecular formula is C6H5BrO, and its molar mass is 173.01 g/mol. The IUPAC name of the compound is 4-bromophenol.
The compound is regarded as toxic, as it causes skin, respiratory tract irritation, and eye irritation. It is recommended to wear protective clothing while handling the compound. Additionally, the melting point of the compound is 61-64 °C, and its boiling point is 235-236 °C. The density of the compound is 1.84 g/cm3, and its flash point ranges between 235-238°C.
