Production Process of Benzaldehyde-2-Sulphonic Acid
The extensive Benzaldehyde-2-Sulphonic Acid production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- Production from o-chlorobenzaldehyde: The production process of Benzaldehyde-2-Sulphonic Acid starts with the reaction of o-chlorobenzaldehyde with sodium sulfite, surfactant, and water. The reaction is carried out at 160-210°C, followed by a sulfonation reaction. After cooling, the reaction products crystallize. The crystallized Benzaldehyde-2- Sulphonic Acid sodium salts are then filtered out. The filtrate is concentrated and recrystallized.
