Raw Material for Dibenzofuran Production
According to the Dibenzofuran production plant project report, the major raw materials for Dibenzofuran production include 2-Phenoxybenzene-diazonium tetrafluoroborate and Hydroquinone.
Production Process of Dibenzofuran
The extensive Dibenzofuran production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production via Intramolecular Cyclization: This method of production involves the process of intramolecular cyclization by using hydroquinone, which results in the formation of Dibenzofuran as the product. The synthesis begins with the intramolecular cyclization of 2-phenoxybenzene-diazonium tetrafluoroborate with hydroquinone in the presence of ferrous sulfate (FeSO4) to obtain Dibenzofuran as the final product.
Dibenzofuran is a colorless to white crystalline compound composed of twelve carbon atoms, eight hydrogen atoms, and one oxygen atom. It belongs to the category of organic heterotricyclic parent compounds, featuring a furan ring ortho-fused with two benzene rings at the 2,3- and 4,5-positions. This compound has a weak characteristic odor.
The molecular formula of the compound is C12H8O, and its molar mass is 168.19 g/mol. The melting and boiling points of Dibenzofuran are around 86.5 °C and 287 °C, respectively. Being hydrophobic and denser than water, it is soluble in organic solvents like acetone, ether, benzene, and acetic acid. Exposure to Dibenzofuran can lead to eye, skin, and nose irritation in the short term. Long-term exposure may cause skin rashes and growth. This chemical is sensitive to light and can react if exposed for prolonged periods. It also exhibits sublimation and volatility in steam.
