Raw Material for Ortho Nitro Phenol Production
According to the Ortho Nitro Phenol production plant project report, the major raw materials for Ortho Nitro Phenol production include 2-Chloronitrobenzene-Sodium Hydroxide; Dilute Nitric Acid-Phenol.
Production Process of Ortho Nitro Phenol
The extensive Ortho Nitro Phenol production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production from 2-Chloronitrobenzene: This production process involves heating 2-chloronitrobenzene in 8.5% sodium hydroxide at 170°C in an autoclave to produce O-nitrophenol as the product. The reaction proceeds in an autoclave and is kept there under pressure for 8 hours.
- Production from Dilute Nitric Acid- This method involves the reaction between dilute nitric acid and phenol at low temperatures to synthesize the mixture of ortho-nitrophenol and para-nitrophenol. Further, the ortho(major) and para products are separated by steam distillation method because ortho-nitrophenol is steam volatile.
Ortho Nitro Phenol appears as a yellow solid with a peculiar smell, and its molecular weight is 139.11 g/mol. The IUPAC name of the compound is 2-nitrophenol, and its molecular formula is C6H5NO3. It slowly dissolves in water and organic solvents, like ethanol, chloroform, alcohol, and acetone. Its structure comprises the ortho position of the nitro group, which effectively contributes to its reactivity and its suitability for various chemical conversions. It has intramolecular hydrogen bonding that makes it steam volatile. Its melting is 45 degrees Celsius. Additionally, it produces toxic fumes when heated to decomposition.
