Raw Material for Orthodichloro Benzene Production
According to the Orthodichloro Benzene production plant project report, the major raw materials for Orthodichloro Benzene production include Liquid Benzene-Chlorine (Gas)-Ferric Chloride.
Production Process of Orthodichloro Benzene
The extensive Orthodichloro Benzene production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production via Chlorination of Benzene: This method of production involves the reaction of liquid benzene with gaseous chlorine, which results in the formation of isomeric mixtures of dichlorobenzene. In this method, chlorination of benzene occurs at moderate temperature and atmospheric pressure in the presence of Lewis acids (FeCl3) to obtain isomeric mixtures of 75% para-dichlorobenzene, 25% ortho-dichlorobenzene and only 0.2% meta-dichlorobenzene along with hydrogen chloride as the by-product.
Ortho-dichlorobenzene is a colorless liquid chemical compound with IUPAC name, 1,2-Dichlorobenzene. The molecular formula of the compound is CHCl. The boiling point of the compound is 180 °C, and its melting point is −16.7°C. Moreover, the density of the compound is 1.3059g/cm3, and it does not get dissolved in water. The compound is readily soluble in ethanol and diethyl ether. Additionally, the trade names for ortho-dichlorobenzene are Cloroben, Dowtherm E, and Dilatin DB.
