Raw Material for Perylene Production
According to the Perylene production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Perylene include Naphthalene-Iron (III) Chloride-Dichlorodicyanoquinone.
Production Process of Perylene
The extensive Perylene production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From Naphthalene, Iron (III) Chloride, and Dichlorodicyanoquinone: The production process of perylene involves the Scholl reaction. In this reaction, naphthalene goes through oxidative dehydrogenation in the presence of iron (III) chloride, along with oxidants like dichlorodicyanoquinone. The reaction takes place at elevated temperatures under an inert atmosphere that results in the formation of new carbon-carbon bonds. This cyclodehydrogenation of naphthalene results in the formation of perylene, which is then isolated and purified to get pure perylene as the final product.
Perylene has a molecular formula of C18H12 and a molecular weight of 252.31 g/mol. It is brown with a density of 1.35 g/cm³. Its melting point ranges from 276 to 279 °C and a boiling point of around 400 °C. It has a very low vapor pressure and a refractive index of about 1.6292. It is insoluble in water and shows low solubility in organic solvents. It is stable under normal conditions and incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. It is combustible with a flash point greater than 200 °C. All these physical and chemical properties make it a useful compound in different industrial applications.
