Raw Material for Vinyl Toluene Production
According to the Vinyl Toluene production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Vinyl Toluene include Ethyl Toluene-Zinc Oxide.
Production Process of Vinyl Toluene
The extensive Vinyl Toluene production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From Ethyl Toluene and Zinc Oxide: The production process of Vinyl Toluene consists of dehydrogenation of ethyl toluene. The process starts with the dehydrogenation of ethyl toluene (either para- or meta-ethyl toluene) by using zinc oxide as a metal catalyst. This catalytic reaction results in the removal of hydrogen, forming Vinyl Toluene as the final product.
Vinyl Toluene is a colorless fluid monomer with a molecular formula of C9H10, and its molecular weight is 118 g/mol. It is a colorless fluid having a characteristic odor and its density is 0.89 g/cm3 at a standard temperature of 25 °C. It is a flammable fluid with a melting point in the range of -75°C to -70°C and a boiling point of 170°C. Its flash point and autoignition temperature are measured at approximately 52.8°C and 515°C, respectively. Its vapor density is heavier when compared to that of the density of the air. It is a toxic liquid that can harm the eyes and skin on direct exposure. It is insoluble in water but dissolves in certain chemical solvents. It is highly soluble in solvents such as acetone, benzene, and diethyl ether. Also, it is soluble in carbon tetrachloride, n-heptane, and alcohols such as ethanol.
