m-Chloroaniline is an organic chemical compound that finds important applications in a broad range of industries. It is widely utilized as a precursor in the production of dyes (azo dyes) and pigments. Moreover, it also finds its application as a developer for the printing of cotton and viscose fabrics. It is often used as a feedstock in producing various useful chemical compounds. Additionally, it is also utilized in the preparation of certain antipsychotic drugs such as chlorpromazine hydrochloride and perphenazine.

The market of m-chloroaniline is largely led by its application as an intermediate in the manufacturing of dyes and pigments, which significantly promotes its demand in the printing, textiles, plastics, and paper industries. Moreover, its usage as an intermediate in the manufacturing of various pharmaceuticals, such as diuretic and antihypertensive drugs, agricultural chemicals, and other fine chemicals, further enhances its demand in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and chemical industries.

Furthermore, several factors influence industrial m-chloroaniline procurement, such as the availability of raw materials (3-chloronitrobenzene, etc.), cost and pricing, compliance with medical and pharmaceutical regulations, quality standards, technological advancements, environmental considerations, sustainability practices, distribution (including trading and shipping), logistics, safety standards, etc.

Raw Material for m-Chloroaniline Production

According to the m-Chloroaniline manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for m-Chloroaniline production include 3-Chloronitrobenzene-Sodium Sulfide.

Manufacturing Process of m-Chloroaniline

The extensive m-Chloroaniline production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Hydrogenation: This method of production is initiated by the hydrogenation of M-chloronitrobenzene or 3-chloronitrobenzene in the liquid phase by using sodium sulfide or zinc powder and hydrochloric acid as the reducing agent to produce m-chloroaniline as the final product. In this method, the reaction occurs in a reaction kettle in which the sodium sulfide is dissolved with water, stirred, and heated to boil, followed by the gradual addition of chloronitrobenzene, which results in the formation of an oily liquid after refluxing for 5 h to obtain m-Chloroaniline as the final product after distillation.

m-Chloroaniline appears as a colorless to light amber liquid that has a characteristic odor. The molecular formula of the compound is (C6H4)Cl(NH2), and its molecular weight is 127.57 g/mol. The compound is also known as 3-chlorobenzenamine or 3-chloroaniline. Moreover, the IUPAC name of the compound is 3-chloroaniline.

The density of the compound is 1.206 g/mL at 25°C, and its flash point is 255°F. Additionally, the melting point and the boiling point of the compound are −11-−9°C and 95-96°C, respectively. Its recommended storage temperature is below +30°C in a tightly closed container. The compound is generally soluble in most organic solvents and is insoluble in water. It is often regarded as a toxic compound, and the material and its container must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
