Nitrobenzene Production Cost Reports

Nitrobenzene production cost report provides a comprehensive analysis and know-how for setting up a Nitrobenzene production plant. The study covers all the requisite aspects that one needs to know for the production of Nitrobenzene. This includes manufacturing processes, raw material requirements, utility requirements, infrastructure requirements, machinery and technology requirements, manpower requirements, packaging requirements, transportation requirements, etc.

Nitrobenzene (C6H5NO2) or nitrobenzol or oil of mirbane is a nitroarene, the simplest aromatic nitro compound comprising benzene carrying a single nitro substituent. It's a member of nitrobenzenes and a nitroarene. It's a poisonous organic compound which is mainly made up of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen.

It is a yellowish chemical that is an aromatic nitro compound with an almond-like odour with an oily consistency. It looks like a pale yellow to dark brown liquid. It has slight solubility in water (0.19 g/100 ml at 20 °C). It has a molar mass of 123.06 g/mol and a density of 1.199 g/cm3. Its respective melting, boiling and flash points are 5.85 °C, 210.9 °C and 190 °F.

Upon combustion, it releases toxic nitrogen oxide fumes, and its exposure can lead to irritation in the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract and can also cause methemoglobinemia that leads to fatigue, dizziness, dyspnea, disturbed vision, collapse, shortness of breath, and even death. It can also cause harm to the spleen, liver, kidneys and central nervous system. The chemical is a possible mutagen and human carcinogen.

Nitrobenzene is mainly used as a precursor to make aniline, benzidine, and other organic chemicals and also in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, lubricating oils, drugs, pesticides, and synthetic rubber. It is used as a fragrant in cheap soaps (redistilled and as oil of mirbane), to cover up unpleasant smells from paints and shoes and also as an organic solvent.

It's also employed in shoe and floor polishes and leather dressings. It finds application in the production of analgesic paracetamol (or acetaminophen). It can readily be converted to related derivatives like azobenzene, nitrosobenzene, and phenylhydroxylamine. Hence, the versatile applications of Nitrobenzene are propelling the industry's expansion.
