Process Economics Program Report 76C
Published: Dec-93
This report supplements previous reports on the subject
of aromatic amines. The report includes updated preliminary process designs
and estimated economics for the manufacture of nitrobenzene by nitration of
benzene, by the conventional process and an adiabatic nitration process; the
manufacture of aniline by hydrogen reduction of nitrobenzene; and the manufacture
of aniline by ammonolysis of phenol. We have also presented a preliminary process
design and process economics for the production of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT),
a rubber-processing chemical, made from aniline, carbon disulfide, and sulfur.
The estimated economics for the manufacture of diphenylamine by the liquid-phase
condensation of aniline have also been updated for this report. A discussion
of the industry status is presented in a separate section.
