[News & Trends]:The difference between phthalic anhydride: What is the difference between neighboring method and nanomethod?

Phthalic anhydride is an important organic chemical substance widely used in fields such as pesticides, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. In the production process of phthalic anhydride, two methods are often used: the neighboring method and the nano method. So, what are the differences between these two methods


First, let's take a look at the neighbor method. Neighbor method is a method of obtaining benzoic acid by reacting phenoxide with carbon dioxide, and then oxidizing it to obtain phthalic anhydride. The advantages of this method are mild reaction conditions and simple operation, but there may be a small amount of ortho phenolic impurities in the product that require further purification. Naifa is a method of obtaining sodium benzoate by reacting benzoyl chloride with sodium hydroxide, and then heating it to obtain phthalic anhydride. The advantage of Nafa is that the product has high purity, but the reaction conditions are harsh and have a significant impact on the environment


From the perspective of reaction principle, the neighboring method obtains benzoic acid through the alkaline substitution reaction of phenoxide, and then oxidizes to obtain phthalic anhydride; The Nai rule is to obtain benzoic acid through the alkaline reaction of benzoyl chloride with a hydrogenated alcohol, and then heat it to obtain phthalic anhydride. The reaction conditions and product purity of the two methods are different, and the raw materials used are also different


In actual production, choosing between neighboring method and nanoparticle method requires consideration of various factors such as raw material cost, complexity of production process, product purity requirements, and environmental impact. With the continuous development of chemical technology, people are also constantly exploring more efficient and environmentally friendly production methods to better meet market demand


Overall, both the neighboring method and the nanomethod are production methods for phthalic anhydride, and both have their own advantages and limitations in practical applications. Understanding their differences helps us choose more suitable methods in actual production, improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and promote the sustainable development of the chemical industry.
