Manufacturing Method of Triphenyl Phosphate
Triphenyl Phosphate (TPP) is an important organophosphorus compound, widely used in the field of raw materials for the production of plastics, rubber, coatings, flame retardants and other chemicals. This article will introduce the manufacturing method of Triphenyl Phosphate in detail.
I. Raw materials and equipment
1. Raw materials: phenol, phosphoric acid
2. Equipment: reaction kettle, stirrer, condenser, thermometer, pH meter, dispensing funnel, vacuum pump and so on.
2. Manufacturing steps
1. Add phenol into the reactor, turn on the stirrer and keep appropriate stirring speed.
2. Add phosphoric acid slowly while stirring, control the reaction temperature during dosing to avoid too high temperature.
3. After the addition, continue stirring for a certain period of time, so that the reaction is fully carried out.
4. At the end of the reaction, cool the reaction solution to room temperature, check the acidity and alkalinity of the reaction solution with a pH meter, and adjust as necessary.
5. Transfer the reaction solution to a partition funnel, let it stand and stratify, and isolate the lower layer of crude triphenyl phosphate.
6. Carry out post-treatment such as washing, drying and distillation on the crude triphenyl phosphate to obtain pure triphenyl phosphate product.
3. Precautions
1. Phenol and phosphoric acid are both highly corrosive raw materials, protective gear should be worn during operation to avoid direct contact with the skin.
2. The temperature should be strictly controlled during the reaction process to prevent decomposition of raw materials or equipment damage due to high temperature.
3. Dispensing funnels should be kept clean to prevent impurities from entering the product.
4. Attention should be paid to safety in the post-treatment process, avoiding high temperature, high pressure and other operations.
4. Manufacturing Advantages and Prospects
Triphenyl phosphate, as an important chemical raw material, has the following advantages:
1. Good flame retardant performance: Triphenyl phosphate is an effective flame retardant, which can improve the flame retardant performance of plastics, rubbers and other materials, and guarantee the safety of products.
2. Good thermal stability: Triphenyl phosphate has high thermal stability and can be used under high temperature conditions, which broadens its application range.
3. Good environmental protection: Compared with some traditional flame retardants, triphenyl phosphate is friendly to the environment and reduces the impact of the production process on the environment.
With the continuous progress of science and technology, the application of triphenyl phosphate in the field of raw materials for the production of chemicals has a broad prospect. In the future, with the rapid development of new materials, new energy and other fields, the market demand for triphenyl phosphate will further increase.
