About Chlorobenzene. Chlorobenzene is an aromatic organic compound which appears as a clear volatile liquid with faint, almond-like odor. It is miscible with most organic solvents and insoluble in water. It is widely used as an intermediate in the manufacture of other chemicals such as nitrochlorobenzenes, which represent its largest use in the United States.
Chlorobenzene should be stored in liquid form in tightly closed steel containers in a dry and well-ventilated place. It must be kept away from strong oxidants. Mono-, 1,2-di-, and 1,2,4-trichlorobenzenes are liquids at room temperature and are shipped in bulk in aluminum tank trucks and steel or stainless steel tank cars. In situations where chlorobenzenes are contained in aluminum at elevated temperatures, the product must be clean (non-acidic), and the humidity must be low. 1,4-Dichlorobenzene is shipped either in molten form in insulated steel tank cars with heater coils, or as flake or granular solid in suitably sealed containers, such as paper bags, fiber packs, or drums. Phenolic linings in all vessels offer protection over a wide range of conditions for all chlorobenzenes as well as the vessels themselves. For drums, the phenolic coating should be modified with epoxy for maximum impact resistance. 1,4-Dichlorobenzene has different labeling classifications depending on its intended use.
Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Chlorobenzene are listed below.
- Benzene + chlorine (chlorination),
- Benzene + hydrogen chloride (oxychlorination)
The uses and applications of Chlorobenzene may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Chlorobenzene are technical grade (99%); spectrophotometric grade (99.9%); and American Chemical Society (ACS) grade.
