About Pyridine. Pyridine is an organic compound, in the heterocyclic aromatic class, structurally similar to benzene, but with a carbon-hydrogen ring set substituted by a nitrogen atom. It is a yellowish to colorless liquid, with a nauseating odor, miscible with water and most organic solvents. Pyridine was first synthesized in 1876, starting from acetylene and hydrogen cyanide, but gained commercial importance in the twentieth century, with production growing rapidly after World War II. The compound can be classified as a specialty chemical, since its sales are relatively lower in volume compared to commodity chemicals, with production at around 30000 tons per year. The main uses of pyridine are in areas where bioactivity is important, such as pharmaceutical and agricultural industries.
Pyridine is shipped in a number of ways, ranging from bulk containers, such as tank cars, super-sacks, and rail cars to smaller containers, such as fiber or steel drums. For its aldehyde group, pyridine easily suffers oxidation, so it should be transported and stored under an inert atmosphere. Pyridine and its bases should also generally be stored under cool, dark conditions.
Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Pyridine are listed below.
- Formaldehyde + acetaldehyde cofeed with ammonia (gas-phase catalytic cyclisation process),
- Acrolein + ammonia (gas-phase catalytic cyclisation process),
- Coal tar (isolation and purification)
The uses and applications of Pyridine may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Pyridine are medicinal grade (99.9% minimum purity); spectrophotometric grade (99% minimum purity); and technical grade (95% minimum purity).
