Thiram Production
This report presents the economics of Thiram production from dimethylamine, carbon disulfide, sodium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide, and sulfuric acid in the United States. In the process, dimethyl amine reacts with carbon disulfide, yielding N,N-dimethyl dithiocarbamic acid. The product is neutralized with sodium hydroxide, producing the corresponding sodium salt, which is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide and sulfuric acid, producing Thiram.
