Aromatic nitration by mixed acid is one of the most widely used reactions in the organic chemical industries. Aromatic nitro compounds find wide use in the manufacture of dyes, drugs, polymers, solvents, agrochemicals and explosives. In this book, nitration of nitrobenzene using high-concentrations of sulfuric acid is described in a batch reactor at 298 K and at moderately higher temperatures. Various physicochemical properties of the nitrobenzene, sulfuric acid and nitric acid system are repor ...
