What is Benzyl Chloride Production from Toluene about?
The document describes the process for producing benzyl chloride from toluene by chlorination. Toluene and chlorine are reacted in a chlorinator using ferric chloride as a catalyst to produce benzyl chloride and hydrochloric acid. The products are then scrubbed to recover unreacted toluene. Hydrochloric acid is absorbed and the products are neutralized with sodium hydroxide before benzyl chloride and toluene are separated by distillation. The process yields 1699 kg/hr of benzyl chloride at a 70% conversion
