Chemical aromatic

Naphthalene, anthracene, carbazole [86-74-8] phenol [108-95-2] and cresyUc acids are found in the tar. Phenol and cresyUc acids are useful as chemical and resin intermediates. The aromatic chemicals are useful in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, dyes, fragrances, and pesticides. Various grades of pitch are made from residues of tar refining. Coal-tar pitch is used for roofing and road tar, and as a binder mixed with petroleum coke to produce anodes for the aluminum industry. 

Materials for flavoring may be divided into several groups. The most common groupings are either natural or artificial flavorings. Natural materials include spices and herbs essential oils and thek extracts, concentrates, and isolates fmit, fmit juices, and fmit essence animal and vegetable materials and thek extracts and aromatic chemicals isolated by physical means from natural products, eg, citral from lemongrass and linalool from hois de rose. 

Specifications also appear in other pubHcations, including pubHcations of the Fragrance Materials Association (FMA) of the United States (53,57) (see also Fine chemicals). The FMA specifications include essential oils, natural flavor and fragrance materials, aromatic chemicals, isolates, general tests, spectra, suggested apparatus, and revisions adopted by the FMA. 

Until the end of World War II, coal tar was the main source of these aromatic chemicals. However, the enormously increased demands by the rapidly expanding plastics and synthetic-fiber industries have greatly outstripped the potential supply from coal carbonization. This situation was exacerbated by the cessation of the manufacture in Europe of town gas from coal in the eady 1970s, a process carried out preponderantly in the continuous vertical retorts (CVRs), which has led to production from petroleum. Over 90% of the world production of aromatic chemicals in the 1990s is derived from the petrochemical industry, whereas coal tar is chiefly a source of anticorrosion coatings, wood preservatives, feedstocks for carbon-black manufacture, and binders for road surfacings and electrodes. 

Most carrier-active compounds ate based on aromatic chemicals with characteristic odor. An exception is the phthalate esters, which are often preferred when ambient odor is objectionable or residual odor on the fabric caimot be tolerated. The toxicity of carrier-active compounds and of their ultimate compositions varies with the chemical or chemicals involved. The environment surrounding the dyeing equipment where carriers are used should always be weU-ventilated, and operators should wear protective clothing (eg, mbber gloves, aprons, and safety glasses or face shields, and possibly an appropriate respirator). Specific handling information can be obtained from the suppHer or manufacturer. 

Until the mid-1950s the main raw material source for the European plastics industry was coal. On destructive distillation coal yields four products coal tar, coke, coal gas and ammonia. Coal tar was an important source of aromatic chemicals such as benzene, toluene, phenol, naphthalene and related products. From these materials other chemicals such as adipic acid, hexamethylenedia-mine, caprolactam and phthalic anhydride could be produced, leading to such important plastics as the phenolic resins, polystyrene and the nylons. 

Powerforming is one tecnique used for aromatics chemical production. Powerforming uses a platinum catalyst to reform virgin naphthas. The principal reaction is the conversion of naphthenes in virgin naphthas to aromatics e.g., isomerization and dehydrocyclization reactions also occur in catalytic reforming. 

This example illnstrates several protective measnres that were provided for a vent manifold system in an actnal aromatics chemical plant. 

The heart of the petrochemical industry lies with the C2-C4 olefins, butadiene, and Ce-Cg aromatics. Chemicals and monomers derived from these intermediates are successively discussed in Chapters 7-10.

Jeff Quigg says the mixing of a perfume is "a trial and error process." An experienced perfumer must memorize a vast library of hundreds or even thousands of individual scents and combinations of scents. Perfume ingredients can be divided into natural essential oils (derived directly from plants) and aromatic chemicals (synthetically produced fragrance components). 

In this context, interesting exhaustive QSAR studies dealing with the assessment of phototoxic hazards of PAHs to aquatic organisms such as Daphnia were published some years ago [12-14]. Authors chose a descriptor based on the energy difference between the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). They proposed that aromatic chemicals with a HOMO-LUMO gap energy in a window of 7.2 eV 0.4 eV have a high phototoxic potential.
