反応手順

In the aniline process (described e.g., in U.S. Pat. No. 4,145,228), however, mononitrobenzene is reacted with cast iron scrap in the presence of iron (II) and/or aluminum chloride solutions to produce both aniline and iron oxide. Separation of the crude aniline from the iron oxide is not as easily achieved as separation of iron oxide from water. In fact, such separation is commonly carried out in two stages. In the initial separation stage, crude aniline and a slurry in which iron oxide, water and by-products are present, are obtained from the reaction mixture. In a second step, the iron oxide is separated from the water and the inorganic by-products via conventional methods. Several methods for separation of the aniline from the slurry are known. Examples of such separation techniques are (1) vacuum distillation, (2) filtration, (3) steam distillation and (4) a combination of decantation and steam distillation.
