Procedure
About 18.4 liters, or about 15.95 Kg, of toluene were added to a steam jacketed blending vessel. About 4.0 kilograms of crystalline naphthalene were added to a separate vessel and slowly heated until the naphthalene was liquefied. The liquid naphthalene was then added to the toluene to produce a naphthalene:toluene weight ratio of about 0.25. The mixture was stirred until a homogeneous solution was obtained. About 0.6 liters, or about 0.62 Kg, of benzyl alcohol were then added to the homogeneous solution to produce a naphthalene:benzyl alcohol weight ratio of about 6.45. The solution was then allowed to stand for 72 hours before use.
