Fire Hazards
Behavior in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back. (USCG, 1999)
· HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames.;· Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air.;· Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back.;· Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along the ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks, etc.).;· Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers.;· Those substances designated with a (P) may polymerize explosively when heated or involved in a fire.;· Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard.;· Containers may explode when heated.;· Many liquids will float on water.
Highly flammable. Vapour/air mixtures are explosive. Risk of fire and explosion on contact with strong oxidants.
Health Hazards
Vapors irritate eyes and upper respiratory tract; cause dizziness, headache, anesthesia, respiratory arrest. Liquid irritates eyes and causes drying of skin. If aspirated, causes coughing, gagging, distress, and rapidly developing pulmonary edema. If ingested causes vomiting, griping, diarrhea, depressed respiration. (USCG, 1999)
· May cause toxic effects if inhaled or absorbed through skin.;· Inhalation or contact with material may irritate or burn skin and eyes.;· Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.;· Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation, especially when in closed or confined areas.;· Runoff from fire control or dilution water may cause environmental contamination.
Hazards Summary
Toluene is a clear, colorless liquid with a distinctive smell. Toluene occurs naturally in crude oil and in the tolu tree. It is also produced in the process of making gasoline and other fuels from crude oil and making coke from coal. Toluene is used in making paints, paint thinners, fingernail polish, lacquers, adhesives, and rubber and in some printing and leather tanning processes.
Toluene is added to gasoline, used to produce benzene, and used as a solvent. Exposure to toluene may occur from breathing ambient or indoor air affected by such sources. The central nervous system (CNS) is the primary target organ for toluene toxicity in both humans and animals for acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) exposures. CNS dysfunction and narcosis have been frequently observed in humans acutely exposed to elevated airborne levels of toluene; symptoms include fatigue, sleepiness, headaches, and nausea. CNS depression has been reported to occur in chronic abusers exposed to high levels of toluene. Chronic inhalation exposure of humans to toluene also causes irritation of the upper respiratory tract and eyes, sore throat, dizziness, and headache. Human studies have reported developmental effects, such as CNS dysfunction, attention deficits, and minor craniofacial and limb anomalies, in the children of pregnant women exposed to high levels of toluene or mixed solvents by inhalation. EPA has concluded that that there is inadequate information to assess the carcinogenic potential of toluene.
Chronic abuse from glue sniffing causes permanent cerebral and cerebellar dysfunction. Liver injury has been reported in glue sniffers. [ATSDR Case Studies: Toluene Toxicity] Toluene abuse may induce acute renal failure with rhabdomyolysis documented as the precipitating event in some cases. [Rosenstock, p. 577] Birth defects similar to the fetal alcohol syndrome occur when mothers abuse toluene during pregnancy. A study of women occupationally exposed to toluene showed an increased incidence of spontaneous abortions. [Frazier, p. 184-5] TLV Basis is impairment (CNS, visual, and hearing), female reproductive toxicity, and pregnancy loss. [ACGIH] The probability of cognitive deficits due to toluene exposure below a TLV of 50 ppm remains extremely low. [PMID 14598174]

For more Fire Fighting Procedures (Complete) data for TOLUENE (7 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
Storage Conditions
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Handle and store under inert gas.
Store in a flammable liquid storage area or approved cabinet away from ignition sources and corrosive and reactive materials. ... Before entering confined space where this chemical may be present, check to make sure that an explosive concentration does not exist. Toluene must be stored to avoid contact with strong oxidizers (such as chlorine, bromine, and fluorine), since violent reactions occur. Protect storage containers from physical damage. Sources of ignition, such as smoking and open flames, are prohibited where toluene is used, handled, or stored in a manner that could create a potential fire or explosion hazard. Metal containers involving the transfer of 5 gallons or more of toluene should be grounded and bonded. Drums must be equipped with self-closing valves, pressure vacuum bungs, and flame arresters. Use only nonsparking tools and equipment, especially when opening and closing containers of toluene.
Outside or detached storage is preferred. Inside storage should be in a standard flammable liquids storage warehouse, room, or cabinet. Separate from oxidizing materials.
Cleanup Methods
ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES: Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures: Use personal protective equipment. Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Ensure adequate ventilation. Remove all sources of ignition. Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Beware of vapors accumulating to form explosive concentrations. Vapors can accumulate in low areas; Environmental precautions: Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the environment must be avoided; Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up: Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and place in container for disposal according to local regulations.
Evacuate and restrict persons not wearing protective equipment from area of spill or leak until cleanup is complete. Remove all ignition sources. Establish forced ventilation to keep levels below explosive limit. Absorb liquids in vermiculite, dry sand, earth, peat, carbon, or a similar material and deposit in sealed containers. Keep this chemical out of a confined space, such as a sewer, because of the possibility of an explosion, unless the sewer is designed to prevent the buildup of explosive concentrations. It may be necessary to contain and dispose of this chemical as a hazardous waste. If material or contaminated runoff enters waterways, notify downstream users of potentially contaminated waters.
Eliminate all ignition sources. Stop or control the leak, if this can be done without undue risk. Use water spray to cool and disperse vapors and protect personnel. Absorb in noncombustible material for proper disposal. Control runoff and isolate discharged material for proper disposal.
1. Remove all ignition sources. 2. Ventilate area of spill or leak. 3. For small quantities, absorb on paper towels. Evaporate in safe place (such as fume hood). Allow sufficient time for evaporating vapors to completely clear hood ductwork. Burn paper in suitable location away from combustible materials.

毒理信息
Body Burden
Toluene was identified, not quantified, in 8 samples of mothers' milk from 4 urban areas(1). Toluene was detected in 250 of 250 specimens of human blood at concentrations of 0.2-38 ppb (1.5 ppb avg)(2). Toluene was detected in 91% of the samples of the National Human Adipose Tissue Survey at a maximum concentration of 250 ppb(3). Toluene was identified, not quantified, in expired breath of people at service stations during fueling(4). The mean concentration of toluene in the blood of non-occupationally exposed individuals in the US was 0.52 ppb(5). The average concentration of toluene in the blood and urine of workers in glass fiber and clutch lining plants were 911 ug/L and 2.9 mg/L, respectively(6). Toluene was detected in human blood samples collected from 292 adults aged 20-59 years old in the 1999-2000 NHANES study at a mean concentration of 0.442 ng/mL (range of 0.023-4.880 ng/mL)(7).
Treatment
If the compound has been ingested, rapid gastric lavage should be performed using 5% sodium bicarbonate. For skin contact, the skin should be washed with soap and water. If the compound has entered the eyes, they should be washed with large quantities of isotonic saline or water. In serious cases, atropine and/or pralidoxime should be administered. Anti-cholinergic drugs work to counteract the effects of excess acetylcholine and reactivate AChE. Atropine can be used as an antidote in conjunction with pralidoxime or other pyridinium oximes (such as trimedoxime or obidoxime), though the use of '-oximes' has been found to be of no benefit, or possibly harmful, in at least two meta-analyses. Atropine is a muscarinic antagonist, and thus blocks the action of acetylcholine peripherally.
Interactions
The exposure intensity during a shift and the metabolite levels in the shift-end urine were examined in male workers exposed to either benzene (65 subjects; the benzene group), toluene (35 subjects; the toluene group), or a mixture of both (55 subjects; the mixture group). In addition, 35 non-exposed male workers (the control group) were similarly examined for urinary metabolites to define background levels. A linear relationship was established between the intensity of solvent exposure and the corresponding urinary metabolite levels (i.e. phenol, catechol and quinol from benzene, and hippuric acid and o-cresol from toluene) in each case when one of the three exposed groups was combined with the control group for calculation. Comparison of regression lines in combination with regression analysis disclosed that urinary levels of phenol and quinol (but not catechol) were lower in the mixture group than in the benzene group when the intensities of exposure to benzene were comparable, indicating that the biotransformation of benzene to phenolic compounds (excluding catechol) in man is suppressed by co-exposure to toluene. Conversely, metabolism of toluene to hippuric acid was suppressed by benzene co-exposure. Conversion of toluene to o-cresol was also reduced by benzene, but to a lesser extent. The significance of the present findings on the mutual suppression of metabolism between benzene and toluene is discussed in relation to solvent toxicology and biological monitoring of exposure to the solvents.
As toluene is metabolized by CYPs, ADH, and ALDH, the chemical can interact with other xenobiotics metabolized by these enzymes. Concurrent exposure to solvents metabolized by the same CYP isoforms can result in competitive metabolic inhibition. /It has been observed/ that benzene and toluene suppressed one another's metabolism in humans. ... /A study/ found that toluene greatly reduced manifestations of peripheral neuropathy caused by n-hexane in rats. Although no interaction between toluene and xylenes were seen in humans inhaling low levels of each, simultaneous exposure to higher levels results in mutual metabolic suppression. Prior exposure to P450 inducers can result in increased rates of toluene metabolism/elimination and more rapid recovery from toluene-induced CNS depression. /Another study/ observed that high concentrations of inhaled toluene moderately induced four of the six P450 isoforms that metabolize it, but inhibited the other two in rat liver.
Voluntary inhalation of organic solvents, such as toluene, is particularly prevalent in adolescent populations and is considered to be a contributing factor to substance use and dependence later in life. While inhalants are often the initial "drug" experienced during this period, alcohol is another substance readily abused by adolescent populations. Although both substances are thought to have similar actions within the brain, our understanding of the implications of adolescent inhalant abuse upon subsequent exposure to alcohol remains to be investigated. Thus, this study aimed to assess locomotor responses to acute ethanol and voluntary ethanol consumption following a period of toluene inhalation throughout adolescence/early adulthood. Adolescent male Wistar rats (postnatal day [PN] 27) inhaled air or toluene (3000 ppm) for 1 hr/day, 3 days/week for 4 (PN 27-52) or 8 weeks (PN 27-80) to mimic the patterns observed in human inhalant abusers. Following the exposure period, cross-sensitization to acute ethanol challenge (0.5 g/kg, intra-peritoneally [i.p.]), and voluntary consumption of 20% ethanol in a chronic intermittent 2-bottle choice paradigm, were assessed. Hepatic ethanol and acetaldehyde metabolism and liver histopathology were also investigated. Chronic intermittent toluene (CIT) exposure throughout adolescence for up to 8 weeks did not alter the behavioral response to acute ethanol or voluntary consumption of ethanol in adulthood, although an age-dependent effect on ethanol consumption was observed (p<0.05). Both liver function and pathology did not differ between treatment groups. Thus, in the paradigm employed, CIT exposure throughout adolescence and early adulthood did not predispose rats to subsequent locomotor sensitivity or voluntary consumption of ethanol in adulthood.
Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study is to examine the negative effects of toluene on kidney tissues and functions and to investigate the protective effects of CAPE against toluene-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. A total of 21 male Wistar rats were divided into three groups of equal number in each. The rats in group I were the controls. Toluene was intraperitoneally injected into the rats in group II with a dose of 500 mg/kg. Rats in group III received CAPE daily while exposed to toluene. After 14 days of experimental period, all rats were killed by decapitation. Enzymatic activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were studied in the rat kidneys. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine levels were measured for renal function. The CAT and SOD enzyme activities and serum creatinine levels were significantly increased in rats treated with toluene when compared with the controls. But GSH-Px activity, MDA, and BUN levels showed statistically nonsignificant changes. However, increased CAT and SOD enzyme activities and decreased serum creatinine levels were detected in the rats that received CAPE while exposed to toluene. The GSH-Px activity and MDA and BUN levels in the same group did not show statistically significant changes. The results of our study demonstrated that toluene damages kidney tissue and is a nephrotoxic substance. CAPE was able to prevent the renal damage as antioxidant, antitoxic, and nephroprotective agent.

Health Effects
Acute exposure to cholinesterase inhibitors can cause a cholinergic crisis characterized by severe nausea/vomiting, salivation, sweating, bradycardia, hypotension, collapse, and convulsions. Increasing muscle weakness is a possibility and may result in death if respiratory muscles are involved. Accumulation of ACh at motor nerves causes overstimulation of nicotinic expression at the neuromuscular junction. When this occurs symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, muscle cramps, fasciculation, and paralysis can be seen. When there is an accumulation of ACh at autonomic ganglia this causes overstimulation of nicotinic expression in the sympathetic system. Symptoms associated with this are hypertension, and hypoglycemia. Overstimulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system, due to accumulation of ACh, results in anxiety, headache, convulsions, ataxia, depression of respiration and circulation, tremor, general weakness, and potentially coma. When there is expression of muscarinic overstimulation due to excess acetylcholine at muscarinic acetylcholine receptors symptoms of visual disturbances, tightness in chest, wheezing due to bronchoconstriction, increased bronchial secretions, increased salivation, lacrimation, sweating, peristalsis, and urination can occur. Certain reproductive effects in fertility, growth, and development for males and females have been linked specifically to organophosphate pesticide exposure. Most of the research on reproductive effects has been conducted on farmers working with pesticides and insecticdes in rural areas. In females menstrual cycle disturbances, longer pregnancies, spontaneous abortions, stillbirths, and some developmental effects in offspring have been linked to organophosphate pesticide exposure. Prenatal exposure has been linked to impaired fetal growth and development. Neurotoxic effects have also been linked to poisoning with OP pesticides causing four neurotoxic effects in humans: cholinergi

Environmental Fate
TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values of 37-178 measured in soil(2,3) indicate that toluene is expected to have high to moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of toluene from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given a Henry's Law constant of 6.64X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(4). Toluene is expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon a vapor pressure of 28.4 mm Hg at 25 °C(5). Complete biodegradation of toluene was observed in lab microcosm tests during a 40 hour incubation period using soils previously exposed to toluene(6). The biodegradation half-life in various soils was reported as several hours to 71 days(7). These tests suggest that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).
AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), a Koc value of 166 measured in lake sediment(2) indicates that toluene is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon a Henry's Law constant of 6.64X10-3 atm-cu m/mole(4). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 1 hour and 4 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(5), BCF values of 13(6) and 90(7) measured in fish suggest the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low to moderate(SRC). The half-life of toluene in aerobic and anaerobic water was reported as 4 and 56 days(8), respectively, suggesting that biodegradation is an important environmental fate process in water(SRC).
ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), toluene, which has a vapor pressure of 28.4 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase toluene is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals, nitrate radicals and ozone molecules(SRC). The half-life for the reaction with hydroxyl radicals is estimated to be 2 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 5.93X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(3). The half-life for the nighttime reaction with nitrate radicals is estimated as 491 days(SRC) calculated from its rate constant of 6.8X10-17 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(4). The half-life for the reaction with ozone is estimated as 27,950 days(SRC) calculated from its rate constant of 4.1X10-22 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(4). Toluene does not absorb light at wavelengths >290 nm(5) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

Mechanism of Action
The present study demonstrates reductions of dopamine (DA) turnover in various areas of the anterior nucleus caudate of rat by toluene at concentrations lower than the current OSHA threshold limit value (100 ppm). Thus, toluene at low concentrations may produce disturbances in dopaminergic mechanisms of the basal ganglia probably leading to functional changes in sensory-motor integration. The increases in DA turnover in the cholecystokinin (CCK)-DA terminals of the subcortical limbic system induced by high concentrations of toluene may be part of the neurochemical basis for its abuse as a euphoric agent in man.
Exposure to toluene causes both reversible and irreversible changes in the central nervous system. The effects of toluene inhalation on some specific enzymes and glutamate and GABA receptor binding in defined parts of the rat brain were studied following several exposure schemes. The activities of the transmitter synthesizing enzymes glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD), choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and aromatic amino-acid decarboxylase (AAD) were used as markers for permanent loss of neuronal activity. Catecholaminergic neurons showed a 50% reduction in the brain stem after 4 weeks exposure to 250 and 1000 ppm toluene. Following 500 ppm of toluene, 16 hr/day for 3 months, a general increase in the activities was seen. This is most probably due to a reduction in total protein content, to which the activities were related. The neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA had their specific receptor binding increased in most of the brain areas studied, but decreased in some areas. The glial enzyme, glutamine synthetase, has its activity increased in the cerebellar hemisphere following 4 weeks exposure to 1000 ppm. This suggests that glial cells in the area may have proliferated, a frequent phenomenon following CNS damage.
The effect on energetic metabolism of rat liver mitochondria (RLM) of styrene and other aliphatic benzene derivatives, i.e. toluene, ethylbenzene, alpha-methylstyrene and butylbenzene, is studied. It is shown that these compounds uncouple oxidative phosphorylation and this effect is connected with the stimulation of passive entry of protons into mitochondria. The relationship between hydrophobicity of these compounds and their biological activity and mechanism of uncoupling effect are discussed.
Biological Half-Life
Blood: 0.5 hours (can range up to 90 hours depending upon fat deposition); for hippuric acid in urine: 1.5 hours; [TDR, p. 1145]
In mice, toluene is eliminated from alveolar air with a biologic half-life of 2.6 hours; elimination from blood and brain occurs with a half-life of 1 hour. In rats, the mean half-time for toluene uptake from air at 1000 to 3000 ppm was 34 minutes and the half-times for the rapid and slow elimination phases were 6 and 90 minutes, respectively. Alveolar and circulating toluene concentrations decrease as a direct function of respiratory and cardiac rates after exposure ceases. The elimination half-time for toluene from human tissue is 0.5 to 2.7 days after inhaling 70 ppm for 2 hours.
After exposure ceased, the elimination of toluene was followed up in 11 /rotogravure printers/. The toluene concentration in venous blood decreased non-linearly and the elimination curves contained at least three exponential components. The first two had median estimated half times of nine minutes and two hours respectively. The third component, with a median half time of 90 hours, reflected the decline in adipose tissue, which had a median half time of 79 hours (range 44-178).
0.083 days (Inhaled as environmental air)
Metabolism/Metabolites
Toluene is well metabolized, but a portion is exhaled unchanged. Hepatic P450s catalyze metabolism of toluene primarily to benzyl alcohol and lesser amounts of cresols. Benzyl alcohol is converted by ADH and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) to benzoic acid, which is primarily conjugated with glycine and eliminated in the urine as hippuric acid.
Toluene is metabolized to benzoic acid, followed by hepatic cytochrome P-450 catalyzed glycine conjugation to form hippuric acid. Approximately 75% to 80% of the absorbed toluene is metabolized to benzoic acid, and 62% to 72% is eliminated by humans in the urine as hippuric acid. As the amount of absorbed toluene is increased, the relative importance of the glucuronide conjugated increased. Relatively small amounts appear in urine as the o-cresol (0.12%-0.43%) and p-cresol where they occur as glucuronide and sulfate derivatives. Less than 2% of the absorbed toluene is eliminated in feces.
In rats, approx 0.5%-1.1% of the dose is converted to o-cresol and p-cresol and is excreted as glucuronide and sulfate conjugates.
In mammalian species, acidic metabolites are conjugated with glycine to form hippuric acid and phenylacetic acid. In humans, the phenylacetic acid metabolite is also conjugated with glutamine to form phenacetylglutamine.
Toluene has known human metabolites that include Benzyl alcohol, o-Cresol, and 4-Methylphenol.
Inhalation and ingestion are the primary routes of exposure, though toluene may also be absorbed through the skin. It accumulates rapidly in the brain and is subsequently deposited in other tissues according to their lipid content, with the highest levels attained in adipose tissue. The primary initial steps in toluene metabolism is side-chain hydroxylation catalyzed predominately by the cytochrome P450 isozyme CYP2E1, followed by oxidation to benzoic acid. Most of the benzoic acid is then conjugated with glycine to form hippuric acid, but a small portion can be conjugated with UDP-glucuronate to form the acyl-glucuronide. A very small portion of absorbed toluene can be converted by CYP1A2, CYP2B2, or CYP2E1 to ortho- or para-cresol. These metabolites are excreted in the urine, and the remaining toluene is exhaled unchanged. (T10, L174)
Absorption, Distribution and Excretion
In a group of 37 rotogravure printers a close correlation (rs = 0.78) was found between the time weighted toluene exposure during a five day working week (range 8-416 mg/cu m, median 75) and the concentration of toluene in subcutaneous adipose tissue (range 1.1-20.7 mg/kg, median 3.8). After exposure ceased, the elimination of toluene was followed up in 11 subjects. The toluene concentration in venous blood decreased non-linearly and the elimination curves contained at least three exponential components. The first two had median estimated half times of nine minutes and two hours respectively. The third component, with a median half time of 90 hours, reflected the decline in adipose tissue, which had a median half time of 79 hours (range 44-178). The study showed protracted endogenous toluene exposure from adipose tissue depots long after the end of exogenous exposure. The observations also suggest that the blood toluene concentrations on Monday mornings might be used as an index of the exposure in the previous week.
Studies quantifying oral absorption of toluene are limited but have demonstrated nearly 100% absorption following a single oral exposure. In volunteers exposed to an infusion of 2 mg toluene/minute for 3 hours (~5 mg/kg) via a gastric tube, absorption of toluene, measured by monitoring exhaled air for toluene and urine for toluene metabolites, was found to be complete. /Another study/ reported that greater than 99% of a single gavage dose of radiolabeled toluene in rats was eliminated in the urine or expired air, indicating near-total absorption of the exposure dose.
Toluene is absorbed through human skin slowly, with absorption rates ranging from 14 to 23 mg/sq cm-hour.
Studies in both humans and animals have shown that the majority of toluene in the body is eliminated in the urine, mainly as metabolites.

Methods of Manufacturing
It is possible to synthesize toluene industrially by alkylation of benzene with methanol, and by cyclization of n-heptane with subsequent aromatization. However, for economic reasons toluene is extracted from ... reformates from crude petroleum distillates; liquid products from the pyrolysis of hydrocarbons (steam cracking) /and/ liquid products from the gasification or coking (pyrolysis) of coal, lignite, etc. ... An important aspect of the extraction of toluene is the fact that the pyrolysis products (from steam cracking, coking, etc.) must be hydrogenated before pure toluene can be extracted. The unsaturated components are converted to saturated ones and the heteroatoms such as sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen are removed. In the case of reformates such pretreatment is usually unnecessary. For the separation of toluene from other components within the same boiling range several methods are available, depending on quality requirements. Fine fractionation is now suitable only for the production of toluene with lower purity, and involves significant losses in fores and tails. Azeotropic distillation uses entrainers, such as methanol, to separate toluene from nonaromatics; a nonaromatics - methanol fraction with a lower bp than the methanol - toluene azeotrope distills at the column head, while pure toluene is removed from its base. Methanol is recovered from the distillate by washing with water. For economic reasons, extractive distillation is now used only for the separation of toluene from nonaromatics. Technical grade solvents with higher bp than toluene have proved to be suitable extraction agents, e.g., N-methylpyrrolidone (Distapex process, Lurgi Ol-Gas-Chemie), and morpholine (Morphylane process, Krupp-Koppers). Extractive distillation essentially involves two distillation columns between which the extraction agent is circulated. The toluene-containing material is charged to the extraction column; the extraction agent is charged to the column head. The extraction

应用领域
概述甲苯(分子式:C7H8)系苯的同系物,亦名“甲基苯”、“苯基甲烷”,是一种无色,带特殊芳香味的易挥发液体。 甲苯是芳香族碳氢化合物的一员,在空气中,甲苯只能不完全燃烧,火焰呈黄色。它的很多性质与苯很相像,具有类 似苯的芳香气味,在现今实际应用中常常替代有相当毒性的苯作为有机溶剂使用,它的沸点(常压)110.63℃,熔点 -94.99℃,凝固点为-95℃,密度为0.866克/厘米3。甲苯温度计正是利用了它的凝固点比水很低,可以在高寒地 区使用;而它的沸点又比水的沸点高,可以测110.8℃以下的温度。因此从测温范围来看,它优于水银温度计和酒精 温度计。另外甲苯比较便宜,故甲苯温度计比水银温度计也便宜。甲苯几乎不溶于水(0.52g/l),但可以和二硫化碳 ,酒精,乙醚以任意比例混溶,在氯仿,丙酮和大多数其他常用有机溶剂中也有很好的溶解性。甲苯的粘性为0,6 mPa s,也就是说它的粘稠性弱于水,甲苯的热值为40.940 kJ/kg,闪点为4 ℃,燃点为535 ℃。蒸气和空气形成爆炸 性混合物,爆炸极限1.2~7.0%(体积)。如甲苯溶解溴后,在光照条件下,甲基上的氢原子被溴原子取代(与甲烷 相似)而在铁作催化剂条件下,苯基上的氢原子被溴原子取代(与苯相似);但甲苯分子中存在着甲基和苯基的相互 影响,使得甲苯又具有不同于苯和甲烷的性质,如苯环上的取代反应(卤化、硝化等),甲苯比苯容易进行,甲苯分 子中的甲基可以被酸性高锰酸钾溶液氧化。甲苯容易发生氯化,生成苯—氯甲烷或苯三氯甲烷,它们都是工业上 很好的溶剂;它可以萃取溴水中的溴,但不能和溴水反应;它还容易硝化,生成对硝基甲苯或邻硝基甲苯,它们都是 染料的原料;一份甲苯和三份硝酸硝化,可得到三硝基甲苯(俗名TNT);它还容易磺化,生成邻甲苯磺酸或对甲苯 磺酸,它们是做染料或制糖精的原料。甲苯的蒸汽与空气混合形成爆炸性物质,因此它可以制造梯恩梯炸药。
用途甲苯可用作生产苯和许多其他化工产品的原料。如油漆、清漆、亮漆、粘合剂及油墨制造业及天那水配方用之稀释剂 ,树脂溶剂;化学及制造业用之溶剂;尤以萃取及脱脂两工序最为适合。另也为化学合成用之原料。还可用作汽油的 掺合组分以提高辛烷值,也是涂料、油墨和硝酸纤维素的溶剂。由甲苯生产的一系列中间体,称甲苯系中间体。化工 方面主要用以生产苯及二甲苯,其下游主要产品是硝基甲苯、苯甲酸、氯化苄、间甲酚、甲苯二异氰酸酯等,还可生 产很多农药和医药中间体。另外,甲苯具有优异的有机物溶解性能,是一种有广泛用途的有机溶剂。甲苯容易发生氯 化,生成苯—氯甲烷或苯三氯甲烷,它们都是工业上很好的溶剂;它还容易硝化,生成对硝基甲苯或邻硝基甲苯,它 们都是染料的原料;它还容易磺化,生成邻甲苯磺酸或对甲苯磺酸,它们是做染料或制糖精的原料。甲苯的蒸汽与空 气混合形成爆炸性物质,因此它可以制造梯思梯炸药。
用途广泛用作有机溶剂和合成医药、涂料、树脂、染料、炸药和农药等的原料
用途萃取用溶剂。
用途甲苯大量用作溶剂和高辛烷值汽油添加剂,也是有机化工的重要原料,但与同时从煤和石油得到的苯和二甲苯相比,目前的产量相对过剩,因此相当数量的甲苯用于脱烷基制苯或岐化制二甲苯。甲苯衍生的一系列中间体,广泛用于染料、医药、农药、火炸药、助剂、香料等精细化学品的生产,也用于合成材料工业。甲苯进行侧链氯化得到的一氯苄、二氯苄和三氯苄,包括它们的衍生物苯甲醇、苯甲醛和苯甲酰氯(一般也从苯甲酸光气化得到),在医药、农药、染料,特别是香料合成中应用广泛。甲苯的环氯化产物是农药、医药、染料的中间体。甲苯氧化得到苯甲酸,是重要的食品防腐剂(主要使用其钠盐),也用作有机合成的中间体。甲苯及苯衍生物经磺化制得的中间体,包括对甲苯磺酸及其钠盐、CLT酸、甲苯-2,4-二磺酸、苯甲醛-2,4-二磺酸、甲苯磺酰氯等,用于洗涤剂添加剂,化肥防结块添加剂、有机颜料、医药、染料的生产。甲苯硝化制得大量的中间体。可衍生得到很多最终产品,其中在聚氨酯制品、染料和有机颜料、橡胶助剂、医药、炸药等方面最为重要。

制备方法
生产方法煤焦化副产的粗苯馏分中含甲苯15-20%,曾经是甲苯主要来源,生产每吨焦炭可回收甲苯1.1-1.3kg。从50年代开始,世界甲苯主要来源已由焦化副产转变为催化重整和烃类裂解,1982年,石油甲苯已占总产量的96%以上。催化重整油中含芳烃50-60%(体积),其中甲苯含量可达40-45%;裂解汽油中芳烃含量为70%(质量)左右,其中15-20%是甲苯。1.炼焦副产回收苯高温炼焦副产的高温焦油中,含有一部分苯。首先经初馏塔初馏,塔顶得轻苯,塔底得重苯(重苯用作制取古马隆树脂的原料)。轻苯先经初馏塔分离,塔底混合馏分经酸碱洗涤除去杂质,然后进吹苯塔蒸吹,再经精馏塔精馏得纯苯。2.铂重整法用常压蒸馏得到的轻汽油(初馏点约138℃),截取大于65℃馏分,先经含钼催化剂,催化加氢脱出有害杂质,再经铂催化剂进行重整,用二乙二醇醚溶剂萃取,然后再逐塔精馏,得到苯、甲苯、二甲苯等产物。
生产方法由石油催化重整而得。由煤焦油轻油分馏而得。
