Abstract

The rates of nitration of benzene by nitric acid in mixed acid to produce mononitrobenzene have been measured in well‐emulsified reaction mixtures in the temperature range from 34Β° to 54Β°C. The acid‐phase compositions ranged from 1.6 mole % nitric acid and 27 mole % sulfuric acid to 35 mole % nitric acid and zero % sulfuric acid; the organicphase composition ranged from 4 to 95 mole % benzene, and the relative extent of the acid and organic phases was varied from 25 to 80 volume % acid phase.

The reaction rate based on the total volume of the reacting mixture is shown to be a function of the phase compositions, temperature, and volume % of acid phase.

## Abstract The nitration of (substituted) benzoic acid esters is usually performed in fed‐batch operation. The ester is solved in sulfuric acid charged first. The nitric acid dosed keeps the reaction temperature under control. The safety regarding uncontrolled reaction conditions was investigated

Chemical kinetics of benzonitrile nitration with mixed acid is investigated in the temperature range 283-299 K. Pseudo-first-order rate constants are evaluated by means of rate experiments on homogeneous reacting mixtures having large stoichiometric excesses of nitric acid. The second-order kinetic
