R. Andreozzi et al., RATE EVOLUTION OF BENZONITRILE NITRATION UNDER HETEROGENEOUS CONDITIONS, Journal of chemical technology and biotechnology, 61(3), 1994, pp. 269-272
The development of the nitration process in heterogeneous mixtures of
benzonitrile and mixed acids of different compositions is followed in
a batch stirred isothermal reactor. Preliminary evaluation of the dist
ribution of the chemical species between the organic and acid phases a
llows mathematical modelling of benzonitrile nitration under heterogen
eous conditions to be achieved on the basis of the previously assessed
homogeneous nitration kinetics.
