1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Description

Trichlorobenzenes (TCBs) are synthetic chemicals that occur in three different isomeric forms. The three chlorinated cyclic aromatic isomers are 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene (1,2,3-TCB), 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (1,2,4-TCB), and 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene (1,3,5-TCB). 1,2,4-TCB is one of the 188 chemicals designated as a hazardous air pollutant under the Clean Air Act.

Chemical Properties

1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene is a low-melting solid or liquid with a pleasant, aromatic odor. The Odor Threshold is 1.4 ppm.

Physical properties

Colorless liquid with an odor similar to o-dichlorobenzene. Odor threshold concentration is 1.4 (quoted, Amoore and Hautala, 1983). Miscible with most organic solvents and oils; insoluble in water. Combustible.

Uses

1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene is used as a dielectric and heat transfer fluid in transformers. It acts as an intermediate, degreaser, wood preservative and solvent for dye. It is a high-temperature solvent used in gel permeation chromatography, especially for polyethylene and polypropylene. Further, it is used as a lubricant and as a synthetic transformer oil.

Definition

ChEBI: 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene is a trichlorobenzene with chloro substituents at positions 1, 2 and 4. It is a solvent in various organic chemical reactions.

Application

Trichlorobenzenes are primarily used as solvents in chemical manufacturing industries. 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene is economically the most important isomer. It is used as a solvent in chemical reactions to dissolve oils, waxes, and resins. Furthermore, it is also used as a dye carrier. 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene is a highly chlorinated aromatic solvent. It may be used as a solvent to prepare:
dimethylketene β-lactone dimer from tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanedione
salicyl-o-toluide by the reaction of phenyl salicylate and o-toluidine

General Description

Colorless liquid or white solid with a sharp chlorobenzene odor. Melting point 16.95°C (62.5°F) .

Reactivity Profile

1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene can react vigorously with oxidizing materials . Yields hydrogen chloride and phosgene when heated to decomposition [USCG, 1999].

Health Hazard

Exposures to high concentrations via inhalation are potentially hazardous to the lungs, kidneys and liver. Prolonged or repeated exposures or short exposure to high concentrations via inhalation are potentially hazardous to the lungs, kidneys and liver. Prolonged or repeated exposure to the eyes is likely to result in moderate pain and transient irritation. Prolonged or repeated contact with the skin may result in moderate irritation and possible systemic effects. Ingestion: May cause kidney and liver damage.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion. Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. An experimental teratogen. Experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. A slan irritant. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame. Can react vigorously with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use water, foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. See also CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS, AROMATIC.

Potential Exposure

1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene is used as a dye carrier, herbicide intermediate; a heat transfer medium; a dielectric fluid in transformers; a degreaser; a lubricant; as an industrial chemical; solvent, emulsifier, and as a potential insecticide against termites. The other trichlorobenzene isomers are not used in any quantity.

Environmental Fate

Biological. Under aerobic conditions, biodegradation products may include 1,2-dichlorobenzene, 1,3-dichlorobenzene, 1,4-dichlorobenzene, and carbon dioxide (Kobayashi and Rittman, 1982). A mixed culture of soil bacteria or a Pseudomonas sp. transformed 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene to 2,4,5- and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (Ballschiter and Scholz, 1980). When 1,2,4- trichlorobenzene was statically incubated in the dark at 25 °C with yeast extract and settled domestic wastewater inoculum, significant biodegradation occurred, with gradual acclimation followed by a deadaptive process in subsequent subcultures. At a concentration of 5 mg/L, 54, 70, 59, and 24% losses were observed after 7, 14, 21, and 28-d incubation periods, respectively. At a concentration of 10 mg/L, only 43, 54, 14, and 0% were observed after 7, 14, 21, and 28-d incubation periods, respectively (Tabak et al., 1981). In activated sludge, <0.1% mineralized to carbon dioxide after 5 d (Freitag et al., 1985).
In an enrichment culture derived from a contaminated site in Bayou d’Inde, LA, 1,2,4- trichlorobenzene underwent reductive dechlorination to 1,3- and 1,4-dichlorobenzene at relative molar yields of 4 and 96%, respectively. The maximum dechlorination rate, based on the recommended Michaelis-Menten model, was 4.6 nM/d (Pavlostathis and Prytula, 2000).
Surface Water. Estimated half-lives of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene (0.5 μg/L) from an experimental marine mesocosm during the spring (8–16 °C), summer (20–22 °C), and winter (3–7 °C) were 22, 11, and 12 d, respectively (Wakeham et al., 1983).
Photolytic. A carbon dioxide yield of 9.8% was achieved when 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene adsorbed on silica gel was irradiated with light (λ >290 nm) for 17 h (Freitag et al., 1985).
Chemical/Physical. The hydrolysis half-life was estimated to be >900 yr (Ellington et al., 1988). At 70.0 °C and pH values of 3.10, 7.11, and 9.77, the hydrolysis half-lives were calculated to be 18.4, 6.6, and 5.9 d, respectively (Ellington et al., 1986).
At influent concentrations of 1.0, 0.1, 0.01, and 0.001 mg/L, the GAC adsorption capacities were 157, 77.6, 38.4, and 19.0 mg/g, respectively (Dobbs and Cohen, 1980).

Shipping

UN2321 Trichlorobenzenes, liquid, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.

Purification Methods

Separate it from a mixture of isomers by washing with fuming H2SO4, then water, drying with CaSO4 and slowly fractionally distilling. [Jensen et al. J Am Chem Soc 81 3303 1959, Beilstein 5 IV 664.]

Toxicity evaluation

The liver is themain target of trichlorobenzenes irrespective of the route of exposure. The mechanisms of liver toxicity induced by these chemicals have not been illustrated. It might involve intermediate arene oxides formed during initial transformation to trichlorophenols. In addition, exposure to 1,2,4-TCB induced porphyria in rats by inducing daminolevulinic acid (ALA) synthetase, a rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of heme, and also heme oxygenase, a ratelimiting enzyme in the degradation of heme synthetase, and therefore increasing heme production.

Incompatibilities

Reacts violently with oxidants, acids, acid fumes; steam.

Waste Disposal

Incineration, preferably after mixing with another combustible fuel. Care must be exercised to assure complete combustion to prevent the formation of phosgene. An acid scrubber is necessary to remove the halo acids produced.
