Naphthalene History

In 1819-1820, at least two chemists reported a white solid with a pungent odor derived from the distillation of coal tar.
In 1821, John Kidd described many of this substance's properties and the means of its production, and proposed the name naphthaline, as it had been derived from a kind of naphtha (a broad term encompassing any volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon mixture, including coal tar).
In 1826, naphthaline's chemical formula was determined by Michael Faraday.
The structure of two fused benzene rings was proposed by Emil Erlenmeyer in 1866, and confirmed by Carl Gr?be three years later.

Naphthalene Uses

 Naphthalene (CAS NO.91-20-3) has widely uses:
1. It can be used as a chemical intermediate, mainly used as a precursor to other chemicals.The single largest use of naphthalene is the industrial production of phthalic anhydride, although more phthalic anhydride is made from o-xylene. Naphthalene is also used in the synthesis of 2-naphthol, a precursor for various dyestuffs, pigments, rubber processing chemicals and other miscellaneous chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
2. Used as a wetting Agent/Surfactant: Alkyl naphthalene sulfonates (ANS) are used in many industrial applications as detergent wetting agents that effectively disperse colloidal systems in aqueous media. The major commercial applications are in the agricultural chemical industry, which uses Alkyl naphthalene sulfonates (ANS) for wettable powder and wettable granular (dry-flowable) formulations, and the textile and fabric industry, which utilizes the wetting and defoaming properties of Naphthalene for bleaching and dyeing operations.
3. Naphthalene can be used as a fumigant,this is the most familiar use of Naphthalene,such as in mothballs although 1,4-dichlorobenzene (or p-dichlorobenzene) is now more widely used.
4. Niche applications:It is used in pyrotechnic special effects such as the generation of black smoke and simulated explosions.

Naphthalene Production

 Naphthalene (CAS NO.91-20-3) is produced from coal tar. In the coal tar process, coal tar is processed through a tar-distillation step where approximately the first 20 wt % of distillate (chemical oil) is removed. The chemical oil, which contains practically all the naphthalene present in the tar, is reserved for further processing, and the remainder of the tar is distilled further to remove additional creosote oil fractions until a coal-tar pitch of desirable consistency and properties is obtained. The chemical oil is processed to remove the tar acids by contacting with dilute sodium hydroxide and, in a few cases, is next treated to remove tar bases by washing with sulfuric acid.
 Crude naphthalene product is obtained by fractional distillation of the tar acid-free chemical oil, and the distillation may be accomplished in either a batch process or a continuous process. The tar acid-free chemi-cal oil is charged to the system, where most of the low boiling components such as benzene, xylene, and toluene, are removed in the light-solvent col-umn. The chemical oil next is fed to the solvent column, which is operated under vacuum, where a product containing the prenaphthalene components is taken overhead. This product, which is called coal-tar naphtha or crude heavy solvent, typically has a boiling range of approximately 130 to 200 °C and is used as a general solvent and as a feedstock for hydrocarbon-resin manufacture because of its high content of compounds such as indene and coumarone.
The naphthalene-rich bottoms from the solvent column then are fed to the naphthalene column where a naphthalene product (95% naphthalene) is produced. The naphthalene column is operated at near atmospheric pressure to avoid difficulties that are inherent to vacuum distillation of this product, for example, naphthalene-filled vacuum jets and lines. A side stream that is rich in methylnaphthalenes may be taken near the bottom of the naphthalene column.
 The main impurity in crude 78 °C coal-tar naphthalene is sulfur that is present in the form of thionaphthene (1 to 3%). Methyl- and dimethyl-naphthalenes also are present (1 to 2%) with lesser amounts of indene, methylindenes, tar acids, and tar bases.
