 Anhydrous ammonia gas is compressed into liquid and mixed with other plant growth
enhancers. It can also be applied in gaseous form, where it combines with the moisture in the
dirt, resulting in ammonia-enriched fertilizer soil. Even though anhydrous ammonia can be
very dangerous, the nitrogen within its chemical structure actually makes the chemical quite
healthy for plant growth. Anhydrous ammonia is widely available and easy to apply, making it
a good option to boost plant productivity.
 Anhydrous ammonia is used in the manufacture of a number of medicines. However, that also
makes it a high risk for theft and use in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, a
psychoactive drug also known as meth. Theft of the amount of anhydrous ammonia needed to
make methamphetamine usually targets agricultural storage centres, where the ammonia is kept
for fertilizer use. Its importance as an intermediate step in the formation of other chemical
compounds makes anhydrous ammonia a common presence in pharmaceutical chemistry labs.

 Figure 6 PARA NITRO ANILINE Figure 5 PARA NITRO ANILINE

APPLICATION
4-Nitroaniline is mainly consumed industrially as a precursor to p-phenylenediamine, an important
dye component. The reduction is affected using iron metal and by catalytic hydrogenation.

It is a starting material for the synthesis of Para Red, the first azo dye:

When heated with sulfuric acid, it polymerizes explosively into a rigid foam.

LABORATORY USE
Nitroaniline is a solvatochromic dye used for determining Kamlet-Taft solvent parameters. The
position of its UV-visual peak changes with the balance of hydrogen bonding acceptors and donors in
the solvent.

TOXICITY
The compound is toxic by way of inhalation, ingestion, and absorption, and should be handled with
care. Its LD50 in rats is 750 mg/kg when administered orally. 4-Nitroaniline is particularly harmful to
all aquatic organisms, and can cause long-term damage to the environment if released as a pollutant.

 Gas storage process
As explain in this process to fill the anhydrous ammonia i.e. the pure ammonia without water
contain into the storage tank.

Steps to fill the ammonia in the storage tank

 as the tanker containing ammonia arrived it is first observed & leakage is checked.
 In winter season when the tanker is arrived it is fully covered with the ice around it as the
ammonia is extremely cold gas i.e. -33c boiling point.
 While in summer as the average temperature in atmosphere is around 40℃ Which is very high
than the boiling point of ammonia.
 during winter as tanker arrived it is being left for some hour so as to melt the ice.
 after melting the ice its condition of the various valve and gasket is being observed.
 after that two pipes are connected one for inlet and 2 nd for outlet.
 Compressor is being kept between them so as to maintain pressure difference.
 The compressor sucks the ammonia vapor from the storage tank reduce the pressure lesser then
the tanker maximum pressure difference is around 1kg/cm2 so as to maintain safety.
 The pressure is reduced in the storage tanker therefore, the ammonia vapor automatically starts
flowing from the tanker to storage tank due to pressure difference.
Manufacturing process:
PARA NITRO ANELINE(PNA)
 First the ammonia liquor is collected to reactor about 8500liter (up to 30% real ammonia), if
ammonia quantity is less than it is taken from ammonia storage tank.
 Now as the Raw material for PNA is PNCB which is at solid form at atmosphere temperature
therefore low-pressure stream i.e. 0.5kg/cm2 is supplied to it and is heated.
 Now this PNCB is collected in measuring vessel (MV) tank.
 From MV about 2300kg PNCB is taken in the reactor.
 Now as the reaction process starts in the reactor heating is done up to 155℃ to 160℃ or
30kg/cm2 to 32kg/cm2.
 After that it is maintain for 22hour as temp approx. 158℃ and pressure 32kg/cm2 max.
 Now gradually cooling start up to 145℃.
 Stop gradually cooling at 145℃ and start recovery up to pressure 0kg/cm2.
 Add plunger water to reactor.
 Now the reactor contains solid material and ammonia in it.
 Therefore, to separate this ammonia recovery process is done.
 Ammonia vapor is taken in the absorber and is moved with water so as to maintain density
about 0.95kg/cm2-0.99kg/cm2 and required density is achieved, if it does not achieve the
ammonia is taken to scrubber tank.
 this ammonia and water are called ammonia liquor which is used in next process.
 And powder material is collected to the ANF tank from where it is collected.
Manufacturing process:
ORTHO CHLORO PARA NITRO ANILINE
 Up to 7000 lit ammonia liquor is first collected in reactor up to (24% real ammonia).
 50liters of DDL is supplied to reactor.
 Now 1400kg DCNB is first stored in the measuring vessel then it is supplied to the reactor.
 Reaction process starts heating is done up to 155c to 158c or 21 kg/cm2 to 23 kg/cm2.
 After heating it is maintain for 18 hours at temperature 158c to 167c and pressure max
23kg/cm2.
 Now gradually cooling starts up to 145c and pressure 0kg/cm2.
 As reactor contain the ammonia and the powder material in it which is to be separated therefore
plunger water is added into the reactor.
 Recovery process starts in the absorber and the scrubber tank.
 And on the other side OCPNA is collected from the ANF tank.
