Read： 1837 Time：28months ago Source：

hydroquinone is white needle-like crystals. Melting point l72 ℃, boiling point 285 ℃(97.325kPa). Relative density 1.332(15 ℃). Flash point 165.1 ℃, spontaneous combustion temperature 516 ℃. Soluble in alcohol and ether, soluble in water, slightly soluble in benzene. When you see light in the air, it easily turns light red. Aqueous solution can be oxidized in air to brown.

Seven functions and uses

of hydroquinone 1. Used as imaging agent, dye and pharmaceutical raw material;

2. Used as analytical reagent, copper, gold reducing agent and developer

3. Colorimetric determination of phosphorus, magnesium, niobium, copper, silicon and arsenic. Polarographic and volumetric determination of iridium. Reducing agents of heteropoly acids, reducing agents of copper and gold. Test phosphate, tungstate, nitrate, nitrite, selenium and tellurium, etc.

4. Photometric determination of phosphorus, magnesium, niobium, copper, silicon and arsenic; Polarographic and volumetric determination of iridium; Heteropoly acid reducing agent; Copper and gold reducing agent; Test phosphate, tungstate, nitrate, nitrite, selenium and tellurium, etc.; Antioxidants; Chemical fertilizer industry desulfurizer; Urea synergist

5. As a polymerization inhibitor, hydroquinone can prevent acrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, cyanoacrylate and other polymerized monomers easily initiated by free radicals from polymerization.

6. Used as analytical reagent, copper, gold reducing agent and developer;

7. Hydroquinone is an intermediate of the herbicides quinolone, pyrifluoxalone, thiazolaoxalone, oxazolaoxalone, flupirchloroxalone, and milk fluoxalone. It is also an intermediate of medicine and dye.
