Read： 336 Time：17months ago Source：Transform the World with Simplicity

With the rapid development of all walks of life, as an important synthetic material and solvent, toluene is more and more widely used in various fields. As an organic compound, the production and application of toluene is also a field worth studying. Below, we will fully explore the use of toluene from the production and application of toluene.

1. Toluene Production

Toluene is an aromatic hydrocarbon organic compound with the molecular formula C7H8 and a methyl group in its molecular structure. Its production methods are mainly divided into two types: coal coking method and petroleum cracking method. Coal coking method refers to the use of coke and coal as raw materials, cracking at high temperature to produce toluene. The oil cracking law refers to the use of petroleum and other hydrocarbons, cracking at high temperatures to produce toluene. The two production methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The coal coking method produces toluene with higher purity, but has greater environmental pollution, while the petroleum cracking method is more efficient and has less environmental pollution. However, because the latter is cheaper to produce, it is currently more popular.

2. Toluene Application

1. Industrial field

Because toluene is an organic compound with strong solubility, it is widely used in various solvents in the industrial field. For example, toluene can be used as a major thinner for glues, coatings, lacquers, paints, etc., which can help these substances to better coat surfaces. In addition, toluene can also be used for the synthesis of alkylbenzene, p-xylene, etc., as an important raw material for the manufacture of other chemicals.

2.

in the medical field Since toluene can stimulate the central nervous system, it is used as an anesthetic in the medical field. In addition, toluene can also be used to make some drugs, such as oral liquid, gel, eye drops and so on. These drugs are widely used in the medical field.

3.

in the field of life In the field of life, toluene is also widely used. For example, toluene can be used to make fragrances and bright colors, cigarettes, and the like. In addition, toluene can also be used in printing, cosmetics, soap and many other fields.
