Aniline Uses
- Chemical Manufacturing
Aniline is a key raw material for producing various chemicals, including pesticides (triazophos, pyridazinphos), herbicides (alachlor, acetochlor), and intermediates like butachlor and hexazinone. - Dyes and Organic Synthesis
Aniline serves as the basis for many dyes, enhancing solution sensitivity. It is also used in organic synthesis and the production of colors. - Industrial Applications
Utilized in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, varnishes, rubber accelerators, fungicides, and herbicides. It also plays a role in vulcanizing rubber and as a solvent. - Microcrystalline Analysis
Employed in tests for halogens, metals, and organic compounds, separating easily hydrolyzed salts. - Environmental Impact
Aniline, a metabolite of several toxic substances, is hazardous to aquatic life and is listed as a contaminant by the U.S. EPA.
