Abstract:
A process for the preparation of an aqueous slurry of a water-insoluble azo compound which comprises continuously mixing together, in a reaction zone from which the slurry is continuously removed, a first stream containing a diazonium compound resulting from the diazotization of a heterocyclic or weakly basic benzenoid amine in an acid medium, hereinafter referred to as the diazo component, and a second stream containing a compound capable of coupling with the diazo component under the conditions existing in the reaction zone to form a water-insoluble azo compound hereinafter referred to as the coupling component.
Abstract:
A process for the preparation of a desired chemical compound in a continuous reactor in which a part of the product stream exits the reactor and part of the product stream is recycled around the reactor in order to reduce the amount of buffer that would otherwise be required.
Abstract:
The invention is directed to an electrophotographic toner or developer, powder coating, ink jet ink or an electronic media having an azo colorant prepared by conducting the diazotization of aromatic or hetaromatic amines or the azo coupling reaction or the diazotization and the azo coupling reaction in a microreactor.
Abstract:
The invention provides a process for preparing azo colorants which comprises spraying one or more coupling components individually or in a mixture and one or more compatible diazonium salts individually or in a mixture, in their solution or suspension form through nozzles to a point of conjoint collision in a reactor chamber enclosed by a housing in a microjet reactor, a gas or an evaporating liquid being passed into the reactor chamber through an opening in the housing for the purpose of maintaining a gas atmosphere in the reactor chamber, and the resulting product solution or suspension and the gas or the evaporated liquid being removed from the reactor through a further opening in the housing by means of overpressure on the gas entry side or underpressure on the product and gas exit side.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of producing a disazo pigment, which a coupling reaction is carried out while feeding, into an acidic aqueous solution, a tetrazo aqueous solution containing a tetrazo component of benzidines and a coupler aqueous solution containing a coupling component, wherein the coupling component is a mixture comprising a main component represented by the formula (1): CH3COCH2CONH—X, wherein X represents a phenyl group optionally having one or the same or different plural substituents selected from the group consisting of a methyl group, methoxy group and chlorine atom; a first additional component represented by the formula (2): CH3COCH2CONH—Y, wherein Y represents a phenyl group having a substituent selected from the group consisting of —CONR2 group, —SO2NR2 group and —NHCOR group, and the phenyl group may further have a substituent selected from the group consisting of a methyl group, methoxy group, chlorine atom, —CONR2 group, —SO2NR2 group and —NHCOR group, and wherein Rs may be the same or different mutually, and represent a hydrogen atom, C1 to C4 alkyl group (the alkyl groups may be mutually connected to form a ring) or C1 to C4 alkylene NR′2, further wherein R's represent a hydrogen atom or C1 to C4 alkyl groups which may be mutually different (the alkyl groups may be mutually connected to form a ring); and, a second additional component represented by the formula (3): CH3COCH2CONH—Z, wherein Z represents a phenyl group substituted by any one of a carboxyl group or alkali metal salts thereof, hydroxyl group or sulfonic acid group or alkali metal salts thereof, and said phenyl group may further has a substituent selected from the group consisting of a methyl group, methoxy group, chlorine atom, carboxyl group or alkali metal salts thereof, hydroxyl group or sulfonic acid group or alkali metal salts thereof. According to the method, disazo pigments can be obtained which manifest excellent transparency and flowability of the inks produced therefrom, and excellent flushing property and flushing drain coloration resistance in the pigment production process, or excellent dispersibility when ink is formed under dry condition.

Abstract:
There is disclosed a process for coupling one or more different diazo components with resorcinol on an industrial scale. The process comprises adjusting and stabilizing the coupling pH of the resorcinol prior to the reaction with the aid of a buffer system and keeping it constant during the coupling reaction or reactions by controlling the ratio of flow of the streams of the diazo component or components and the base. The process makes it possible to prepare mono- and polyazo dyes in excellent uniform quality and yield.
