SO2 influence on nitration


Hello,

Can someone point me to a paper or a book were I can read about the influence of free SO2 in conc. sulphuric acid which is used for nitrating mixture/ mixed acid preparation?

It is know that in conc. >85% the solubility of SO2 in sulphuric acid increases, but I couldn't find any information about its (SO2) influence on nitration (if there is any)?

Best.

Where did you find H2SO4 with dissolved SO2? It is a rather exotic solution. Oleum is the solution of SO3 in sulphuric acid and is used for nitration.

Hello caterpillar,

Please see "The Solubility of Sulphur Dioxide in Sulphuric Acid" by FD Miles and J. Fenton (doi: 10.1039/CT9201700059).

Best.

And what? I can dissolve some salt in the water but it doesn't mean, that I will drink water with salt- I will use clean water for drinking. Where will you get sulphuric acid with a significant amount of dissolved SO2?

Yes, you're right. But I'am asking this because usually I use H2SO4 that contains up to 50 ppm of dissolved SO2 for my nitrations. I was given an acid that contains up to 80 ppm of SO2 and I was asked if it is a problem? I really didn't know what to answer and couldn't find any information on the influence of SO2 on the process.

80 PPM of SO2 is about 0.00125 M

95 percent H2SO4 is around 17 M

This amount of SO2 is inconsequential.

And, moreover, when you add nitric acid or some nitrate to sulphuric acid, SO2 will definitely be turned into SO3.

Exactly that. I thought OP meant something more like a saturated solution of SO2 in H2SO4.
