PROCESS ECONOMICS PROGRAM SRI INTERNATIONAL Menlo Park, California ABSTRACT 94025 l Process Economics Program Report No. 171A (August 1985) -0 This report describes and evaluates the processes for making carbo- furan and mancozeb, as well as the intermediates for these two pesti- cides. Carbofuran is made from either catechol or o-nitrochlorobenzene. The economics of each route, including the manufacture of the inter- mediates methyl isocyanate and methallyl chloride, are evaluated. The catechol route is found to be economically superior. For methyl iso- cyanate, which is common to both routes, two nonphosgenation processes are evaluated and compared with two phosgenation processes. The non- phosgenation route is not only competitive with the phosgenation route, but also avoids the transport of both methyl isocyanate and Phosgene when integrated with carbofuran production. Mancoxeb is evaluated in detail, with a brief evaluation of two similar pesticides, maneb, and zineb. The intermediates are carbon disulfide and ethylenediamine. The process for making carbon disulfide from methane and sulfur is evaluated, with a discussion of the use of alternative carbon sources. For ethylenediamine, two processes start- ing from ethylene dichloride, one process from monoethanolamine, and 0 another from ethylene oxide are evaluated and compared.

  • The Use and Storage of Methyl Isocyanate (MIC) at Bayer Cropscience

    The Use and Storage of Methyl Isocyanate (MIC) at Bayer Cropscience

    Summary The Use and Storage of Methyl Isocyanate (MIC) at Bayer CropScience The use of hazardous chemicals such as methyl isocyanate can be a significant concern to the residents of communities adjacent to chemical facilities, but is often an integral, necessary part of the chemical manufacturing process. In order to ensure that chemical manufacturing takes place in a manner that is safe for workers, members of the local community, and the environment, the philosophy of inherently safer processing can be used to identify opportuni­ ties to eliminate or reduce the hazards associated with chemical processing. However, the concepts of inherently safer process analysis have not yet been adopted in all chemical manu­ facturing plants. This report presents a possible framework to help plant managers choose between alternative processing options—considering factors such as environmental impact and product yield as well as safety—to develop a chemical manufacturing system. n 2008, an explosion at the Bayer CropScience chemical production Iplant in Institute, West Virginia, resulted in the deaths of two employees, a fire within the production unit, and extensive damage to nearby structures. The accident drew renewed attention to the fact that the Bayer facility manufac­ tured and stored methyl isocyanate, or MIC—a volatile, highly toxic chemical used in the production of carbamate pesticides and the agent responsible for thousands of deaths in Bhopal, India, in 1984.

Lingens Institut für Mikrobiologie, Universität Hohenheim, Garbenstraße 30, D-7000 Stuttgart 70 Z. Naturforsch. 35 c, 80-87 (1980); received October 24, 1979 (—)-Ephedrine, (—)-Ephedrine: NAD+-oxidoreductase, Pseudomonas putida, Arthrobacter globiformis A bacterium utilizing the alkaloid (-)-ephedrine as its sole source of carbon was isolated by an enrichment-culture technique from soil supplemented with 4-benzoyl-l,3-oxazolidinon-(2). The bacterium was identified as Pseudomonas putida by morphological and physiological studies. The following metabolites were isolated from the culture fluid: methylamine, formaldehyde, methyl- benzoylcarbinol (2-hydroxy-1-oxo-l-phenylpropane), benzoid acid, pyrocatechol and cis, cis- muconic acid. A pathway for the degradation of (-)-ephedrine by Pseudomonas putida is proposed and compared with the degradative pathway in Arthrobacter globiformis. The enzyme, which is responsible for the first step in the catabolism of (-)-ephedrine could be demonstrated in extracts from Arthrobacter globiformis. This enzyme catalyses the dehydrogena­ tion of (—)-ephedrine yielding phenylacetylcarbinol/methylbenzoylcarbinol and methylamine. It requires NAD+ as cofactor and exhibits optimal activity at pH 11 in 0.1 M glycine/NaOH buffer. The K m value for (—)-ephedrine is 0.02 mM and for N A D + 0.11 mM , respectively. No remarkable loss of activity is observed following treatment

Fax: +1 706 542-0406 Abstract The reactions between substituted isocyanates (RNCO) and other small molecules (e.g. water, alcohols, and amines) are of significant industrial importance, particularly for the development of novel polyurethanes and other useful polymers. We present very high level ab initio computations on the HNCO + H2O reaction, with results tar- geting the CCSDT(Q)/CBS//CCSD(T)/cc-pVQZ level of theory. Our results affirm that hydrolysis can occur across both the N−C and C−O bonds of HNCO via con- certed mechanisms to form carbamate or imidic acid with ∆H0K barrier heights of 38.5 −1 and 47.5 kcal mol . A total of 24 substituted RNCO + H2O reactions were studied. Geometries obtained with a composite method and refined with CCSD(T)/CBS single point energies determine that substituted RNCO species have a significant influence on these barrier heights, with an extreme case like fluorine lowering both barriers by close to 20 kcal mol−1 and most common alkyl substituents lowering both by approxi- mately 4 kcal mol−1. Natural Bond Oribtal (NBO) analysis provides evidence that the 1 predicted barrier heights are strongly associated with the occupation of the in-plane C−O* orbital of the RNCO reactant.

    SCOEL/SUM/118 September 2006 Recommendation from the Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits for Methyl Isocyanate 8-hour TWA: - STEL (15 min): 0,02 ppm Additional classification: - Substance Identity and Properties CAS No.: 624-83-9 Synonyms: isocyanic acid methylester Structure: H3C-N=C=O Molecular weight: 57.06 Boiling point: 39°C Melting point: -45°C Vapour pressure: 46.4 kPa (20°C) Conversion factors: 1 ppm = 2.4 mg/m3 1 mg/m3 = 0.4 ppm Classification: F+; R12 Extremely flammable Repr.Cat.3; R63 Possible risk of harm to the unborn child T+; R26 Very toxic by inhalation T; R24/25 Toxic in contact with skin and if swallowed R42/43 May cause sensitization by inhalation and skin contact Xi; R37/38 Irritating to respiratory system and skin R41 Risk of serious damage to eyes 1 This summary document is based on a consensus document from the Swedish Criteria Group for Occupational Standards (Montelius, 2002). Methyl isocyanate (MIC) is a monoisocyanate and should be distinguished from the diisocyanates. At room temperature MIC is a clear liquid. It is sparingly soluble in water, although on contact with water it reacts violently, producing a large amount of heat. MIC has a sharp odour with an odour threshold above 2 ppm (Römpp and Falbe, 1997). Occurrence and Use Methylisocyanate (MIC) occurs primarily as an intermediate in the production of carbamate pesticides. It has also been used in the production of polymers (Hrhyhorczuk et al., 1992). Photolytic breakdown of N-methyldithiocarbamate releases some MIC, and it can therefore occur in the air around application of the pesticides (Geddes et al., 1995).
  • Methyl Isocyanate (Mic)

    Methyl Isocyanate (Mic)

    METHYL ISOCYANATE (MIC) I. Protocol Overview Methyl isocyanate, classified as a choking/pulmonary agent, is a water reactive liquid at room temperature. Methyl isocyanate is irritating and corrosive to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, including asthma-like allergy. Exposure to methyl isocyanate can result in cough, difficulty breathing, chest pain, excessive tearing (lacrimation), swelling of the eyes, and unconsciousness. Late stage exposure (next 24 to72 hours) can include acute lung injury, cardiac arrest, and death. Decontamination of patients is absolutely critical. For all suspected chemical exposures, consult the Poison Control Center (800-222-1222) located at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Information and treatment advice is available to the public and healthcare professionals at no charge. Methyl isocyanate is an intermediate chemical in the production of carbamate pesticides (such as carbaryl, carbofuran, methomyl, and aldicarb). It has been used in the production of rubbers and adhesives. The Bhopal India Disaster of 1984 was caused by the accidental release of 40 tons of methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas from a Union Carbide pesticide plant. Greenpeace cites 20,000 total deaths from related illnesses as its conservative estimate with nearly 3,000 people dead initially. Bhopal is frequently cited as the world's worst industrial disaster. There are no clinical biomarkers known for methyl isocyanate exposure. Routine laboratory studies include chest radiography and pulse oximetry (or ABG measurements). Rapid toxicological screening may rule out other exposures. Air samples may be analyzed using XAD-7 adsorption tubes followed analysis by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a fluorescence or ultraviolet (UV) detector. The Delaware Public Health Laboratory does not perform this testing.

OSHA defines these materials as "select" carcinogens, reproductive toxins and acutely toxic materials. Should you wish to add: explosive, violently reactive, pyrophoric and water-reactve materials to this category, the information is included. Carbon nanotubes have also been added due to their suspected carcinogenic properties.

Background 1.1.1. History In the past there has been no validated sampling and analytical procedures for methyl isocyanate (MIC) in air that could be used for compliance purposes. A search of the literature produced three procedures that were candidates for a validated method: The first procedure contained only analytical conditions for MIC derivatized with Nitro Reagent (nitrobenzyl-N-n-propylamine). (Ref. 5.1.) No data were presented to indicate the collection efficiency of the sampling device. The second procedure was a failure report by NIOSH that had derivatized MIC with Nitro Reagent or NMA (naphthylmethylamine) in a toluene impinger.

The reductive amination of acetone with methylamine and ethylamine was already investigated by Smirnov et al.[1] In this work, very similar results were obtained (Figure S1). 1.0 0.8 Conversion Y (Amine) 0.6 Y (Amine)[47] 0.4 Y (Alcohol) Y (Alcohol)[47] 0.2 Conversion, Yield (-) 0.0 Ammonia Methylamine Ethylamine Ethanolamine Figure S1: Conversion and yields Y of the electrocatalytic reductive amination of acetone with different amines compared to the results of Smirnov et al.[1] Conditions: Pb elec- −2 −1 trodes, 0.04 A cm , 2.4 mol L ketone in 0.5 M KH2PO4, acetone to amine ratio: 1:1.2, pH = 12, one faraday equivalent, 283 K.
