What Is 2-Ethyl Anthraquinone?
2-Ethylanthraquinone (2-EAQ), CAS 84-51-5, has the formula C16H12O2 and a molecular weight of 236.27 g/mol. It is the working compound of the anthraquinone process for hydrogen peroxide: it is hydrogenated and then oxidized in a continuous cycle, releasing hydrogen peroxide each time. It is also used as a dye intermediate and in photosensitive resins.
Grade I (≥98.5%) and Grade II (≥98.0%) differ in assay, benzene-insoluble matter, moisture and trace iron, chlorine and sulfur. Both have a minimum initial melting point of 107°C on a dry basis. The TDS also lists a Grade III with an initial melting point of at least 106°C.
Grade choice depends on working-solution solubility and the impurity tolerance of the plant. 2-EAQ ships as Class 9, environmentally hazardous substance.
As a 2-ethylanthraquinone supplier and exporter in China, ZXCHEM packs the pale yellow flakes or powder in 25 kg drums.
