What is morpholine used for?

Morpholine is a colorless liquid with a weak Ammonia or fish- like odor. It is used as a solvent, rubber accelerator, corrosion inhibitor, boiler water additive, and brightener for detergents.

Is morpholine a pesticide?

Morpholine is an EPA registered pesticide and also appears on EPA Inert Ingredients List 3.

What is the chemical structure of morpholine?

C4H9NOMorpholine / Formula

Is morpholine a carcinogen?

Overall evaluation Morpholine is not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3).

How is morpholine manufactured?

A process for manufacturing morpholine which comprises reacting diethylene glycol with ammonia and a substantial pressure of hydrogen of at least 10 atmospheres at a substantial superatmospheric pressure between 30 and 400 atmospheres and at a temperature of 150 to 400 C.

Why morpholine is used in boiler feed water?

MORPHOLINE is an organic amine used for boiler water treatment. It increases the pH of boiler water to protect boiler against corrosion. MORPHOLINE is an amine based formulation and does not add salt to the boiler water and thereby does not increase the TDS which results in reduced blow down and fuel savings.

What is another name for morpholine?

Identifiers
CAS Number 110-91-8

How do you remove morpholine?

The morpholine is commonly separated from the reaction mixture by steam distillation after addition of alkali in amount sucient to render the mixture strongly alkaline.

Is morpholine an organic compound?

Morpholine is an organic heteromonocyclic compound whose six-membered ring contains four carbon atoms and one nitrogen atom and one oxygen atom that lies opposite to each other; the parent compound of the morpholine family.

Why trisodium phosphate is used in boiler?

Trisodium phosphate (Na3PO4), also known as TSP, is a common boiler water conditioning chemical that establishes moderately alkaline conditions in the boiler to minimize corrosion and reduce scaling where hardness ingress occurs.

What is the function of dosing of morpholine or proprietary chemicals downstream of the boiler feed water pump?

It increases the pH of boiler water to protect boiler against corrosion. Due to its amine based formulation, it does not add salt to the boiler and hence does not contribute to the TDS, which results in reduced blow down and fuel savings. Morpholine can be used in all types, size and pressure of boilers.

How do you synthesis morpholine?

The key step in the synthesis is a Pd-catalyzed carboamination reaction between a substituted ethanolamine derivative and an aryl or alkenyl bromide. The morpholine products are generated as single stereoisomers in moderate to good yield.

What are morpholine derivatives and how do they work?

Morpholine derivatives are synthetic heterocyclic compounds containing amine and ether functional groups. They have demonstrated inhibitory activity on plant, animal and human pathogenic fungi (Polak, 1983 ).

How did morpholine get its name?

For example, treating morpholine with hydrochloric acid makes the salt morpholinium chloride. The naming of morpholine is attributed to Ludwig Knorr, who incorrectly believed it to be part of the structure of morphine.

What is the conjugate of morpholine?

Because of the amine, morpholine is a base; its conjugate acid is called morpholinium. For example, treating morpholine with hydrochloric acid makes the salt morpholinium chloride.

What is the source of morpholine?

Morpholine is often produced industrially by the dehydration of diethanolamine with sulfuric acid: Morpholine is a common additive, in parts per million concentrations, for pH adjustment in both fossil fuel and nuclear power plant steam systems.
