There are several current industrial
methods to produce 9,10-
Anthraquinone:
• The oxidation of anthracene, a reaction that is
localized at the central ring. Chromium(VI) is the
typical oxidant.
• The Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzene and phthalic
anhydride in presence of AlCl3 producing o-
benzoylbenzoic acid which then undergoes
cyclization, forming anthraquinone. This reaction is
useful for producing substituted anthraquinones.
• The Diels-Alder reaction of naphthoquinone and
butadiene followed by oxidative dehydrogenation
• The acid-catalyzed dimerization of styrene to give a
1,3-diphenylbutene, which then can be transformed to
the anthraquinone.
• This process was pioneered by BASF.

Ultrasonic extraction and
separation of
anthraquinones
from Rheum palmatum L.
Ultrasonic nebulization system.
An ultrasonic humidifier (Beijing Branson Ultrasound Co.,
Ltd., China) working at 1.7 MHz with a maximum output
power of 35 W was employed as ultrasonic source.A self-
made glass flask (100 mL, I.D. 10 cm) was used as
extraction vessel. On this vessel, there were three ports,
one of the ports which was on the bottom of the vessel
has the same size with the piezocrystal and was sealed by
PVC film.The space between the ultrasonic nebulization
extraction and piezocrystal was full of coupling water and
was 3 mm.The other two ports which were plugged when
the system was turned on were employed as reagent port
and sample port, respectively.

The anthraquinone market is
segmented on the basis of
application into:
• Dye manufacturing
• Paper manufacturing
• Wood pulp manufacturing
• Hydrogen peroxide
manufacturing
• Bird repellents
• Gas generators

• Anthraquinone is manufactured from phthalic anhydride and benzene in presence of
anhydrous aluminium.
• The VAT dyes obtained from anthraquinone derivatives are used for cotton dyeing and
hold the advantages of having fastness towards washing, perspiration, sunlight and
brightness of shades.
• Chemical industry. Anthraquinone is the basic raw material for many of its derivatives
which are used in the manufacture of vat dyes. Quinizarin and its derivative
leucoquinizarin are used for the manufacture of vat dyes and solvent dyes.
• Total project cost: US$ 3 million Machinery/equipment at works (in India) 1.85 million
Operational cost/year: US$ 4.5 million Know-how fee: US$ 250,000 Pay-back period:
3.5 years.
Inputs Required
Raw materials: phthalic anhydride, benzene, anhydrous aluminium chloride, para chloro
phenol, boric acid, sulphuric acid, 25 % oleum, ammonia gas, sodium chlorate, sodium
hydrosulphite, caustic soda flakes, potassium chloride, soda ash, nitro benzene
