Description

3,5,6-Trichloro-2-pyridinol (3,5,6-TCP) is an intermediate in the production of chlorpyrifos. It is also a metabolite of chlorpyrifos and has been detected in urine samples. 3,5,6-TCP can be determined by titrimetric analysis using sodium carbonate as a reagent. 3,5,6-TCP is toxic to both humans and animals at high doses. The process optimization for the synthesis of 3,5,6-TCP was investigated in order to reduce the amount of wastewater produced during production. In this study it was found that reaction solution pH was significantly lower when anhydrous sodium carbonate was used instead of water saturated sodium carbonate. This discovery would allow for more efficient wastewater treatment because less wastewater would need to be treated per unit product.
