Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of Paracetamol production from nitrobenzene, hydrogen, and acetic anhydride. In this process, nitrobenzene is contacted with hydrogen in the presence of sulfuric acid, generating 4-aminophenol and aniline by-product. The aminophenol is recovered by distillation and further reacted with acetic anhydride to produce crude Paracetamol, which is further purified. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): Keywords: Acetaminophen, APAP, Acamol, Abensanil, Nitrobenzene, p-aminophenol, PAP, Mallinckrodt
