Production of _nitrobenzene_, by nitrating benzene requires to be done in closed apparatus, provided with mechanical agitators. In the subsequent separation of the nitrating acids from the resulting nitro-compounds, escape of vapourised nitro-compounds can scarcely be avoided even if closed apparatus is used. Provision, therefore, must be made for abundant ventilation of the workrooms. The reduction of the nitro-compounds (nitrobenzene, nitrotoluene) to aniline (toluidine) must similarly take place in closed agitating vessels. Introduction of the iron filings and sulphuric or hydrochloric acids, also the subsequent saturation with lime, and driving over of the aniline, &c., with steam, and collection of the distillate, must take place in completely closed apparatus. Nevertheless, escape of small quantities of aniline is very difficult to prevent unless ample ventilation is provided. In the production of _fuchsin_ by heating aniline hydrochloride (toluidine, red oil) with nitrobenzene (formerly arsenic acid) in closed vessels, furnished with mechanical stirring apparatus the aniline remaining unconverted after the melting escapes in the form of steam carrying aniline fumes, even with careful condensation, so that thorough ventilation and the other general measures for the protection of workers set forth on pp. 242 _et seq._ are required. Marked injury to health and distress to workers through acid fumes are sometimes caused by the denitration of the waste mixture of sulphuric and nitric acids in the nitrating process, that is, by the separation of nitric acid from the acid mixture. This denitration takes place usually in the Glover towers of the lead chamber system which is often associated with the manufacture of aniline. The mixed nitro-compounds of the waste acids, however, are often not completely condensed, but pass through the chambers and Gay-Lussac towers and escape into the air, whence arises the constant smell of nitrobenzene in aniline factories (Leymann). In the production of _naphthylamine_ and recovery of chlorinated products, escaping chlorine should be led into chloride of lime chambers, hydrochloric acid fumes into towers to be absorbed by water and milk of lime or a solution of soda.
