Quantitative Mass Balance Modelling for the Synthesis and Production of Ten High-Volume Insecticides
Abstract: This study presents a detailed quantitative mass balance analysis for the industrial synthesis and production of ten high-volume insecticides: acequinocyl, acetamiprid, acynonapyr, alpha-cypermethrin, benzpyrimoxan, bifenazate, bifenthrin, bistrifluron, broflanilide, and bromofos, focusing on material flows, process efficiencies, and environmental implications. These compounds, spanning diverse chemical classes like neonicotinoids, pyrethroids, and meta-diamides, are essential for crop protection but pose challenges due to resource-intensive syntheses and waste generation. For each insecticide, standardized manufacturing …
