The desired reaction is of a rather low exothermicity, but the more exothermic decomposition of p-nitro aniline starts at temperatures not far above the usual maximum reaction temperature. The worst upset condition during the desired reaction is considered to be leaving the steam heating on in the adiabatic part of the process (175-198°C) combined with failure to blow off ammonia and water...
