Cyanogen halides, particularly cyanogen bromide and cyanogen chloride, are prepared in an electrolysis cell with cathode and anode chambers separated by a semi-permeable diaphragm, by reacting halide ions with hydrogen cyanide or a salt thereof in the anode chamber by means of a direct current, the pH value of the reactant in the anode chamber being lower than 4.

Process for preparing cyanogen halides

An improved process and apparatus for preparing cyanuric chloride by trimerizing cyanogen chloride in the presence of chlorine. The cyanogen chloride is produced by electrolytically reacting a solution of hydrogen cyanide or a salt thereof with chloride ion in an anode chamber of an electrolytic cell at a pH of less than 4.
