A process of the type for producing 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane by introducing 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane, chlorine, and Lewis acid catalyst, optionally in the presence of carbon tetrachloride, the improvement comprising introducing the Lewis acid as a slurry within a chlorinated hydrocarbon.

Process for the production of chlorinated hydrocarbons

A method of producing carbon tetrachloride includes providing a chloromethanes stream, combining the chloromethanes stream with chlorine and additional carbon tetrachloride to form a reaction mixture, wherein the reaction mixture includes at least stoichiometric levels of chlorine, introducing electromagnetic radiation to the reaction mixture and subjecting the reaction mixture to suitable reaction conditions to form product carbon tetrachloride, and collecting a product stream including the product carbon tetrachloride.

Photochlorination of partially-chlorinated chloromethanes to carbon tetrachloride

A process for the manufacture of 1,1,3,3-tetrachloropropene, the process comprising dehydrochlorinating 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane, where said step of dehydrochlorinating 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane takes place in the presence of an oxidizing agent and in the presence of a Lewis acid, and where the oxidizing agent is chlorine and the Lewis acid is ferric chloride.

Method for making 1,1,3,3-tetrachloropropene

A process for the manufacture of 1,1,3,3-tetrachloropropene, the process comprising dehydrochlorinating 1,1,1,3,3-pentachloropropane.

A process of the type for producing chlorinated propanes by reacting carbon tetrachloride with ethylene within a tank reactor that includes a liquid reaction mixture and a headspace above the reaction mixture wherein ethylene gas diffuses from the liquid reaction mixture into the headspace while agitating the reaction mixture, the improvement comprising transferring ethylene within the headspace back into the reaction mixture through a conduit within the mixing device that agitates the reaction mixture.

Methods for producing halogenated propanes

Methods for the manufacture of 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane from 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane and chlorine are disclosed. Improved methods are provided for the manufacture of 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene from 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane. Methods are also disclosed for the manufacture of 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene from 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane and chlorine and for the manufacture of 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene from carbon tetrachloride, ethylene, and chlorine.

Methods of making chlorinated hydrocarbons

Processes for isolating 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane from a crude product stream containing the 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane and ferric chloride. The processes may include deep distillation of the crude, treatment of the crude with a reagent that deactivates the ferric chloride followed by distillation on the deactivated crude stream, aqueous washing of the crude product stream to remove ferric chloride followed by distillation on the deactivated crude stream. Other embodiments simultaneously prepare 1,1,2,3-tetrachloroprene and 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloroprane.
