A process is provided for the recovery of hydrogen chloride in anhydrous form from a dry (containing less than about 500 parts per million by weight of water) mixture of hydrogen chloride with one or more non-condensable gases and which may also contain components heavier than hydrogen chloride, which process comprises distilling the mixture to produce an overheads stream containing the non-condensable gases and about 95 percent or more by weight of the hydrogen chloride in the mixture and a bottoms stream containing about 95 percent or greater by weight of all components heavier than hydrogen chloride, and compressing and refrigerating the overheads stream whereby a selected proportion of the hydrogen chloride in the overheads stream is produced in a liquid anhydrous form containing less than about 50 parts per million by weight of water.

Process for recovery of anhydrous hydrogen chloride from mixtures with

A saturation process for essentially completely saturating unsaturated halogenated hydrocarbonaceous materials in a feedstock containing such unsaturated materials, employing a first recycle reactor for accomplishing the bulk of the saturation and a second, single pass, plug flow-type polishing reactor in combination.
