    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing 4,4′-dichlorodiphenyl sulfoxide comprising: (I) reacting thionyl chloride, chlorobenzene and aluminum chloride in a molar ratio of thionyl chloride:chlorobenzene:aluminum chloride of 1:(6 to 9):(1 to 1.5) at a temperature in the range from 0 to below 20° C., forming an intermediate reaction product and hydrogen chloride; (II) mixing aqueous hydrochloric acid and the intermediate reaction product at a temperature in the range from 70 to 110° C. to obtain an organic phase comprising 4,4′-dichlorodiphenyl sulfoxide and an aqueous phase; (III) cooling the organic phase comprising the 4,4′-dichlorodiphenyl sulfoxide to a temperature below the saturation point of 4,4′-dichlorodiphenyl sulfoxide to obtain a suspension comprising crystallized 4,4′-dichlorodiphenyl sulfoxide; (IV) solid-liquid-separation of the suspension to obtain a residual moisture containing solid 4,4′-dichlorodiphenyl sulfoxide comprising crystallized 4,4′-dichlorodiphenyl sulfoxide and mother liquor.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for controlling and/or monitoring equipment (110) of a chemical plant is proposed. The method comprises the following steps: a) specifying at least one parameter of a production process to be optimized; b) receiving input data via at least one input channel (126), wherein the input data comprises operating conditions of the production process, physical properties of a plant equipment layout, and at least one predicted parameter determined from a physico-chemical white box model (128), wherein the physico-chemical white box model (128) comprises at least one thermodynamics model (130), at least one solid formation model (132) and a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) based numerical simulation (134) for predicting a precipitation process; c) optimizing the specified parameter via at least one processing device (138), wherein the specified parameter is optimized by adapting the operating conditions of the production process and/or the physical properties of the plant equipment layout based on the predicted parameter.
