Abstract:
Device for injecting electromagnetic radiation into a reactor and a reactor comprising this device A device for injecting electromagnetic radiation into a reactor for carrying out free-radical gas-phase reactions and a reactor comprising such a device are described. This comprises the elements: a) a compartment which is separated from the reaction space of the reactor and is b) connected to the reaction space of the reactor via at least one opening, c) at least one feed line for introducing a flushing gas into the compartment, and also d) at least one source of electromagnetic radiation which is arranged so that e) the electromagnetic radiation passes through the compartment and the reaction space of the reactor adjoining the compartment. The device and reactor make an increase in the yield of free-radical chain reactions possible.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing high purity 1,2-dichloroethane using a liquid reaction medium that is circulated and that is essentially composed of 1,2-dichloroethane and a catalyst. At least ethylene and chlorine are added to the reaction medium and a mainly chlorine-containing gas flow is dissolved in a part of the reaction medium which is essentially devoid of dissolved ethylene. The gaseous components not dissolved in this solution are removed from the solution by means of a gas-separation device and the solution from which the undissolved gas components were removed is contacted with ethylene which is present in dissolved form.
Abstract:
By a process for removing fine dust from a fluidized-bed reactor, in particular for the oxychlorination of ethylene, is intended to permit specific control of the amount of fine dust particles in a reactor while reducing the height of the reactor and the same time filtering off the fine dust from the main stream leading to the quench. This is achieved if the fine dust inside, the reactor is removed via filter cartridges, and the reaction gas mixture is passed to the quench from the reactor dome, a part-stream in the form of a bypass stream having a predetermined fine dust fraction below a predetermined particle size being removed from the reactor in addition to the main stream.
Abstract:
In a process for the production of VCM, the gaseous reactants and an inert carrier gas are fed into an adiabatic reaction zone in the oxychlorination section, both reaction zones being associated with an integral fluidised bed, the cooled reaction zone containing a vertically coaxial hollow cooling rod bundle forming a passage. A balanced production of VCM is to be achieved, this being done by selecting a ratio of 1 to 6 inclusive between the equivalent diameter of the passage cross-sectional area and the mean gas bubble pocket diameter of the fluidised bed.
