Abstract:
Pure cyanogen chloride free of water and cyanuric chloride is prepared by reacting gaseous hydrocyanic acid and chlorine gas in the presence of an active carbon catalyst at temperatures of from 500*C to 700*C to form cyanogen chloride and hydrogen chloride and thereafter recovering the pure cyanogen chloride. The active carbon has a specific surface of from about 800 to 1,100 m2/g and the residence time of the reaction gas is between about 0.02 and 2.0 seconds.
Abstract:
Purification of hydrocyanic acid such as obtained from ammoxidation by reacting the crude product containing aliphatic and/or isocyclic unsaturated hydrocarbons and/or heterocyclic compounds with a hydrohalic acid or an oxyacid of sulfur or phosphorus, preferably in concentrated form, and thereafter separating the reaction products from the hydrocyanic acid, such as by distillation or adsorption, and recovering substantially pure hydrocyanic acid.
Abstract:
CYANOPYRIDINES ARE PREPARED BY THE VAPOR PHASE REACTION OF AN ALKYL PYRIDINE, OXYGEN AND AMMONIA IN THE PRESENCE OF A TIN PHOSPHATE CATALYST ACTIVATED WITH COMPOUND OF MOLYBDENUM, BISMUTH, VANADIUM, IRON OR COBALT.
