Halogenation Of Hydrocarbons

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a process for the halogenation of hydrocarbon. In accordance with the process of the present disclosure a hydrocarbon and a halogen is introduced in a reaction vessel. Light having wavelength in the range of 390 to 780 nm is then passed into the reaction vessel for a time period of 2 to 12 hrs. to obtain a halogenated hydrocarbon. The hydrocarbon is agitated before or after the introduction of the halogen in to the reaction vessel.

1. A process for halogenation of a hydrocarbon; said process comprising the following steps:
i. introducing the hydrocarbon in a reaction vessel in the form of a slurry or a solution ; ii. introducing a halogen in the reaction vessel; and iii. passing light of wavelength in the range of 390 to780 nm emitted by a plurality of solid state light emitting devices, into the reaction vessel for a predetermined time period to obtain a halogenated hydrocarbon, wherein, the hydrocarbon is agitated before or after the method step of introducing the halogen in to the reaction vessel; and wherein, said process is carried out in an inert atmosphere.
