PROCESS FOR PRODUCING A CHLORHYDRIN FROM A MULTIHYDROXILATED ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBON AND/OR ESTER THEREOF IN THE PRESENCE OF METAL SALTS

摘要

Process for producing a chlorohydrin by reaction between a multihydroxylated-aliphatic hydrocarbon, an ester of a multihydroxylated-aliphatic hydrocarbon, or a mixture thereof, and a chlorinating agent, according to which the multihydroxylated-aliphatic hydrocarbon, the ester of a multihydroxylated-aliphatic hydrocarbon, or the mixture thereof used contains at least one solid or dissolved metal salt, the process comprising a separation operation to remove at least part of the metal salt.
