摘要 |
This invention provides a process for producing decabromodiphenyl oxide from a liquid mixture. The liquid mixture is derived from bromine, a Lewis acid catalyst, and a diphenyl oxide species selected from the group consisting of (i) diphenyl oxide, (ii) partially brominated diphenyl oxide, (iii) decabromodiphenyl oxide having about 0.5% or more nonabromodiphenyl oxide, and (iv) any combination of (i)-(iii). The process comprises distilling bromine and hydrogen bromide from the liquid mixture while feeding bromine to the liquid mixture. |
