METHOD OF PROCESSING CARBON TETRACHLORIDE INTO METHYL CHLORIDE

摘要

FIELD: industrial organic synthesis. ^ SUBSTANCE: process involves interaction of carbon tetrachloride with methanol in gas phase at elevated temperature in fixed-bed reactor accommodating two heterogeneous contact beds with different active ingredient concentrations, said active ingredient being zinc chloride deposited on solid carrier. Process can be carried out in presence of hydrogen chloride and/or water additives. ^ EFFECT: increased specific output of the process and lifetime of catalyst. ^ 1 dwg, 3 tbl, 7 ex
