PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF GASES CONTAINING METHYL CHLORIDE

摘要

Gases containing methyl chloride are prepared from gases containing hydrogen chloride and from methanol by reacting them in an aqueous zinc chloride solution at elevated temperatures. The gas containing hydrogen chloride is a mixture of the following composition: CH3Cl + CH4 15 - 80 % by vol. N2 3 - 50 % by vol. HCl 10 - 25 % by vol. CCl3H + CCl4 0.1 - 5 % by vol. CH2Cl2 5 - 20 % by vol. Cl2 0 - 0.1% by vol.
