Abstract: Ferric chloride contained in liquid waste streams comprising higher boiling chlorinated hydrocarbons may be substantially reduced by contacting the waste stream with an amount of water sufficient to convert a substantial amount of the ferric chloride in said stream to solid ferric chloride hexahydrate, and then removing the solid hexahydrate from the waste stream for instance by filtration.

Abstract: Arylsulfonyl isocyanates are prepared by reaction of an arylsulfonylamine with thionyl chloride and chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride in the presence of a catalytic amount of a tertiary base. The isocyanates may be used as intermediates in the production of herbicides or pharmaceutically active compounds.
Abstract: Phosphoric acid containing organic contaminants, such as phosphoric acid recovered from a thiophenol process, is treated to recover usable acid by conducting a hot separation of the contaminated acid into acidic and organic phases, removing the organic phase, preheating the acidic phase, stripping the latter with steam and removing any remaining organic contaminants from the stripped acid.
Abstract: An improved process for the removal of acetylene from a hydrogen chloride stream in which the acetylene is converted to vinyl chloride by contact with a hydrochlorination catalyst, the improvement comprising, prior to contacting the stream with the hydrochlorination catalyst, contacting said stream with a catalyst comprising a noble metal, preferably of the platinum group, or salt or oxide thereof, supported or unsupported, at a temperature of between about 50.degree. and about 200.degree. C. and a pressure between about 8 and about 20 bar absolute.
