  • Process for chlorinating C.sub.8 to C.sub.30 linear hydrocarbons
    Patent number: 4052471
    Abstract: An improved process for chlorinating substantially linear, liquid C.sub.8 to C.sub.30 hydrocarbons by intimately mixing the hydrocarbons and water in a weight ratio of 0.09:1 to 10:1, feeding the mixture of hydrocarbon and water to a reactor, adding 2 to 20 moles of chlorine per mole of hydrocarbon to the mixture in countercurrent flow to the mixture at a rate of 20 to 600 grams per hour per kilogram of hydrocarbon at 50.degree. to 150.degree. C for .5 to 10 hours and recovering chlorinated hydrocarbons.
