Abstract: Methods and systems for producing high purity gaseous chlorine dioxide are provided. A solid chlorite reactant is contacted with an ozone-containing reactant gas, or a gas containing both ozone and a component that reacts with any hydroxide byproduct (such as carbon dioxide), to produce chlorine dioxide. The reaction can be monitored and controlled to ensure that excess chlorite reactant is provided and to prevent ozone from passing into the product gas.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing trichlorosilane includes a conversion reaction process (first reaction process) for producing a first reaction product gas, which contains trichlorosilane, dichlorosilylene, hydrogen chloride, and high-order silane compounds, by performing a conversion reaction of silicon tetrachloride and hydrogen, which are raw materials, in a first temperature range that is equal to or higher than 1000° C. and equal to or lower than 1900° C.; a first cooling process for cooling the first reaction product gas to a temperature of 950° C. or lower within 1 sec (except that the first reaction product gas is cooled to a temperature lower than 600° C. within 0.01 sec); a second reaction process for maintaining the temperature of the first reaction product gas in a second temperature range, which is equal to or higher than 600° C. and equal to or lower than 950° C., during the time that is equal to or more than 0.
Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of chlorine dioxide comprising forming chlorine dioxide in a reaction medium in a reaction vessel and withdrawing chlorine dioxide as a gas from the reaction medium in the reaction vessel, the process further comprising adding chlorine dioxide to at least one raw material used in the process. The invention further relates to the use of chlorine dioxide for the reduction of the amount of chlorinated aromatic compounds occurring in a process for the production of chlorine dioxide.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for preparation of polychlorosilanes from monomeric chlorosilanes, by subjecting the chlorosilanes to a thermal plasma.
Abstract: Processes for extracting iodine from an aqueous solution, such as brine, are disclosed. Activated coconut carbon particles are mixed with the solution to adsorb iodide through pores in the activated carbon particles. The activated carbon particles are then treated with sulfur dioxide gas and water to form hydrogen iodide. The hydrogen iodide is then reacted with chloride to obtain elemental iodine (I2).

Abstract: A process produces salt by way of strong brine concentration after sea water desalination by using a two-way circulation method and bromine extraction. The process includes the following steps: A, preparing fresh water and strong brine from sea water in a high-pressure reverse osmosis unit by using a reverse osmosis method, wherein the concentration of the prepared strong brine is 70000 to 80000 PPM; and B, performing fresh and concentrated separation on the strong brine with the concentration of 70000 to 80000 PPM in a two-way circulation manner by using a concentration difference method till the strong brine is crystallized.

Abstract: A method for obtaining high-purity phosphorus pentafluoride (PF5), which is industrially useful in the fields of semiconductors and batteries, from PF5 containing a gas mixture of HCl, HF, and so on. Specifically, provided is a process for purifying phosphorus pentafluoride including (1) an immobilization step in which phosphorus pentafluoride containing a mixture is brought into contact with a metal fluoride (MFn; M is an n-valent metal) having a specific surface area of 1.0 m2/g or more at 40° to 150° C. to immobilize phosphorus pentafluoride in the form of a hexafluorophosphate (M(PF6)n), (2) a separation step in which the mixture remaining in the gas phase is expelled out of the reaction system to separate the mixture from the hexafluorophosphate, and (3) a heat-decomposition step in which the hexafluorophosphate freed of the mixture is heated at 150° to 400° C. under a pressure of ?0.1 to 0.1 MPa·G to give phosphorus pentafluoride.
Abstract: A method for processing of expired solid rocket propellant containing ammonium perchlorate, powdered aluminum, and a rubber-based binder for the purpose of recycling ammonium perchlorate, the method comprising: a) wet disintegration of solid propellant in a solution to produce a suspension of solid substances; b) leaching of the suspension of solid substances at an increased temperature in a leaching solution to produce an ammonium perchlorate solution, the leaching solution including at least one of water and unsaturated ammonium perchlorate and containing added inert material based on at least one of porous carbon, diatomaceous earth and a polymer; c) wherein the use of the inert material during the leaching process increases de-agglomeration and decreases re-agglomeration of solid substances of the suspension of solid substances; d) separation of the ammonium perchlorate solution from the suspension of solid substances, the separated ammonium perchlorate solution also containing at least some of the inert
