  • Minimizing heavy ends production in the manufacture of perchloroethylene from hydrocarbons or partially chlorinated hydrocarbons
    Patent number: 5426256
    Abstract: Perchloroethylene and hydrogen chloride are made by thermal noncatalytic chlorination of hydrocarbons and/or their partially chlorinated derivatives using carbon tetrachloride as a reactive diluent under conditions which maximize consumption of carbon tetrachloride and minimize the production of heavy ends, such as hexachlorobenzene and other tarry products.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 1, 1994
    Date of Patent: June 20, 1995
    Assignee: Vulcan Materials Company
    Inventor: Jimmie T. Petrosky
  • Manufacture of perchloroethylene by chlorinating hydrocarbons and partially chlorinated hydrocarbons in the presence of hydrogen
    Patent number: 5399797
    Abstract: Perchloroethylene and hydrogen chloride are made by noncatalytic thermal chlorination of hydrocarbons and/or their partially chlorinated derivatives by reacting them with chlorine in the presence of hydrogen and carbon tetrachloride as a reactive diluent, under conditions which maximize consumption of carbon tetrachloride and minimize the production of heavy ends, such as hexachlorobenzene and other tarry products.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 22, 1994
    Date of Patent: March 21, 1995
    Assignee: Vulcan Materials Company
    Inventors: Jimmie T. Petrosky, Steven R. Hieger, Evert E. Gannaway, Charles R. Cupit
  • Manufacture of perchloroethylene from carbon tetrachloride in the presence of hydrogen
    Patent number: 5315050
    Abstract: Perchloroethylene and hydrogen chloride are made by thermal noncatalytic pyrolysis of carbon tetrachloride in the presence of elemental hydrogen and chlorine under conditions which maximize consumption of carbon tetrachloride while minimizing the production of heavy ends.
