Abstract: A process is described for the production of a suspension of cyanuric chloride in an aqueous liquid, more particularly, water. Molten cyanuric chloride is sprayed using a spray arrangement comprising a spray nozzle immersed in the aqueous liquid. Blockages in the nozzle during the critical start and stop phases are avoided by passing superheated steam through those parts of the spray arrangement which come into contact with the cyanuric chloride melt before and after the spraying process. A particularly reactive cyanuric chloride suspension is obtained by spraying a mixture of cyanuric chloride melt and superheated steam.

Abstract: Solid cyanuric chloride is supplied to the gas space of a cyanuric chloride melt with the help of a gas tight product stopper. Preferably there is used for this a screw conveyor in which the gas tight stopper is formed at the end of the screw conveyor; it is most favorable if the helix ends before the last section of the tube of the screw conveyor.

Abstract: To obtain a cyanogen chloride which is practically free from water and preferably also free from hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride and organic compounds, the crude cyanogen chloride is fractionally distilled. The return is led in countercurrent flow to the crude gas, thereby takes up the impurities and is further evaporated in the lower portion of the column, respectively in a special apparatus, by a liquid whose temperature is higher than the boiling temperature of cyanogen chloride. Thereby this liquid also takes up the impurities. The purification action is aided by a wash for the crude cyanogen chloride connected in series before it enters the fractionating column. It is very advantageous to combine the process with a plant for the production of cyanogen chloride.
