Abstract: A process for producing chlorobenzene sulfochloride comprises adding a reaction mixture of chlorobenzene and chlorosulfonic acid to water or diluted sulfuric acid to decompose excess chlorosulfonic acid; driving off hydrogen chloride thereby generated, from the system; bringing the sulfuric acid concentration in the sulfuric acid layer upon completion of the decomposition to be from 60 to 90%; and then separating chlorobenzene sulfochloride. The process is characterized in that the excess chlorosulfonic acid is decomposed at a temperature of from 40.degree. to 85.degree. C. and the chlorobenzene sulfochloride is separated in a liquid state at a temperature of from 60.degree. to 80.degree. C.

Abstract: A process for producing a silver coated copper powder, characterized in that a metal silver is precipitated on the surface of a metal copper powder by means of a silver complex solution comprising a silver salt, an ammonium carbonate compound and ammonia water as essential components.
