Abstract
The invention relates to a process for the production of chloramine comprising supplying a first reagent stream comprising chlorine gas and a second reagent stream comprising ammonia gas to a reaction zone maintained at a temperature of less than 275° C. and configured to allow expansion of the first and second reagent streams in the reaction zone to an extent sufficient to generate chloramine as a gas and ammonium chloride as a free falling solid. The invention also provides a chemical reactor suitable fur operating this process.

A process for the production of chloramine comprising supplying a first reagent stream comprising chlorine gas and a second reagent stream comprising ammonia gas to a reaction zone maintained at a temperature of less than 275° C. and configured to allow expansion of the first and second reagent streams in the reaction zone to an extent sufficient to generate chloramine as a gas and ammonium chloride as a free falling solid.
A process for the production of chloramine comprising:
- providing chlorine gas and ammonia gas to a reaction zone maintained under conditions effective for chlorination of ammonia, and at a temperature of less than 275° C., the reaction zone having a laminar flow region for receiving the chlorine gas and the ammonia gas supplied thereto, whereby chloramine is produced.
A chemical reactor suitable for the production of chloramine, the reactor comprising:
- a reagent supply zone above a product recovery zone, and a reaction zone bounded by side walls or one continuous side wall extending between the reagent supply zone and the product recovery zone, the reagent supply zone comprising means for supplying, separately, chlorine reagent gas and ammonia reagent gas to the reaction zone, at least one of the supply means being configured to direct a reagent gas into a laminar flow region of the reaction zone.
