Abstract
An improved method for reacting a gas with a liquid medium and an improved reactor therefore is described. In this method, gas is fed to the liquid medium in an agitated reactor through a plurality of sparger means which are positioned in the horizontal cross sectional area of the reactor between the reactor perimeter and the central agitator vortex. In addition, the gas spargers are located in separate segments of the cross sectional area. The improved method and reactor are particularly suitable in glass lined reactors which are employed in the preparation of halogenated isocyanurates such as trichloroisocyanuric acid by the chlorination of an aqueous solution of monosodium cyanurate and hypochlorous acid.
Claims8
A method for reacting gaseous halogen with a liquid medium comprised of an aqueous solution selected from the group consisting of an aqueous solution of a mixture of isocyanuric acid and sodium hydroxide and an aqueous solution of a mixture of sodium cyanurate and hypochlorous acid to form a halogenated isocyanuric acid reaction product in an agitated reaction zone having a perimeter and a horizontal cross sectional area divided into a plurality of segments which comprises contacting said gaseous halogen with said liquid medium in said reaction zone through a plurality of feed locations, each of said feed locations being positioned in a different segment and located substantially equidistant from said perimeter.
