Abstract
A method of liberating or producing chlorine from hexachloroethane, the method comprising the steps of providing a body comprised of solid hexachloroethane and heating the body to a temperature sufficient to cause the solid hexachloroethane to produce hexachloroethane vapors. Thereafter, the hexachloroethane vapors are exposed to a heated surface and the hexachloroethane vapor decomposed utilizing heat from the heated surface to liberate chlorine from the hexachloroethane vapor.
Claims11
A method of liberating chlorine from hexachloroethane, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a body comprised of solid hexachloroethane;
- (b) heating said body to a temperature in the range of 300.degree. to 800.degree. F. to cause said solid hexachloroethane to produce hexachloroethane vapors;
- (c) exposing said hexachloroethane vapors to a solid heated surface;
- and
- (d) decomposing said hexachloroethane vapors by heating to a temperature in the range of 700.degree. to 3100.degree. F. utilizing heat from said solid heated surface to liberate chlorine from said hexachloroethane vapor.
A method of liberating chlorine from hexachloroethane, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a body comprised of solid hexachloroethane;
- (b) heating said body to a temperature in the range of 500.degree. to 600.degree. F. to cause said solid hexachloroethane to produce hexachloroethane vapors;
- thereafter
- (c) heating said hexachloroethane vapors to a temperature in the range of 600.degree. to 1200.degree. F. by using a solid heated surface;
- and
- (d) decomposing said hexachloroethane vapors and liberating chlorine from said hexachloroethane vapor.
A method of liberating chlorine from hexachloroethane, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a body comprised of solid hexachloroethane in a closed container;
- (b) heating said body to a temperature in the range of 300.degree. to 800.degree. F. to cause said solid hexachloroethane to produce hexachloroethane vapors;
- (c) transferring a portion of said hexachloroethane vapors from said closed container to a decomposition reactor;
- and
- (d) heating said portion of hexachloroethane vapors in said decomposition reactor to a temperature in the range of 700.degree. to 3100.degree. F. to decompose said hexachloroethane vapors to produce chlorine.
