Abstract
Methods and systems for the preparation of chlorohydrins are described herein. The methods and systems incorporate the novel use of a high shear device to promote dispersion and solubility of olefins into the chlorinating phase. The high shear device may allow for lower reaction temperatures and pressures and may also reduce chlorination time.
Claims20
A method of making chlorohydrin comprising:
- a) introducing a liquid stream into a high shear device, wherein said liquid stream comprises an aqueous phase comprising a chlorinating agent;
- b) introducing a gas stream into said high shear device, wherein said gas stream comprises an olefin gas;
- c) forming a dispersion in said high shear device comprising gas bubbles having an average diameter of less than about 1 μm;
- and
- d) producing a chlorohydrin.
