Abstract
Methods and systems for the preparation of chlorohydrins are described herein. The method includes introducing a liquid stream into a high shear device, wherein the liquid stream has an aqueous phase; introducing a gas stream into the high shear device, wherein the gas stream has an olefin gas; forming a dispersion in the high shear device, the dispersion comprising gas bubbles dispersed in the liquid stream; and reacting at least a portion of the dispersion to produce chlorohydrin.
Claims20
A method of making chlorohydrin comprising:
- introducing a liquid stream into a high shear device, wherein the liquid stream comprises an aqueous phase;
- introducing a gas stream into the high shear device, wherein the gas stream comprises an olefin gas;
- forming a dispersion in the high shear device, the dispersion comprising gas bubbles dispersed in the liquid stream;
- and
- reacting at least a portion of the dispersion to produce chlorohydrin.
A system for production of chlorohydrin comprising;
- a high shear device configured to form a dispersion of olefin gas bubbles in a liquid phase comprising and a chlorinating agent, wherein the high shear device is configured with a rotor and a stator separated by a shear gap in the range of from about 0.02 mm to about 5 mm;
- and
- a vessel configured for receiving the dispersion from the high shear device, and for maintaining a predetermined pressure and temperature.
A method of making a chlorohydrin, the method comprising:
- contacting an olefin gas with a chlorinating agent in an aqueous phase, resulting in a gas-liquid stream;
- flowing the gas-liquid stream through a high shear device to form a dispersion;
- and
- reacting at least a portion of the dispersion to form the chlorohydrin.
