Halogenation of organic compounds over a narrow temperature range

Claim 2

IN A PROCESS FOR HALOGENATING A VAPORIZABLE ORGANIC COMPOUND SELECTED FORM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF SATURATED, UNSATURATED AND HALOGENAED HYDROCARVONS CONTAINING UP TO 16 CARBON ATOMS WITHIN A NARROW TEMPERATURE RANGE INTERMEDIATE 300E C.AND 700* C.WHEREIN HALOGEN SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF CHLORINE AND BROMINE AND THE ORGANIC REACTANTS ARE SEPARATELY INTRODUCED IN THE VAPOROUS STATE INTO A REACTION CHAMBER WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY WITHDRAWING A HEATED VAPOROUS EFFLUENT COMPOSED OF REACTANTS AND VARIOUS PRODUCT GASES FROM SAID CHAMBER THE STEPS WHICH COMPRISE FEEDING THE HALOGEN IN A STREAM THROUGH A JET NOZZLE AT SPEEDS GREATER THAN ABOUT 500 FEED PER SECOND INTO A VENTURI THROAT AND UTILIZING THE VENTURI ACTION OF SAID HALOGEN STREAM TO ASPIRATE THE ORGANIC RECTANT AND PRODUCT GASES THROUGH SAID VENTURI WHERE THE ORGANIC REACTANT IS CONTACTED AND REACTED WITH THE HALOGEN.

Claim 3

APPARATUS FOR REACTING CHLORINE WITH PROPYLENE INE THE VAPOROUS PHASE AND AT TEMPERATURES OF 350* C. TO 500* C. COMPRISING A CYLINDRICAL REACTION CHAMBER HAVING A TOP AND BOTTOM THERETO, A JET NOZZLE MOUNTED WITHIN THE TOP OF SAID CHAMBER FOR INGRESS OF A CHLORINE STREAM AT SONIC SPEEDS, SAID NOZZLE AXIALLY ALIGNED WITH SAID CYLINDRICAL CHAMBER, A VENTURI THROAT MOUNTED ON SAID NOZZLE AND IN AXIAL ALIGNMENT THERWITH AND WHEREIN THE INTERNAL DIAMETER OF THE VENTURI THROAT IS FROM 8 TO 12 TIMES THE INTERNAL DIAMETER OF THE JET NOZZLE, SAID VENTURI THROAT HAVING OPENINGS INTO SAID REACTION CHAMBER AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF SAID THROAT, A FIRST CONDUIT MOUNTED ON THE SIDE OF SAID RECTOR FOR INGRESS OF PROPYLENE, SAID FIRST CONDUIT ALIGNED TO DIRECT THE PROPYLENE TANGENTIALLY TO THE SURFACE OF THE REACTOR AND AT ABOUT THE LEVEL OF THE VENTURI THROAT, AND FINALLY SAID REACTOR HAVING A SECOND CONDUIT AT THE BOTTOM PART THEREOF FOR EGRESS OF REACTION PRODUCTS.

Claim 4

APPARATUS FOR REACTING CHLORINE WITH PROPYLENE INE THE VAPOROUS PHASE AND AT TEMPERATURES OF 350* C. TO 500* C. COMPRISING A CYLINDRICAL REACTION CHAMBER HAVING A TOP AND BOTTOM THERETO, A JET NOZZLE MOUNTED WITHIN THE TOP OF SAID CHAMBER FOR INGRESS OF A CHLORINE STREAM AT SONIC SPEEDS, SAID NOZZLE AXIALLY ALIGNED WITH SAID CYLINDRICAL CHAMBER, A VENTURI THROAT MOUNTED ON SAID NOZZLE AND IN AXIAL ALIGNMENT THERWITH AND WHEREIN THE INTERNAL DIAMETER OF THE VENTURI THROAT IS FROM 8 TO 12 TIMES THE INTERNAL DIAMETER OF THE JET NOZZLE, SAID VENTURI THROAT HAVING OPENINGS INTO SAID REACTION CHAMBER AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF SAID THROAT, A FIRST CONDUIT MOUNTED ON THE SIDE OF SAID RECTOR FOR INGRESS OF PROPYLENE, SAID FIRST CONDUIT ALIGNED TO DIRECT THE PROPYLENE TANGENTIALLY TO THE SURFACE OF THE REACTOR AND AT ABOUT THE LEVEL OF THE VENTURI THROAT, AND FINALLY SAID REACTOR HAVING A SECOND CONDUIT AT THE BOTTOM PART THEREOF FOR EGRESS OF REACTION PRODUCTS.
