Abstract
Abstract A dehydrochlorination process for the formation of 1,1dichlorethylene from 1,1,2-trichlorethane in which an aqueous emulsion of 1,1,2-trichlorethane and an alkaline earth metal hydroxide is made to which there is added an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide in stoichiometric amount, thereby forming 1,1-dichlorethylene, which is continuously removed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
15 words
The process of claim 1 in which the alkaline earth metal hydroxide is calcium hydroxide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
15 words
The process of claim 1 in which the alkaline earth metal hydroxide is magnesium hydroxide.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 1 in which the alkali metal hydroxide is sodium hydroxide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1 in which the alkaline earth metal hydroxide is calcium hydroxide and the alkali metal hydroxide is sodium hydroxide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1 in which the alkaline earth metal hydroxide is magnesium hydroxide and the alkali metal hydroxide is sodium hydroxide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
The process of claim 1 in which the 1,1-dichlorethylene is continuously removed by steam distillation as the dehydrochlorination proceeds.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the dehydrochlorination is carried out at a pressure greater than atmospheric.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
59 words
The process of claim 1 further characterized by the steps of withdrawing alkali metal chloride aqueous solution and alkaline earth metal hydroxide suspension, storing the withdrawn portion until the hydroxide settles to a stable layer, separating the aqueous solution from the concentrated suspension and then using the alkaline earth metal hydroxide to form additional aqueous emulsion in step A.
