Abstract Apparatus for continuously preparing perchloromethyl mercaptan by chlorinating carbon disulphide by gaseous or liquid chlorine in a medium of aqueous solutions of inorganic acids containing hydrogen chloride, provides an upright reactor into which a liquid organic component and a liquid aqueously acidic component of the reaction mixture are introduced and from which the reaction mixture containing the arisen perchloromethyl mercaptan is withdrawn into a separation zone where it is separated to the aqueously acidic component and the organic component containing the arisen perchloromethyl mercaptan. After a minor portion of said components have been withdrawn from the reaction system, the remaining major portion of the aqueously acidic component is cooled, diluted by water and reintroduced back into the reaction zone while the remaining major portion of the organic component is, after being complemented with carbon disulphide, returned back into the reaction zone.
