Abstract
Abstract Process for the production of aluminum trichloride from aluminium trichloride vapour which essentially comprises contacting in a sublimate precipitator the hot stream of aluminium trichloride vapour or a hot stream of aluminium trichloride vapour mixed with other gases with a cold stream of an inert gas under conditions that lead to solidification of aluminium trichloride and recovering the solidified aluminum trichloride from the gaseous products. In this process finely powdered aluminium trichloride having a uniform particle size is obtained.

Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FINELY POWDERED ALUMINUM TRICHLORIDE OF UNIFORM PARTICLE SIZE OF AT MOST ABOUT 1 MICRON AND HAVING A BULK DENSITY OF 0.35 TO 0.55 KG/DM3 FROM ALUMINUM TRICHLORIDE VAPOUR, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT A. A GAS STREAM COMPRISING ALUMINUM TRICHLORIDE VAPOUR WITH A VELOXITY OF AT LEAST 0.5 M/SEC, AND B. A COLD STREAM OF INERT GAS WITH A VELOCITY OF AT LEAST 2 M/SEC ARE INTRODUCED INTO A SUBLIMATE PRECIPITOR, THE RATIO OF THE ENTRY FLOW VELOCITIES OF GAS STREAM COMPRISING ALUMINUM TRICHLORIDE VAPOR: INERT GAS BEING IN THE RANGE BETWEEN 1:2 AND 1:10, THE TWO GAS STREAMS MEETING AT AN ANGLE OF 20* TO 50*, AND THE TEMPERATURE OF THE COMBINED GAS MIXTURE IS KEPT AT 30* TO 70*C TO PRODUCE SAID FINELY POWDERED ALUMINUM TRICHLORIDE AND THE SAID SOLID ALUMINUM TRICHLORIDE FORMED IS SEPARATED FROM THE GASEOUS PRODUCTS.
