Abstract
Abstract Process of oxidizing halides, including mixtures thereof, with oxygen, oxygen-containing gases and/or oxygen-liberating substances in a combustion chamber, whereby the vapor pressure of the halides at introduction to the combustion or oxidation chamber is greater than the pressure within the combustion chamber. Recovery of halides at greater purity with substantial decrease of by-product deposits on operating equipment is realized.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
103 words
In a process for the oxidation of halides or mixtures thereof with oxygen or oxygen-containing gases in an oxidation chamber, the improvement wherein solid or liquid halides are supplied to the oxidation chamber through an inlet nozzle, the temperature at which said solid or liquid halides are supplied to the oxidation chamber and/or the pressure in the oxidation chamber being selected so that the vapor pressure of the halides supplied is greater than the pressure in the oxidation chamber, up to or substantially to the critical temperature of said halides to thereby prevent any substantial crust formation at or on the inlet nozzle.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
103 words
In a process for the oxidation of halides or mixtures thereof with oxygen or oxygen-containing gases in an oxidation chamber, the improvement wherein solid or liquid halides are supplied to the oxidation chamber through an inlet nozzle, the temperature at which said solid or liquid halides are supplied to the oxidation chamber and/or the pressure in the oxidation chamber being selected so that the vapor pressure of the halides supplied is greater than the pressure in the oxidation chamber, up to or substantially to the critical temperature of said halides to thereby prevent any substantial crust formation at or on the inlet nozzle.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
Process according to claim 1, including the further improvement whereby small quantities of halogens other than those in the halides to be oxidized are added to the reaction system.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
Process according to claim 1, including the further improvement whereby the reaction mixture is conducted through one or more cooled chambers.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
Process according to claim 1, including the further improvement whereby the reaction mixture is conducted through at least one conically widening chamber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
20 words
Process according to claim 1, including the further improvement whereby the reaction mixture within the oxidation chamber is in rotation.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
70 words
Process according to claim 1, including the further improvement whereby the chemical conversion is improved in that oxidation reactions resulting in an increase in volume are carried out at a pressure which is less than 1 atm and reactions which result in a decrease in volume are carried out at a pressure which is greater than 1 atm up to, or substantially to the critical temperature of the halides supplied.
