| abstract |
The invention relates to a method for the production of high purity 1,2-dichloroethane from dissolved chlorine and dissolved ethylene, which are brought into contact with one another, using a circulating liquid reaction medium consisting essentially of 1,2-dichloroethane and a catalyst and at least passing through a vertically looped reaction zone, both hinges being connected to a gas separator at the top, from which the reaction product is withdrawn in gaseous or liquid form, and in gaseous form, and in liquid form, with several feed sections arranged in the knee of the loop through which the fluid flows up, and each of these feed sections consists of a feed unit of dissolved or gaseous ethylene located at the inlet of the section, and a feed unit of dissolved chlorine located at the outlet of the section , and may also have static mixing devices. |
