Depending upon the metallic compound used, different metallic phthalocyanine derivatives are obtained, e.g. when copper chloride is used copper phthalocyanine (Monastral Fast Blue B) is obtained.

The rate of this reaction is significantly enhanced over catalysts such as copper chloride which is the basis for the Deacon process for producing CI2 from HCl. The relationship between the equilibrium constant and the temperature in Kelvin for the reaction is expressed by equation 19. 

Another attractive commercial route to MEK is via direct oxidation of / -butenes (34—39) in a reaction analogous to the Wacker-Hoechst process for acetaldehyde production via ethylene oxidation. In the Wacker-Hoechst process the oxidation of olefins is conducted in an aqueous solution containing palladium and copper chlorides. However, unlike acetaldehyde production, / -butene oxidation has not proved commercially successflil because chlorinated butanones and butyraldehyde by-products form which both reduce yields and compHcate product purification, and also because titanium-lined equipment is required to withstand chloride corrosion. 

Benzene Oxychlorin tion. In the benzene oxychlorination process, also known as the Raschig Hooker process, benzene is oxychlorinated with hydrogen chloride, air, and with the presence of iron and copper chloride catalyst to form chlorobenzene. The reaction occurs at 200—260°C and atmospheric pressure. The chlorobenzene is hydrolyzed at 480°C in the presence of a suitable catalyst to produce phenol and chloride. The yield of phenol is - 90 mol% of theoretical. These plants have been shut down for environmental and economic reasons. 

Aromatic amines form addition compounds and complexes with many inorganic substances, such as ziac chloride, copper chloride, uranium tetrachloride, or boron trifluoride. Various metals react with the amino group to form metal anilides and hydrochloric, sulfuric, or phosphoric acid salts of aniline are important intermediates in the dye industry. 

In a biotechnology-based approach, Japanese workers have reported on the microbial conversion of 2-methylnaphthalene to both 2-methyl-1-naphthol and menadione by Jiodococcus (64). The intermediate 2-methyl-1-naphthol can readily be converted to menadione by a variety of oxidizing agents such as heteropoly acids (65) and copper chloride (66). A review of reagents for oxidizing 2-methylnaphthalene and naphthol is available (67). 

Dimethyl carbonate [616-38-6] and dimethyl oxalate [553-90-2] are both obtained from carbon monoxide, oxygen, and methanol at 363 K and 10 MPa (100 atm) or less. The choice of catalyst is critical cuprous chloride (66) gives the carbonate (eq. 20) a palladium chloride—copper chloride mixture (67,68) gives the oxalate, (eq. 21). Anhydrous conditions should be maintained by removing product water to minimize the formation of by-product carbon dioxide. 

Oxychlorination catalysts are prepared by impregnation methods, though the solutions are very corrosive and special attention must be paid to the materials of constmction. Potassium chloride is used as a catalyst component to increase catalyst life by reducing losses of copper chloride by volatilisation. The catalysts used in fixed-bed reactors are typically 5 mm diameter rings or spheres, whereas a 20—100 micrometer powder is used in fluid-bed operations. 

Significant quantities of ethyl chloride are also produced as a by-product of the catalytic hydrochlorination over a copper chloride catalyst, of ethylene and hydrogen chloride to produce 1,2-dichloroethane, which is used as feedstock in the manufacture of vinyl choride (see Vinyl polymers). This ethyl chloride can be recovered for sale or it can be concentrated and catalyticaHy cracked back to ethylene and hydrogen chloride (25). As the market for ethyl chloride declines, recovery as an intermediate by-product of vinyl chloride manufacture may become a predominant method of manufacture of ethyl chloride. 

Oxychl orin ation of ethylene has become the second important process for 1,2-dichloroethane. The process is usually incorporated into an integrated vinyl chloride plant in which hydrogen chloride, recovered from the dehydrochlorination or cracking of 1,2-dichloroethane to vinyl chloride, is recycled to an oxychl orin a tion unit. The hydrogen chloride by-product is used as the chlorine source in the chlorination of ethylene in the presence of oxygen and copper chloride catalyst ... 

Hexachloroethane is formed in minor amounts in many industrial chlorination processes designed to produce lower chlorinated hydrocarbons, usually via a sequential chlorination step. Chlorination of tetrachloroethylene, in the presence of ferric chloride, at 100—140°C is one convenient method of preparing hexachloroethane (142). Oxychlorination of tetrachloroethylene, using a copper chloride catalyst (143) has also been used. Photochemical chlorination of tetrachloroethylene under pressure and below 60°C has been studied (144) and patented as a method of producing hexachloroethane (145), as has recovery of hexachloroethane from a mixture of other perchlorinated hydrocarbon derivatives via crystalH2ation in carbon tetrachloride. Chlorination of hexachlorobutadiene has also been used to produce hexachloroethane (146). 

Simultaneous deposition of cadmium chloride and copper chloride by vacuum evaporation onto fused siUca or optical glass resulted in photochromic thin films (14). The thickness ranged from 0.25 to 1.3 pm. 

Electroless Copper. Electroless copper, iatroduced ia the mid-1950s (41,43), is available commercially ia great variety. Eormaldehyde is usually the reduciag agent, copper sulfate (occasionally copper nitrate or copper chloride) is the metal salt, and sodium hydroxide is used to control pH. 

Alkyl chlorides. Olefins are chlorinated to alkyl chlorides in a single fluidized bed. HCl reacts with O9 over a copper chloride catalyst to form chlorine. The chlorine reacts with the olefin to form the alkyl chloride. The process developed by the Shell Development Co. uses a recycle of cat yst fines in aqueous HCl to control the temperature [Chem. Proc., 16, 42 (1953)]. 

Calcium carbonate has normal pH and inverse temperature solubilities. Hence, such deposits readily form as pH and water temperature rise. Copper carbonate can form beneath deposit accumulations, producing a friable bluish-white corrosion product (Fig. 4.17). Beneath the carbonate, sparkling, ruby-red cuprous oxide crystals will often be found on copper alloys (Fig. 4.18). The cuprous oxide is friable, as these crystals are small and do not readily cling to one another or other surfaces (Fig. 4.19). If chloride concentrations are high, a white copper chloride corrosion product may be present beneath the cuprous oxide layer. However, experience shows that copper chloride accumulation is usually slight relative to other corrosion product masses in most natural waters.

Couper reports cracking of an Fe-36 Ni alloy in 10-55 days in this medium. Radd eta . have noted cracking of Fe-36 Ni alloys at ambient temperatures in an unspecified environment, but this possibly may have been residual traces of acid copper chloride etching solution. 

These materials are essentially combustion improvers and tend to have fairly simple formulations (e.g., 3% copper chloride, 7% manganese chloride, 90% ammonium chloride). They are designed to change the crystalline structure within the clinker crystal lattice and raise the clinker eutectic point, thus minimizing the formation of noncombustible clinker, residual ash, and other deposits. Feed rates are approxiimately 0.5 to 2.0 lb per bone-dry ton.
