Chlorination propane

Table 1 lA presents tabulations of the safety of important refrigerants, but this list does not include aU available refrigerants. Table 11-5 summarizes a limited list of comparative hazards to life of refrigerant gas and vapor. The current more applicable refrigerants from the m or manufacturers of the CFC and HCFC refrigerants and their azeotropes/ blends/mrxtures are included, but the list excludes the pure hydrocarbons such as propane, chlorinated hydrocarbons such as methyl chloride and others, inorganics, ammonia, carbon dioxide, etc. See Table 11-6. The CFC compounds have a longer and more serious ozone depletion potential than the HCFC compounds, because these decompose at a much lower atmospheric level and have relatively short atmospheric lifetimes therefore, they do less damage to the ozone layer. Table 11-7 summarizes alternate refrigerants of the same classes as discussed previously. Table 11-8 correlates DuPont s SUVA refrigerant numbers to the corresponding ASHRAE numbers.

The 3D finite volume code ADREA-HF was developed for the computation of the atmospheric dispersion of heavy gas clouds in complex terrain. It contains a one-equation turbulence submodel taking account of two-phase processes [3]. The code has been applied to ammonia, propane, chlorine, and also buoyant releases. It has recently been tested against the BAM hydrogen release experiments. The calculational results for one of the trials are given in Fig. 8-8 showing the hydrogen dispersion near buildings [111].

Protons are equivalent to one another and have the same chemical shift when they are m equivalent environments Often it is an easy matter to decide simply by mspec tion when protons are equivalent or not In more difficult cases mentally replacing a proton m a molecule by a test group can help We 11 illustrate the procedure for a sim pie case—the protons of propane To see if they have the same chemical shift replace one of the methyl protons at C 1 by chlorine then do the same thing for a proton at C 3 Both replacements give the same molecule 1 chloropropane Therefore the methyl protons at C 1 are equivalent to those at C 3... 

Disposal. Moderate amounts of chlorine ttifluoride or other halogen fluorides may be destroyed by burning with a fuel such as natural gas, hydrogen, or propane. The resulting fumes may be vented to water or caustic scmbbers. Alternatively, they can be diluted with an inert gas and scmbbed in a caustic solution. Further information on disposal of halogen fluorides is available (115—118). 

Carbonyl sulfide reacts with chlorine forming phosgene (qv) and sulfur dichloride [10545-99-0] and with ammonia forming urea and ammonium sulfide [12135-76-1]. Carbonyl sulfide attacks metals, eg, copper, ia the presence of moisture and is thought to be iavolved ia atmospheric sulfur corrosion (27,28). Its presence ia propane gas at levels above a few ppm may cause the gas to fail the copper-corrosion test. 

The feed streams should be reasonably pure to limit yield losses and protect the purity of the final products. Typically, polymer-grade propylene with 99.5% purity is employed propane impurity can react to undesirable 1-chloropropane (bp 46.6°C), which is very difficult to separate from aHyl chloride (bp 45°C). Both propylene and chlorine should be dry to prevent corrosion in downstream equipment where mixtures with HCl occur. 

Reaction of 1-ethoxycyclohexene (34) with dichlorocarbene gives 1-ethoxy-7,7-dichloronorcarane (35) in 87 % yield. Rearrangement of dichlorocyclo-propane (35) in hot quinoline results in loss of both chlorine atoms to give l-ethoxycyclohepta-l,3,5-triene (37) in 37% yield. Hydrolysis of enol ether (37) with a very small quantity of hydrochloric acid in methanol produces cyclohepta-3,5-dienone (38) in 91 % yield. ... 

Branching in PVC has been suggested as a possible source of instability for a long time. 2-methyl-2-chloro-propane and 3-ethyl-3-chloropentane are much less stable than the corresponding secondary chlorine compounds [31]. Comparison of 3-chloro-3-ethylpentane with 3-chloro-4-ethylhexane showed that the latter was by far the most stable [32]. Macromodels containing ter-... 

Chlorination of propane with chlorine at 480-640°C yields a mixture of perchloroethylene (Perchlor) and carhon tetrachloride ... 

Perchloro- and trichloroethylene may also be produced from chlorination of propane (Chapter 6). 

When propane is treated with chlorine gas, a mixture of compounds results. The mixture is separated and analysis of one of the components gives the H NMR spectrum shown here. What is this product ... 

In the case of malonic acid, CH2(COOH)2 propane, CH2Me2 or any other molecule of the form CH2Y2, if we replace either of the CH2 hydrogens by a group Z, the identical compound results. The two hydrogens are thus equivalent. Equivalent atoms and groups need not, of course, be located on the same carbon atom. For example, all the chlorine atoms of hexachlorobenzene are equivalent as are the two bromine atoms of 1,3-dibromopropane.

Solvent-assisted decaffeination of coffee can result in residues of solvent reaching the consumer.208 The use of chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents such as chloroform,209 methylene chloride, trichloroethylene,208 and difluoromonochloromethane (Freon),210 will probably be replaced by compounds already found in roasted coffee. The use of an ethyl acetate and 2-butanone mixture leaves a 26-ppm residue in green coffee, but zero residue in roasted coffee.211 Other solvent compounds used or suggested for coffee improvement or decaffeination include propane, butane,212 carbon dioxide,213 214 acetone215 dimethyl succinate,2161,1-dimethoxymethane, and 1,1-dimethoxyethane.217 Of all these, supercritical carbon dioxide, ethyl acetate, and methylene chloride are the solvents most used currently in decaffeination processes. 

Stream 4. At 245 K, chlorine, ammonia, propylene and propane could all be chosen. In principle, ethane and ethylene could also have been included but at 245 K they are too close to their critical temperature and would require significantly higher refrigeration power than the other options. The safety problems associated with chlorine are likely to be greater than ammonia. Thus, ammonia might be a suitable choice of refrigerant. Choosing a component already in the process would be desirable.

List all obvious hazards. Most processes include a number of hazards that are already fully recognized, such as the flammability of propane or the inhalation toxicity of chlorine. 

Synthetic organic chemists have simplified many processes, using catalysts to make useful chemicals in one step from basic raw materials such as propane. The gigantic paper and pulp industry has devised many new bleaching processes to replace traditional chlorine bleaching. 

Hass-McBee A thermal, vapor-phase process for chlorinating aliphatic hydrocarbons. The chlorine and the hydrocarbon vapor are separately heated to >250°C and then mixed. Propane is thus converted to 1, 3-dichloropropane. Invented in 1934 by H. B. Hass and E. T. McBee at Purdue University. 

Van der Waals forces between I2 molecules are stronger than those between Cl2 molecules because clearly, iodine has bigger molecules than chlorine. Propane (C3H8) is bigger than methane (CH4), so the van der Waals forces between C3H8 molecules are stronger than those between CH4 molecules.
