Abstract

High-purity HSO3Cl is prepd. at a high space-time yield by mixing and reacting gaseous HCl with SO3 dissolved in ClSO3H, contg. 0.3-1.4% SO3 at 70-100 Deg in a venturi tube at 1-1.1 mol HCl/mol SO3. Thus, into the throat of a vertical venturi tube was fed gaseous HCl at 520 L/h and a rising stream of a soln. of SO3 in HSO3Cl. The reaction mixt. at 80 Deg then passed into the bubble column above the venturi where the reaction was completed, excess HCl being discharged at the top of the column, and HSO3Cl withdrawn through a side outlet and cooled. The product was collected at an outlet at 2.9 kg/h. The remaining CSO3Cl was recycled to the venturi reactor after the addn. of 1.05 L SO3/h. [on SciFinder (R)]

Venturi effect

The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a fluid flows through a constricted section (or choke) of a pipe. The Venturi effect is named after its discoverer, the 18th-century Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi. In inviscid fluid dynamics, an incompressible fluid's velocity must increase as it passes through a constriction in accord with the principle of mass continuity, while its static pressure must decrease in accord with the principle of conservation of mechanical energy (Bernoulli's principle).

Chlorine

Chlorine is a chemical element with the symbol Cl and atomic number 17. The second-lightest of the halogens, it appears between fluorine and bromine in the periodic table and its properties are mostly intermediate between them. Chlorine is a yellow-green gas at room temperature. It is an extremely reactive element and a strong oxidising agent: among the elements, it has the highest electron affinity and the third-highest electronegativity on the revised Pauling scale, behind only oxygen and fluorine.

Hypochlorous acid

Hypochlorous acid (ClOH, HClO, HOCl, or ClHO) is a weak acid that forms when chlorine dissolves in water, and itself partially dissociates, forming hypochlorite, ClO−. HClO and ClO− are oxidizers, and the primary disinfection agents of chlorine solutions. HClO cannot be isolated from these solutions due to rapid equilibration with its precursor, chlorine. Because of its strong antimicrobial properties, the related compounds sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and calcium hypochlorite (Ca(ClO)2) are ingredients in many commercial bleaches, deodorants, and disinfectants.
