A process is described for the pyrolysis of the by-products of vinyl chloride manufacture. By means of a batchwise combined gas-and liquid-phase pyrolysis at 1 atm about half of the chlorine present in the by-product could be recovered as dry hydrogen chloride, about 20% as vinyl chloride, and about 30% as chlorinated C2 hydrocarbons; less than 1 YO remained in the solid residue.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
