Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a process for producing methionine and a salt thereof. SOLUTION: The methionine is produced by passing 3-methylmercaptopropionaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia and carbon dioxide through steps of synthesis, hydrolysis and liberation. The nearly quantitatively obtained methionine has slight discoloration and good storage stability. Continuous production can be carried out in a large-scale apparatus by the process.

Abstract:
There is provided a process for the recovery of liquid cyanuric chloride from a mixture formed by the trimerization of cyanogen chloride in a trimerization reactor with subsequent fractionation of said mixture comprising conducting the mixture in an at least partially gaseous condition at 146* to 500*C. to a column system, bringing said mixture in a first fractionating column into contact with a solvent for cyanuric chloride having a boiling point between that of cyanogen chloride and that of cyanuric chloride and which is stable to cyanuric chloride, cyanogen chloride, chlorine and hydrogen chloride, recovering condensed liquid cyanuric chloride from the bottom of said first column at a temperature above the boiling point of said solvent, removing the distillate mixture containing solvent, cyanogen chloride, chlorine and any carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen chloride from the top of said first column, partially condensing a portion of said distillate and returning said partial condensate to the top of the first fractionating column, leading the solvent containing residual gas of chlorine, cyanogen chloride and any carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen chloride present to a second fractionating column adding sufficient liquid cyanogen chloride to the top of said second column to maintain a reflux in the top of said second column, removing a mixture of chlorine and cyanogen chloride and any carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen chloride free of said solvent from the top of said second column, returning the chlorine and cyanogen chloride to the trimerization reactor, insuring that the gas entering said reactor contains at least 50 weight percent cyanogen, collecting chlorine and cyanogen chloride free solvent in the bottom of the second column and returning it to the top of the first fractionating column.

Abstract:
CYANOGEN IS PREPARED BY REACTING HYDROGEN CYANIDE AND CHLORINE IN THE PRESENCE OF A SURFACE ACTIVE CATALYST. THE PRODUCT STILL CONTAINING HYDROGEN CYANIDE IS TREATED WITH 1 TO 1.1 MOLE OF CHLORINE PER MOLE OF HYDROGEN CYANIDE REMAINING AT 195 TO 800* C. FOR 10 TO 0.01 SECOND AND IN THE PRESENCE OF THE SURFACE ACTIVE CATALYST, PREFERABLY ACTIVATED CARBON.
Abstract:
A MIXTURE OF CYANOGEN CHLORIDE AND HYDROGEN CHLORIDE IS SEPARATED BY MEANS OF ORGANIC LIQUID IN WHICH THE CYANOGEN CHLORIDE IS ABSORBED BUT IN WHICH THE HYDROGEN CHLORIDE IS INSOLUBLE.
Abstract:
The residual gases obtained in the production of cyanuric chloride having a pressure of 1-5 bar (absolute) preferably 1-4 bar, are worked up by leading them into the lower portion of a column, reacted in the column with at least the equivalent amount of hydrogen cyanide to form cyanogen chloride and led in countercurrent flow to the water charged to the upper portion of the column whereupon the aqueous solution of cyanogen chloride formed is withdrawn from the lower portion of the column and preferably is returned into the production portion of the plant for recovery of the cyanogen chloride while the purified waste gas of the column leaves in the upper portion of the column.
Abstract:
Side reactions in the use of gaseous chlorine are avoided by leading the chlorine containing at least 0.0001% of non-volatile compounds such as ferric chloride over silica gel, glass wool, pumice or montmorillonite. Preferably the thus treated chlorine is passed through hexachlorobutadiene or perfluorokerosene in a second absorption step. Ferric chloride can also be removed from the chlorine gas by treating with sulfuric acid.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for producing finely divided solid cyanuric chloride, which comprises injecting liquid cyanuric chloride into a separating column where it is cooled with recycle inert gases to an extent such that it separates out in a crystalline form, washing the thus heated cyanuric-chloride-vapour-containing gases in a succeeding wash column in countercurrent flow with an inert washing liquid, which dissolves cyanuric chloride, until said gases are essentially free from the cyanuric chloride vapour and simultaneously cools said gases, recycling the cooled gases to the separating chamber, reducing the temperature of the cyanuric-chloride-containing wash liquid so obtained to its initial value by recycling said liquid to said wash column through a cooler continuously raising the inside of a pipe line connected to the separating column and leading to the washing column with wash liquid and separating a partial flow of the cyanuric-chloride-containing wash liquid in a distillation column into pure liquid cyanuric chloride, which is recycled into the separating column, and pure wash liquor, which is recycled into the washing column.
