Abstract:
CHLOROCYANURIC ACIDS ARE PRODUCED BY COMBINING (1) AN AQUEOUS SLURRY OF CYANURIC ACID WITH (2) AN AQUEOUS SOLUTION OF HYPOCHLORITE OF AN ALKALI METAL OR ALKALINE EARTH METAL AND (3) AN AQUEOUS ACID STRONGER THAN HYPOCHLOROUS ACID, MAINTAINING A PH BELOW 5 IN THE RESULTING AQUEOUS MIXTURE.
Abstract:
Polychloroisocyanuric acids are produced by the reaction of monoalkali metal cyanurate with hypochlorous acid and a chlorinecontaining compound selected from the group consisting of chlorine and chlorine octahydrate where the molar ratio of chlorine-containing compound to monoalkali metal cyanurate is at least 1:1. Where an excess of chlorine-containing compound is used, this excess is employed to remove any gaseous by-products such as nitrogen trichloride, which may be formed during the reaction. This excess containing gaseous by-products is reacted with an alkali metal compound to convert the chlorine present to an alkali metal hypochlorite, which is further reaction to form hypochlorous acid. The hypochlorous acid can be used in the chlorination reaction. Reaction conditions include a temperature range of from -5* to 45*C. and a pH of 3 to 4.5.
