Carbontetrachloride through Photo-chlorination of Chloroform

• Semi-continuous and continuous modes of operation have been developed
• Recovery and recycle operations included into the process development

• Process know-how for photo chlorination of chloroform to CCl4, both in semi-batch as well as continuous modes of operation.
• Demonstrated for both semi-batch and continuous modes of operation, with semi-batch operated at 1 kg scale and continuous mode of operation at 1 kg/day.

• Valuable feedstock for the synthesis of several commercial chemicals.
• Fundamental feedstock for production of fluorinated propanes, used to produce hydrofluoro olefins
