Embodiment 1

[0338] Formation of one or more organic compounds from unsaturated hydrocarbons

[0339] Formation of EDC from ethylene using copper chloride

[0340] This experiment involves the formation of ethylene dichloride (EDC) from ethylene using copper chloride. The experiment was carried out in a pressure vessel. The pressure vessel contained an outer jacket containing the catalyst (ie, copper chloride solution) and an inlet for ethylene gas sparging in the copper chloride solution. The concentrations of the reactants are shown in Table 1 below. In the experiment, the pressure vessel was heated to 160° C., and ethylene gas was passed into the vessel containing 200 mL of the solution at 300 psi for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Cool the container to 4°C before venting and opening. The product formed in solution was extracted with ethyl acetate and then separated using a separatory funnel. Gas chromatography (GC) was performed on the ethyl acetate extract containing EDC.

Abstract

The present invention discloses methods and systems that relate to electrochemically oxidizing metal halide with a metal ion in a lower oxidation state to a higher oxidation state; halogenating an unsaturated hydrocarbon or a saturated hydrocarbon with the metal halide with the metal ion in the higher oxidation state; and oxyhalogenating the metal halide with the metal ion from a lower oxidation state to a higher oxidation state in presence of an oxidant. In some embodiments, the oxyhalogenation is in series with the electrochemical oxidation, the electrochemical oxidation is in series with the oxyhalogenation, the oxyhalogenation is parallel to the electrochemical oxidation, and / or the oxyhalogenation is simultaneous with the halogenation.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 247,421, filed October 28, 2015, which is hereby incorporated by reference into this disclosure in its entirety. Background technique [0003] Ethylene dichloride can be produced by the direct chlorination of ethylene using chlorine gas produced by the chlor-alkali process. In the production of caustic soda electrochemically, for example by the chlor-alkali process, large amounts of energy, salt and water are used. [0004] The production of chlorine and caustic soda by electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride solution or brine is one of the electrochemical processes requiring high energy consumption. To maintain this process in the chlor-alkali industry, the total energy requirement is eg about 2% of the total electricity generated in the US and about 1% in Japan. High energy consumption can lead to high carbon dioxide emissions from burni...
