| Use | hexachlorocyclopentadiene is used as an intermediate in the production of pesticides, used in the production of organochlorine insecticides and acaricides, such as mirex, Aldrin, dieldrin, chlordane, endosulfan, etc. In addition, hexachlorocyclopentadiene is also used as flame retardant and curing agent for polyester resin and polyurethane foam. hexachlorocyclopentadiene is an intermediate in the synthesis of polychlorinated organic compounds. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of chlordane in pesticides, as an intermediate in the synthesis of chlordane, as well as endosulfan alcohol. It is mainly used for the preparation of organochlorine pesticides, Aldrin, chlordane and flame retardant plastics. |
| production method | is obtained by chlorination of cyclopentadiene in two steps. The chlorination in the first step is carried out at 90 ° C., the weight ratio of chlorine gas to cyclopentadiene is 1 :( 0.24-0.34), and the reaction generates chlorocyclopentane containing 4-6 chlorine. The second step of chlorination is carried out at a high temperature, the reaction temperature is 500-510 ° C., and the molar ratio of polychlorocyclopentane to chlorine is 1 :( 6-8). In addition, hexachlorocyclopentadiene was synthesized from petroleum pentane by light chlorination and high temperature chlorination, and the yield was about 70%. The preparation method is obtained by high-temperature dechlorination of octachlorocyclopent-1-ene. The octachlorocyclopent-1-ene is continuously and evenly added into the vaporization kettle, and then it is put into a special nickel tube reactor, which is heated to 500~510 ℃ with electric induction heater, the high-temperature dechlorination reaction is carried out, the residence time of the material in the reaction tube is controlled by the feeding rate, and the product is cooled to obtain a crude hexachlorocyclopentadiene product. Dehydrochlorination followed by extraction into a well-sealed still having a number of about 4 to 5 plates is subjected to vacuum distillation to obtain purified hexachlorocyclopentadiene. |
