Introduction | 1,1,2, 2-tetrachloroethane is a thallium chloride organism of ethane, it is the most soluble organic chlorine compound. As a refrigerant, it is also referred to as R-130. |
purpose | This product is an effective solvent. However, due to high toxicity, the use of this aspect is limited. Industry is mainly used as raw materials of trichloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene. used as solvent and analytical reagent used in the production of metal detergents, pesticides, herbicides, solvents and so on solvent. Refractive index was measured. Crystallographically used as an infusion. Biological experiments were used to make kidney, liver and gastrointestinal lesions. Paint rust remover. Determination of theobromine in cocoa beans. � |
production method | is prepared by chlorination of acetylene. The reaction is carried out in tetrachloroethane itself as a solvent (explosion occurs when gaseous acetylene and chlorine react directly), and the catalyst is antimony pentachloride or ferric chloride. When ferric chloride catalyst is used, the system is kept under negative pressure, tetrachloroethane is in a reflux state, dry acetylene and chlorine are continuously introduced, and the heat of reaction is absorbed and removed by the refluxing tetrachloroethane vapor, the yield was 97% (versus acetylene). |
