Ignition is avoided by using narrow channels and high velocities in the reactor. The chlorine conversion is total, and the methane conversion around 65 percent. Equipment for the commercial chlorination reactions is more difficult to select, since the combination of halogen, oxygen, halogen acid, water, and heat is particularly corrosive. Alloys such as Hastelloy and Durichlor resist well and are often used, and glass, glass-enameled steel, and tantalum are totally resistant but not always available.

Platinum black, palladium black, copper metal, copper oxide, nickel oxide, aluminum, and other materials have subsequently been developed as hydrogenation catalysts. Temperatures and pressures have been increased in many instances to improve yields of desired product. 7 MPa). 7 MPa). 30 REACTION TYPES Many hydrogenation processes are of a proprietary nature, with numerous combinations of catalysts, temperature, and pressure possible. Lower pressures and higher temperatures favor dehydrogenation, but the catalysts used are the same as for hydrogenation.

Reaction is rapid in well-stirred and continuous nitration vessels. 34 REACTION TYPES decanted from the spent acid and are washed with dilute alkali. The spent acid is sent to some type of recovery system and yields of 98 percent can be anticipated. Considerable heat evolution accompanies the nitration reaction, oxidation increases it, and the heat of dilution of the sulfuric acid increases it still further. Increased temperature favors dinitration arid oxidation, so the reaction must be cooled to keep it under control.
