  2. Chloroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloroethane

    Chloroethane, commonly known as ethyl chloride, is a chemical compound with chemical formula CH 3 CH 2 Cl, once widely used in producing tetraethyllead, a gasoline additive. It is a colorless, flammable gas or refrigerated liquid with a faintly sweet odor.

  3. 1,2-Dichloroethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1,2-Dichloroethane

    In the laboratory it is occasionally used as a source of chlorine, with elimination of ethene and chloride. Via several steps, 1,2-dichloroethane is a precursor to 1,1,1-trichloroethane . Historically, before leaded petrol was phased out, chloroethanes were used as an additive in petrol to prevent lead buildup in engines.

  4. Wacker process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacker_process

    The heterogeneous process ultimately failed due to catalyst inactivation and was replaced by the water-based homogeneous system for which a pilot plant was operational in 1958. Problems with the aggressive catalyst solution were solved by adopting titanium (newly available for industrial use) as construction material for reactors and pumps.

  5. Oxychlorination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxychlorination

    Oxychlorination is employed in the conversion of ethylene into vinyl chloride. In the first step in this process, ethylene undergoes oxychlorination to give ethylene chloride: CH 2 =CH 2 + 2 HCl + ½ O 2 → ClCH 2 CH 2 Cl + H 2 O. Oxychlorination is of special importance in the making of 1,2-dichloroethane, which is then converted into vinyl ...

  6. Coagulation (water treatment) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coagulation_(water_treatment)

    Coagulation-flocculation process in a water treatment system. In water treatment, coagulation and flocculation involve the addition of compounds that promote the clumping of fine floc into larger floc so that they can be more easily separated from the water. Coagulation is a chemical process that involves neutralization of charge whereas ...

  7. Williamson ether synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Williamson_ether_synthesis

    Ether synthesis by reaction of salicylaldehyde with chloroacetic acid and sodium hydroxide [1]. The Williamson ether synthesis is an organic reaction, forming an ether from an organohalide and a deprotonated alcohol ().

  8. Electrodialysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodialysis

    Water reuse (e.g., desalination brine treatment, industrial laundry wastewater, produced water from oil/gas production, cooling tower makeup & blowdown, metals industry fluids, wash-rack water) Pre-demineralization (e.g., boiler makeup & pretreatment, ultrapure water pretreatment, process water desalination, power generation , semiconductor ...

  9. Steam cracking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_cracking

    Steam cracker process diagram Gibbs free energy per carbon atom. This shows that at high temperature, hexane can split into ethane and ethylene ("Ethen"), and ethane can split into ethylene and hydrogen. But ethylene can decompose into methane and carbon if given too much time, and all the hydrocarbons can decompose into carbon and hydrogen.
