Abstract

A chlorinated hydrocarbon stream is cooled to condense water vapor and a major portion of the hydrogen chloride as aqueous hydrogen chloride. The uncondensed portion is further cooled by direct quenching with aqueous quench liquid to condense further water vapor, with the quench circuit being maintained on the alkaline side by the addition of base.
