Abstract

The higher chloroalkanes, advantageously the higher chloromethanes, are continuously produced from at least one lesser chloroalkane, by (i) continuously introducing chlorine and said at least one lesser chloroalkane into a stream of reaction medium continuously and essentially autogenously recirculating in a loop circuit which comprises an essentially vertical principal reaction zone, (ii) continuously chlorinating said at least one lesser chloroalkane in said essentially vertical principal reaction zone, and (iii) continuously withdrawing higher chloroalkane product from said stream of essentially autogenously recirculating reaction medium.
