Abstract

Apparatus for the production of higher chloromethanes, i.e, CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2, CHCl.sub.3 and CCl.sub.4, by chlorinating methyl chloride with chlorine in a first reaction zone A, chlorinating at least one of the higher chloromethanes CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and CHCl.sub.3 with chlorine in a parallel second reaction zone B, combining the reaction products from the first and second reaction zones A and B, separating higher chloromethanes from the combined reaction prodcuts, and recycling at least one of the separated higher chloromethanes CH.sub.2 Cl.sub.2 and CHCl.sub.3 as chlorination feed to the second reaction zone B.
