Abstract
An elongated, generally vertically extending reactor vessel for the production of hypochlorous acid by the mixing and reaction of a liquid alkali metal hydroxide and a gaseous halogen is provided with solids discharge handling apparatus connected to the bottom to remove the solid by-product. The discharge handling apparatus uses the solids to effect a seal to prevent the intrusion of outside air into the reactor and the escape of halogen and product gas to the outside atmosphere.
