Optimazation of Opration Condition in Smei Industrial Production of Chlorinated Paraffin

Due to the range of applications of chlorinated paraffin in the industry, and the existence of raw materials (paraffin and chlorine) in the country, its industrial production is necessary. The aim of this study is investigation of the process effective factors in semi-industrial production of chlorinated paraffin. Therefore, using a semi-industrial pilot were investigated the effect of temperature and the amount of chlorine on the chlorinated paraffin quality. The results show that chlorination of paraffin by heating method was began the range of 70 to 75 ̊C and obtained good quality product in the 80 to 90 ̊C. Furthermore, chlorine amount optimum was determined about 1.4 lit/min according to the reactor volume was about 10 liter. It was also indicated the in higher amount of chlorine obtained product with low percent of chlorine and density.
