Abstract

A process for producing chloric acid which comprises converting an aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid containing at least 20 percent by weight of HOCl at a temperature in the range of from about 10 to about 120 °C to a reaction mixture comprising a dilute aqueous solution of chloric acid and gaseous by-products while continuously removing the gaseous by-products to produce a chloric acid solution containing about 10 percent or greater by weight of HClO3. Using the novel process it has been found that chloric acid can be produced efficiently at substantially reduced production costs using a process which can be operated commercially. In addition, the chloric acid solutions are produced in high concentrations and high purity being substantially free of impurities such as alkali metal ions, chloride ions and sulfate ions.

Background of the Invention
Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the production of chloric acid, HClO3. Chloric acid can be used in the formation of chlorine dioxide, a commercial bleaching and sanitizing agent.
Description of the Prior Art Chloric acid is a known compound which has been made in laboratory preparations by the reaction of barium chlorate with sulfuric acid to precipitate barium sulfate and produce a dilute aqueous solution of chloric acid which was concentrated by evaporation of water under partial vacuum. In another method sodium chlorate is reacted with an acid such as
hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid to produce an aqueous solution of chloric acid containing sulfate or chloride ions as impurities. In addition, commercial processes for
producing chlorine dioxide form chloric acid as an
intermediate. U.S. Patent 3,810,969 issued May 14, 1974 to A.A.
Schlumberger teaches a process for producing chloric acid of high purity by passing an aqueous solution containing from 0.2 gram mole to 11 gram moles per liter of an alkali metal chlorate such as sodium chlorate through a selected cationic exchange resin at a temperature from 5º to 40º C. The proces produces an aqueous solution containing from 0.2 gram mole to about 4.0 gram moles of HClO3.
Kirk-Othmer : "Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology" 3rd edition, vol. 5, page 587 teach that the decomposition of dilute hypochlorous acid solutions (1 M) can occur in two ways:
Figure imgf000004_0001
in the second mechanism, chlorous acid [HCIO2] is stated to be an intermediate in the formation. Decomposition of HOCl by both mechanisms is said to increase with concentration, temperature and exposure to light and are pH dependent. The first reaction mechanism is said to be accelerated by
catalysts and the second mechanism favored by the pressure of electrolytes such as the chloride ion. The reference,
however, has no teachings regarding the decomposition of concentrated hypochlorous acid solutions.
Chloric acid, however, up to the present time, has not been commercially produced or available commercially because of the high manufacturing costs and/or the undesired
impurities present in the solutions of HClO3 made by these reactions. Summary of the Invention
Now it has been found that chloric acid can be produced efficiently at substantially reduced production costs using a process which can be operated commercially. In addition, the chloric acid solutions produced are of high purity and are stable at ambient conditions.
In accordance with this invention, there is provided a process for producing chloric acid which comprises converting an aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid containing at least 20 percent by weight of HOCl at a temperature in the range of from about 10° to about 120 ºC. to a reaction mixture
comprising a dilute aqueous solution of chloric acid and gaseous by-products and continuously removing the gaseous by-products to produce a chloric acid solution containing about 10 percent or greater by weight of HClO3.
Detailed Description of the Invention The novel process of the present invention employs as the starting material a concentrated solution of high purity hypochlorous acid, HOCl. One method of producing high purity concentrated HOCl solutions is that in which gaseous mixtures, having high concentrations of hypochlorous acid vapors and chlorine monoxide gas and controlled amounts of water vapor are produced, for example, by the process described by J. P. Brennan et al in U.S. Patent No. 4,147,761, which is
incorporated in its entirety by reference. The gaseous mixture is then converted to a concentrated hypochlorous acid solution as described in WO 90/05111 published May 17, 1990 by J. K. Melton, et. al. which is incorporated in its entirety by reference. The concentrated hypochlorous acid solution employed as a reactant contains at least 20 percent by weight of HOCl. Preferred solutions are those having concentrations in the range of from about 30 to about 60, and more preferably from about 40 to about 55 percent by weight of HOCl. The solution is substantially free of ionic impurities such as chloride ions and alkali metal ions and has low concentrations of dissolved chlorine. For example, concentrations of the chloride ion are preferably less than about 50 parts per million and the alkali metal ion concentration is preferably less than about 50 parts per million. The dissolved chlorine concentration in the hypochlorous acid solution is normally less than about 2 percent, and preferably less than about 1 percent by weight.
The concentrated hypochlorous acid is converted to chloric acid in any suitable manner and because the
hypochlorous acid reagent is of high purity, the conversion is believed to produce chloric acid according to the following reactions:
Figure imgf000006_0001
In one embodiment of the process of the invention conversion of the concentrated hypochlorous acid to chloric acid takes place in an open vessel. Under these conditions the gaseous by-products are released as formed, for example, to a scrubbing apparatus containing an alkaline solution.
Suitable temperatures are those, for example, in the range of from about 10 to about 120º at autogenous pressures. The conversion times are directly related to the temperature, however, as the conversion temperature increases, the yield of chloric acid is reduced. Therefore the hypochlorous acid conversion, where the by-product gases are released or
continuously removed, is preferably at from about 25 to about 70ºC. A dilute aqueous solution of chloric acid is produced which is may be further concentrated.
In a preferred embodiment, the chloric acid is produced by heating the hypochlorous acid solution at elevated
temperatures while maintaining the gaseous by-products formed in contact with the reaction mixture during the reaction period. This can be accomplished, for example, by carrying out the process in a sealed reactor at the autogenous
pressures attained wherein a substantial increase in the yield of chloric acid results. For example, the concentrated hypochlorous acid solution may be heated at temperatures in the range of from about 40 to about 120, preferably in the range of from about 50 to about 110 ºC, and more preferably in the range of from about 60 to about 100ºC.
Where the chloric acid solution produced by the process of the invention is dilute, i.e. less than about 10 percent by weight of HCIO3, the chloric acid solution is further
concentrated by removing a portion of the water by
evaporation. During evaporation any residual hypochlorous acid is converted to chloric acid product. Concentration is suitably accomplished by heating the chloric acid solution at temperatures above about 40ºC, for example at temperatures in the range of from about 40 to about 120 ºC, preferably at from about 70 to about 120 ºC. and more preferably at from about 95 to about 120 ºC.
The chloric acid solutions may also be concentrated by vacuum distillation. Any suitable vacuum pressures may be used such as those in the range of from about 0.01 to about 100 mm Hg. pressure
The highly pure chloric acid solutions which are produced by the novel process of the present invention contain at least about 10 percent, for example 12 percent or greater, by weight of HClO3. Concentrated solutions up to about 45% by weight of HClO3 may be produced. Preferred chloric acid solutions are those having from about 15% to about 40%, and more preferably 18% to about 35% by weight of HClO3. The highly pure concentrated solutions produced i.e. those above about 30% by weight of HClO3, are surprisingly stable and can be stored safely without significant decomposition for extended periods of time.
The novel process of the present invention is further illustrated by the following examples with no intention of being limited thereby. All parts and percentages are by weight unless otherwise indicated.
EXAMPLE 1
A solution of hypochlorous acid containing 30% by weight of HOCl was added to a large open vessel at ambient temperature and pressure. The solution was analyzed
periodically and when the reaction had produced a solution containing 6.0% of HClO3, 5.3% of HOCl and 0.1% HCl by
weight, the solution was heated at 30ºC and a solution
containing 7.8% HClO3, 0.6% HOCl and 0.1% HCl by weight produced. This chloric acid solution was further concentrated by vacuum distillation at 20-24ºC and about 0.1 mm Hg to a solution containing 20.03% HClO3 and less than 0.1% by
weight of either HOCl or HCl.
EXAMPLE 2
A concentrated solution of hypochlorous acid containing 41% by weight of HOCl was placed in the large open vessel employed in Example 1, and allowed to remain at room
temperature for 24 hours. The solution was then concentrated by vacuum evaporation at 25ºC to produce a chloric acid solution containing 23.5% by weight of HClO3. The analyses are as follows:
