Claim 6:
7. A process for producing 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane, the process comprising
providing, within a slurry system, a slurry including Lewis acid catalyst within a chlorinated hydrocarbon;
continuously agitating the slurry to form an agitated slurry, where the step of continuously agitating includes continuously circulating the slurry through a slurry loop of the slurry system, where the slurry system includes a valve,
where when the valve is in an open position, a step of allowing the agitated slurry to feed to a reaction vessel occurs, and
where when the valve is in a closed position, a step of circulating the agitated slurry through the slurry loop and back to a mix tank occurs;
introducing, to the reaction vessel, 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane, chlorine, and the agitated slurry, the reaction vessel optionally further including carbon tetrachloride; and
allowing the 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane to chlorinate to the 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane in the presence of the Lewis acid catalyst which is within the agitated slurry.
