Claim 9:
10. A process for producing 1,1,1,2,3-pentachloropropane, the process comprising:
(i) providing, within a slurry system, a slurry of a Lewis acid catalyst within a chlorinated hydrocarbon;
(ii) continuously circulating the slurry through a slurry loop in fluid communication with a reactor, to thereby form an agitated slurry, where the slurry loop includes a back-pressure valve for maintaining adequate pressure within the slurry loop, where the back-pressure valve is downstream of where the slurry loop provides the agitated slurry to the reactor;
(iii) introducing into the reactor 1,1,1,3-tetrachloropropane, chlorine, and the agitated slurry; and
(iv) 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.
