Complete Specification Accepted, 10th Aug.. 1888
I, Dr. CHRISTIAN HEINZERLING of Zürich, Switzerland, Professor, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
"
My invention relates to a process for separating chlorine from gas-mixtures" and
producing chlorie hydrate.
Chlorine gas has the quality to combine itself with cool water or aqueous liquids
which may contain acids as well as salts, producing hereby a crystalline composition
of the formula Cl, + 10 H, O and containing as it is believed 27, 7% of chlorine.
Of this quality of the chlorine to produce the above named hydrate I make use for
separating chlorine gas from a gas mixture of any kind. The chlorine can be liberated
from the produced hydrate of chlorine according to the purpose which the chlorine
has to serve, by either heating the chloric hydrate or by mixing the same with a
proportionate quantity of water.
The first process I choose, when the chlorine is to be used for bleaching, disinfection,
for the production of chloride of lime &c. and in primary chlorine gas batteries,
the other way I employ when an aqueous solution of the chlorine gas is to be
produced.

declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention relates to <
a process for separating chlorine from gas mixtures" and
producing chloric hydrate.
Chlorine gas has the quality to combine itself with water or aqueous liquids which
contain acids as well as salts, producing hereby a crystalline composition of the
formula Cl. + 10 H, O and containing about 27,7 % of chlorine.
I make use of this property of chlorine to produce the above named hydrate, for
separating the chlorine gas from a gas mixture of any kind. I lead the gas mixture
through water or other suitable liquid and so forming the chemical combina-
tion Cl, +10 H, O. The chlorine can be liberated from the produced hydrate of
chlorine according to the purpose which the chlorine has to serve, by either heating
the chloric hydrate or by mixing the same with a proportional quantity of warm
water.
I choose the first process, when the chlorine is to be used for the production of
chloride of lime for bleaching or disinfecting purposes etc. I employ the second process
for producing an aqueous solution of chlorine gas for use in primary chlorine gas
batteries.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:
* 1) The process of separating chlorine from gas mixtures by first passing the same
through cooled water or liquids containing cooled water and then warming the same
and thus decomposing the formed Hydrate of chlorine and liberating the chlorine
therein, for the purpose of producing chloride of line for bleaching or disinfecting
purposes.
2) The process of separating chlorine from gas mixtures by first passing the same
through cooled water or liquids containing water and mixing the same with a proper
quantity of warm water for the purpose of producing an aqueous solution of chlorine
gas for use in primary chlorine gas batteries.
