1. Process reaction principles

1.1 General

Today, there are two main families of chloromethane production processes, depending on the base carbon.

The first, and oldest, starts with methane and is based on the following chemical reactions: $\begin{matrix} \begin{array}{l} {CH}_{4} \\ {CH}_{3} Cl \\ {CH}_{2} {Cl}_{2} \\ {CHCl}_{3} \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} + {Cl}_{2} \to {CH}_{3} Cl + HCl \\ + {Cl}_{2} \to {CH}_{2} {Cl}_{2} + HCl \\ + {Cl}_{2} \to {CHCl}_{3} + HCl \\ + {Cl}_{2} \to {CCl}_{4} + HCl \end{array} \end{matrix}$
