Process for preparing allyl chloride

In accordance with the present invention, the process for preparing allyl chloride comprises chlorination of propylene with hydrogen chloride in an upward stream consisting of propylene, hydrogen chloride and a catalyst, i.e. manganese dioxide incorporated in a leaned manganese ore in an amount of 20 to 35% byu weight at a temperature within the range of from 300 DEG to 500 DEG C., concentration of the catalyst in the stream of 130-180 kg/m3, time of contact between propylene, hydrogen chloride and the catalyst in the stream of 0.2-0.7 sec and a volume ratio between propylene and hydrogen chloride in the stream of 1:3-5 respectively. Then the spent catalyst is separated from the reaction mixture resulting from chlorination, regenerated with oxygen at a temperature of from 500 DEG to 520 DEG C. and recycled to the chlorination process. The process according to the present invention makes it possible to achieve a yield of allyl chloride of up to 81.5 vol. % as calculated for the passed propylene, conversion of propylene of up to 98.0% at a process selectivity of from 80 to 85 vol. %. Furthermore, the process according to the present invention makes it possible to provide a wasteless production of allyl chloride.
