The present application relates to a method for photochlorination, and specifically to photochlorination by a photochemical reaction of an aromatic compound with gaseous chlorine so as to prepare a trichloromethyl-substituted benzene, and to a method using bis-(trichloromethyl)-benzene as the trichloromethyl-substituted benzene to prepare by further reaction bis-(chloroformyl)-benzene. Through the control of temperature, illuminance and consumption of gaseous chlorine, the method of this application can greatly improve the purity of trichloromethyl-substituted benzene and further prepare polymer-grade bis-(chloroformyl)-benzene with low cost. The present application also relates to a method for purifying trichloromethyl-substituted benzene, and specifically to a method for purifying trichloromethyl-substituted benzene via molecular distillation. The present application further relates to a photochlorination reactor for use in photochlorination reactions (such as those of the present application).

An integrated process and associated system for naphtha reforming and benzyl toluene production. The process includes providing a first toluene stream and a chlorine gas stream to a halogenation reactor to generate a benzyl chloride stream and a first HCl effluent stream then providing the benzyl chloride stream, a second toluene stream, and a Lewis acid stream to an alkylation reactor to generate a benzyl toluene stream and a second HCl effluent stream through a Friedel-Crafts reaction. The process further includes providing naphtha to a catalytic reforming unit to generate a reformate stream and a spent catalyst stream and then providing the spent catalyst stream and at least one of the first HCl effluent stream and the second HCl effluent stream to a catalyst regenerator to regenerate the spent catalyst stream.
