Abstract:
In the temperature range 200-500 C, carbon tetra-chloride vapour reacts with Sb2S3 and CdS according as 2Sb,52+3CC14 = 4SbC13 + 3CS2 and 2CdS+ CC14,--.2CdC12÷CS2. Formation of metal chlorides were quantitative; but that of CS varied between 80.0-92% in the case of Sb S and 84.5-97.9% in the case of CdS depending on temperature. The lower yield was found to be due to a side reaction (involving CS') that produces sulphur chlorides at lower temperatures upto 400 C. Above this temperature, the side reaction is minimum and only very small amounts of elementary sulphur were formed. No CSCl2 was traced in the products. optimum temperature was 450 C for both the reactions.
