INTRODUCTION
Cohalogenated products have been on the market since 1959 when Heliogen Yiridine Y (later called Yiridine Toner 66-6001) was introduced by General Aniline, This product contains about 4 Br atoms, the rest being 01 atoms^ it is distinctly yellower than our Green G, G-T-751, It sells for the same orice ($350/lb.) but is some 22$ weaker than GT-T51.
Since the introduction of Heliogen Yiridine Y, there have appeared a number of cohalogenated products on the market (Table I), and as time went on, the amount of Bromine content `and corresponding yellowness have increased closer and closer to-the maximum of 15 Br atoms. It was still a question whether a CFG containing 15 Br could be made by a practical method, or even 'whether such a product would be desirable. It would be very yellow but also very weak. Such a product is reported in the literature, (B. Klaxber, Thesis, Tech. Hochschule, Stuttgart, 1959)* prepared in low yield from CFG via AlBr-, and Perrum Redue turn and Br2, and contains 67.8$ Br (15 Br atoms) but no copper analysis is mentioned. It is important to check for demetallization (and subsequent possible degradation of light fastness) since demetallisation was shown to occur on broraln&tlon of CFG with elemental Bromine up to a Bromine content of 13 atoms (Linstead and Dent, U.S. 2,214,469),
It is seen in Table I, that standard Ultra,Marine's product GA.-4818 contains 12.0 atoms of Br. This may not be the maximum Br content to be seen eventually in a commercial sample since a higher Br content can be obtained. In this lab, a product CPG Brj.3.1 CI3..2 had already been made in 1959 l'TSC~31~47A\ and designated as a npolypromCBC".
To date, trade acceptance of the yellower greens has been slow because of inferior money value vs, conventional phthalocyanine greens. However, since they offer the only practical method of obtaining a yellower CPC green than our GT-751 without losing intensity, there are definite indications of further growth,
SUMMARY
Bab processes were developed for the cohalogenation of CPC in'eutectic melt to yield a product of goal compo sition containing at least 12 Bromine atoms, the rest Chlorine. These processes were designed to afford the optimum degree of"Bromine utilization, hold time and economy.
Plant runs at Chambers Works of Grehem were made and gave products of suitable Bromine and Chlorine contents.

II, SUMMARY (Coni?d)
Methods were developed to solvent breach successfully the Green. Y crude, and to finish the solvent breached Green Y in order to make it suitable for use in paint and plastics, in comparison with the competitive pigment, Suco GA-4818".
A hexadecabromo CPC with elemental analysis close to that for CPC Bri6 was prepared in a AlBrs-NABr eutectic melt. This product appears to be yellower and duller than the products with about 12 Br atoms,
III, PREVIOUS WORK IN THIS LABORATORY
The work on very yellow shade greens done about 1959 has been summarized (PTC-60-7). During our work in 1959* the cohalogenated Heliogen Viridine Y (IWY) appeared. This work led to a process yielding a counterpart for STY, containing from 25-30$ each of Bromine and Chlorine, which was equal in yellowness and strength to the competi tive. The process was designed to use the regular equip ment at Newport for chlorination. Plant runs were not carried out, however, because of several reasons. First, the cost estimate for the finished toner was slightly higher than that of GT-751 for a product selling at the same pricey second, an operating difficulty was present in the large amount of heat generated from the complexing of AlCls with SCI2S and third, at this time there appeared to be a very limited impact of the cohalogenated, very yellow shade greens on the market. The work was therefore
IV. ESTABLISHMENT OF TARGET
The inadequacy of Heliogen Viridine Y (Viridine Toner 66-6001) as a target was demonstrated by the successive appearance of other very yellow shade CPC greens, which contained more Bromine and which were yellower, during I9601962, The target product would have to be at least as yellow as Suco GA-4018 and also suitable in other properties, e.g,, strength, dispersibility, etc. In addition, the product should be capable of blending with Green G (GT-751) to form suitable counterparts to the competitive products in the intermediate shade range from that of GT-751 to Suco GA~48l8, viz,, Ans. Siegle 64~T-27, Viridine Toner 66-6001, Harmon G-5400 and others.
In order to find out if such blends would be suitable, an old sample of "polybrom-CPC" was used. This product (TSC-31-47A) had the composition CPCBri o iCX1.2 and had been made by the action of sulfur chloride, alBrs^and Bra on CPC, The process was not suitable for large-scale production of the npolybrom''-CPC because of the evolution of heat during the SCla-AlBrs complexing and the high costs for AlBrs and Br2. This product had been dispersion milled.

A. REVIEW OF LITERATURE AMO METHODS FOR FREPARATION OF
Several of the known methods for the cohalogenation of CPC are given in (PTC-60-?). For the sake of compari son, however, these methods along with alternate methods are included in Table III.
TABLE III
Routes to Broalnatefl CPC
A - Linstead - Bra Heat under Pressure
B - AICI3 - SClg - Bra - Pressure Reaction C - Aids - SOCI2 - Bra - Pressure Reaction D - Aids Had - Brg - Eutectic at Atmospheric
Pressure E - AlBrs - SCla - Bra (as in TSC-31-47A)
F - Synthesis of " Polybroirr'-CPC via Tetrabromophthalic Anhydride
Method A is described in B.P. t6l,268 and in J. Chem.. Soe, 1820, [1939J (Linstead). Briefly, CPC was heated with elemental Bra in sealed tubes up to 300C. The product contained high amounts of Bra (to 13 atoms) but almost no copper, demetalliza tion 'taking place. It is possible that the use of a copper source would provide, by this method, a poiyhrominated CPC, However, the fairly high pressures achieved in sealed glass tubes would appear to he difficult to attain and control in large scale use.

Method B was the process developed, for the Heliogen
Viridine Y counterpart in p t c -60-7- The process in volved the use of plant equipment used for Green G with ingredients of AICI3, SCla, and Bra- A much higher ratio of AICI3 to SCla was needed, however, in this process along with a lower temperature. This led to an operating difficulty because of the large amount of heat generated in the complexing of the AICI3 and SCI2. In addition, the removal of the final
sulfur chloride from the reaction mass, when done at
the temperature ordinarily used in the Green G process, gave halogen exchange (Cl for Br) with consequent blueing off. For these reasons, no plant trial was made. To contemplate making a polybrom-GPC by this process would mean increasing the AICI3/SCX2 ratio even more, with an even greater problem due to the heat of complexing.
Method C has been shown (PTC-60-7} to be quite operable, and has given CPCs containing up to 8 atoms of Br with a complement of Cl, The method is identical
to Method B except that SOClg is substituted for SCla, This process is covered in a patent to General Aniline, Randall and Taras (U.S, 2,873,279). The patent claims
a product with 13 Br atoms, 2 Cl atoms, but the analysis indicated only 11 Br atoms, 0,9 Cl atoms- Method C could be run in present equipment, but a separate re
covery system for 8OCI2 might be necessary. The heat of complexing of SOCI3 and AlCls is noticeably less than that of SCla AlCls. The explanation for the ability of SOCI2 to allow greater incorporation of Brg into the CPC molecule apparently lies in its lesser tendency to break up to yield free Chlorine- SOCI2
must be heated above 154C before free chlorine is released;
4SOCXs --> 23 Da -f S3CI3 + 4C1.2
Method D has considerable precedence. The old Dupont patent {Fox, tl,S, 2,247,752) (1941) listed procedures (Ex. 8 and 9) for eutectic eohalogenation of CPC by using a eutectic media of AlCls, NaCl, CuCls
with Bra and CPC. The Bromine was passed into the melt via a stream of nitrogen. Two products are described, C'PCBrQ, 2CI1.1 and another with 11 Br and 3 Cl. In the first example the copper analysis is shown, but is significantly omitted in the second. Thus the question is raised - is there some dematallization when the eutectic cohalogenation is carried out to 11 Br atoms (where Binstead found demetalliza tion) even when a source of copper is used? In addi tion to this possible problem. Fox used a fairly high (and expensive) ratio of AlCls to CPC. Neither was there any statement regarding Bromine Utilization Efficiency (BUE) or yields.

A eutectic process is also described by Niemann* et al, in U.S. 2*276*860 to General Aniline (1942), The process is like that of Pox except that no CuClj? is used, A composition CPCBr^Olg is obtained.
Since I960, a number of other patents have issued* also concerned with eutectic cohalogenation of CPC. Two of these* viz.*
BoP. 850* 237 Bel, 601*218
I960 1961*
repeat Pox or Niemann, and it is difficult to see why they issued. Both describe eohalogenated products containing only small amounts of Bromine, The ratio
of AICI3 to CPC used is about 4.
Two other patents* viz,*
F.P. 1*263,272 FoP. 1*273*802
1961 1961*
are quite different from Fox or Niemann, In F.P, 1*263*272* NaBr is used as the sole source of Bromine* and a composition CPCBrg k CIi i 3 is claimed. In P,P. 1*273*802* elementary Chlorine is not used* instead chlorosulfonlc acid and other compounds furnish the chlorine - by completing such as?
ClSOsH + AlCla ^^ l AlClsSOsH 4- C3
A product with a high Br content is described
{C'BC?B.rio.9Cl3.0)-. Another patent* U.S, 3,041*192 {1962) describes eutectic cohalogenation in connection with a claim for a method of conditioning using phthalate
esters. A product* CPCBrg, cjCln ,, 4 is described.
Prom the above discussion of eutectic cohalogen ation* we concluded that this method for making & polyhrom-CPC had possibilities if it could be made to satisfy certain requirements* viz.*
(1) Demetallization of CPC must be avoided,
(2) High Bromine Utiliziat5,on Efficiency must be obtained,
(3) "fields must be high.
(4) Suitable equipment must be obtained for running the eutectic cohalogenation.
Note:
Most of the patents concerning the use of eutectic
melts date from 19SI on. There appeared to be a lapse of interest in this method from the time of Fox5s patent in 1941 up to 1961* and gtraetically all of these later patents have become available only Since our work 'on the eutectic route started in 1962.

Method E used large amount of Aluminum Bromide in proportion to CPC. along with SCla end fairly large amount of Bra* This method appears obviously impractical because of the high cost of AlBrs and Bra, In addition, the heat of complexing between SCla and AlBrs is even greater than that between SCI2 and Aids, This process, however, in TSC-31-47 ,> has given a composition CPCBri3,iCli,2 with the greatest Bromine content ever attained in these laboratories. The copper analysis is somewhat lower than expected, along with the reported' presence of some aiuminum, which appears to indicate some demetallization of CPC and subsequent replacement by Al. No copper source was used in this experi ment, To summarize, this method gives a "polybrom1' CPC but is impractical as it stands. Since demetalli zation was not extensive, however, it appeared that this may not be cause for too much concern if a copper source is used in the cohalogenation,
Method F - Synthesis of brominated CPC starting from brominated phthalic anhydride (tetrabromo) was carried out by Moser (U.S. 2,549,842 to Standard Ultra Marine in 1951). Barge amounts of urea along with ancillary agents were used to make a "polybromo"CPC. but the quality of the product was not described. This method has been previously tried in this labora tory, (MB-1624-23,24,27), A discussion of the method was given in {FIC-oO-7) listing disadvantages to the method which include low yield, a difficult synthesis which required TCB as solvent, dullness and hardness of the finished product, and the fact that the identity of the material as a Polybrom-CPC was not clearly established. At this time, the cost of TBPA was |l.25/Ib. in 100-9999 lb, lots. In late 1962, the price of TBPA was reduced to 75 cents/lb. This might make the economics of this process attractive enough to warrant further work, although the lack of equip ment to handle TCB as a solvent Is serious.
In summary, these routes to a ''Polybrom"-CPC, the factors of economy, poor operability or patent problems, appeared to rule out all but Method i>. Mo plant equipment is available at Newport or Newark for eutectic halogenation. However, the cost of installing new equipment or modifying old equipment appeared to be modest. In addition, Orchem uses the eutectic melt method for producing polychlor-CPC and it was considered possible that this equipment might be available.
Note: The pertinent literature on bromination of CPC is abstracted and given in the Appendix.

B. THEORETICAL DISCUSSION OF EUTECTIC- C OHALOG-EHATSOM
Ho explanation of the mechanism of halogenation of aromatic compounds by halogens in an aluminum chloride - sodium chloride melt appears to he avail-* able. In other media, e.g., water, aqueous dioxane and acetic acid, a number of positively charged regents have been considered as intermediates, e.g.,
CZ+ Chloronium Ion Br* Bromonium Ion ClOHa* BrOHa-f
(Be LaMore and Ridd, Aromatic Substitution - Nitration and Halogenation, Academic Press, Inc,, B,YS, 1959)
Of these intermediates, the chloronium and bromonium ions appear to be of primary consideration, the other intermediates being formed from them by addition of solvent molecules. In the ionic media of the eutectic melt, the existence of the Cl* and Br* ions, either free, or as ion pairs, seems a reasonable assumption. The halogenation of the aromatic compound (CPC) may then proceed through an ordinary 'Whel&nd Transi tion State,
Wheland Transition
State
The ex'1' and Br* ions would be produced by the initial complex formations;
AlCls + Cl2 --5 [AlCl^ + Cl
AlCld + Br2 ~0aeisB^ + Ba
Here we are assuming that aluminum chloride exists
as the monomer AICX3 in the eutectic melt, and not as
the dimer AlaCXgs which is known to be the case in the
solid. These equations show that only one half of the
halogen can be used for halogenation. However, it has
been shown that Bromine can be released from the
[AXCl3Br>> complex by elemental Chlorine by exchange,

The bonding energies of the Al~Ealogen bond
are of the order of 78,0 heal,/mole for the Al~Br bond and 90,5 kcal./mole for the Al-Cl bond. The initial coraplexing of AlOla with Bromine or Chlorine
to form a. new Al-Br or Al-Cl bond would then be energetically of this order of magnitude. The exchange reactions mentioned above are driven by
the greater bonding energy of the Al-Cl bond over that of the Al-Br bond. This difference being about 12 kcal.
That this type of exchange takes place has been demonstrated by the utilization of Bromine in greater than 50$ level., even approaching complete utilization

The initial eomplexing of elemental halogen with AlCla is a reaction which develops considerable heat, and which would be energetically favored over the exchange reactions, although these are probably also exothermic. The exchange reactions are driven by the greater bonding energy of the Al-Cl bond (90.5 kcal./mole) than the Al-Br bond (78.0 kcal./ mole) but formation of the aluminum-halogen bond in the initial complex would be expected to release
a larger amount of energy.
In any process, therefore, where elemental halogen, (Cla or Brs or a mixture) is introduced into a AlCl3-NaCl eutectic melt, eomplexing Is expected to occur first, to the exclusion of exchange reactions.
After all the Aids is eomplexed by the stoichiometric molar equivalent of halogen or mixed halogen, then exchange reactions would be expected to occur if more Chlorine is added.

It will be apparent in the following section that
an excess of chlorine is to be avoided. Too much chlorine will give replacement of Bromine atoms on
the CPC molecule by chlorine atoms. Too little chlorine gives incomplete Bromine utilization since reactions j~4l and |~5jj will not start until enough dg is used in equation f3] to complex the AICI3 which was not
initially complexed by Bromine,
The desired stoichiometry appears therefore to be expressed by the relationship;

In addition to the required relationship jj3]. enough
Bromine and Chlorine must be used to attain goal compo sition. Por instance,, to attain CPC Bria minimum of 8 moles of Broroine and 8 moles of Chlorine are needed per mole of CPC.

The necessity for a source of copper was demon strated in eutectic cohalcgenation, Significant aluminum content resulted when no copper source

This laboratory work was the basis' for the plant c chalogenations Runs 2. 3 and 4 at Chambers Works of Orehem. In runs 1 and 2, it was found that the lab process as described above could not be literally transcribed to the plant since considerably greater loss of elemental Bromine and Chlorine from the eutectic occurred than in the lab. (The plant equip ment has no condenser for condensation of Bromine
as does the lab). For this reason., considerably larger amounts of elemental Bromine and Chlorine
were used in Runs No. 3 and 4, resulting in goal composition.

Bold time on Runs Ho. 3 and 4 were., however,
longer than desired, "being 44 and 40 hours, respectively.
The laboratory process above was designed to be economical of Bromine, since it is an expensive ingredient (about 28 cents/lb.}.
2,. 115# Bromine Excess Process
Additional laboratory work had indicated that if a greater excess of Bromine was used in the process, however, then the hold time could be substantially reduced, It was then a matter of obtaining the right balance between Bromine Excess and Reduced Bold Time to make the process most economical.
At this time, the eutectic melt was changed slightly in composition in order to reduce vis
cosity and to lower the melting point of the melt, A lower melting point was desired to help avoid plugging in the drowning leg from kettle to hydrolysis vat. This new melt contained the follow

Another change made was the use of HC1 in the hydrolysis water - which gave a little more intensity in the final solvent breached product.
The laboratory cohalogenations using the larger excess of Bromine gave goal composition,
and showed .reproducibility with Hold Time ranging from 21 to 32^hr, total, as shown in Table V. The ratio of Bromine/CPC in these experiments was about 4.8/1 by weight, which is a .115# excess of Bromine over the amount of Bromine needed when used up completely. This type of process is referred to as the 115# Bromine Excess Process, and is described, in Part B in the Appendix,

The table shows that there is little difference
resulting from the different types of eutectic melts. The higher temperatures can be used,, apparently, to obtain high degress of complete ness of halogenation without a correlative
reduction in Broraine content. For this reason., the plant Runs 5, 6 and 7 were stipulated to be run at 150 5C, (vs. 140C for Runs 1,2,3 and 4),
O Spectro Test for End-Point Determination on C ohalogenation
-- -------.... ..... ...
The determination of endpoint used for Plant cohalogenations Mo, 3 and 4 was primarily by visual comparison of shade of a hydrolyzed crude Breen Y slurry with the shade of a laboratory-made slurry containing a CPC Green of goal composition, Neither this method, nor the completeness test with. 90$ H2SO4 was very satisfactory. The visual comparisons were very difficult to make after enough halogenation had occurred to make the Change from blue to green, and the completeness test gave variable results. The latter does not, of course, relate Bromine and Chlorine content, but only total halogen.
An alternative test v>as developed for Plant Runs
Mo, 5, 6, and 7 which was called the "Spectro Test". This consisted in hydrolysing a sample of the eutectic into water,isolating the dry Green crude, dissolving it in eone:d, H2SO4 and determining the position of the absorption bands. When the maximum absorption band
is shifted to that of a sample with the desired goal
composition, then the eutectic melt is ready for lij.rclro3.ysis.

After laboratory cohalogenations had been shown to yield goal quality, two plant runs were made in February, I963J* at Chambers Works of the Organic .Chemicals Dpt. The equipment used was a 30O gal, glass-lined reactor with water Jet draft to elimi nate halogen fumes from the .area, a high stack with

steam injector, and a sampling port. These two runs were designed to reproduce the laboratory process (Table XV) using a 22$ Bromine excess . and an amount of Chlorine calculated by Eq. |Bj . More Bromine was used in Run 1 than in Run 2 because of an unintentional initial fast running into the kettle, in Run 1, of 200 lb. Bromine, a good deal of which was presumably not absorbed, and was swept out by the draft and lost. The details of these runs are given in Table VXi. The product compositions were not of goal quality. About one half of the Bromine used was recovered in the product, Bo Bromine could be detected in the eutectic melt at the end of the run. The rest of the Bromine which was used could only have been lost via the water Jet draft.
The product from Run 2, when given a Hewport type solvent breaching was about as yellow in shade as Harmon's 0-5400 (CPC Br8.3 016.4); the product from Run 1 was considerably bluer.
Cuprous chloride, in the ratio of 13$ of the weight of CPC, was used as the copper source in these plant runs, and proved effective in preventing replacement of copper by aluminum. The product on Run 2 analysed for 4.24$ Cu^ theory for CPC Brxo Oil.7 with mol. wt. 1493 is 4.25$ Cu.
2, Runs 3 and 4
These runs used more Bromine and/or Chlorine to compensate for some of the halogen loss during Runs 1 and 2, In addition, some changes were made in the equipment to reduce draft on the kettle and subsequent halogen loss. These runs were closely monitored by `'Completion1' tests and by visual com parison of hydrolyzed crude slurry color with similar laboratory slurries of goal composition crudes. The ''Completion" test, described in Appendix 0, depends on the depth of shade of a 90$ Ha-SQ*. solution of the eohalogen&ted green. A very faint shade of yellotr indicates the CPC molecule is com pletely halogenated,, This test is used to check completeness of chlorination in Orchem's regular eutectic CPC polyehlorin&tions.
Goal composition (12 or more Bromine atoms and at least 14,5 total halogen atoms) was obtained in both runs 3 and 4, The Composition - Time curves and the Halogen Use Curves are given in Figures 7, 8 and 12, 13* Completion tests indicated complete
DUP050027981

halogenation was obtained before the desired shade was obtained. Run 3 save a test for complete halogenation at 40 hr., 20 min. and Bun 4 at 32 hr.* 23 min. Since the shade became progressively yellower and the Bromine content increased after the initial positive completion tests, some exchange of ring-attached Chlorine 'ey Bromine must have occurred, although the analyses are not sufficiently precise to measure this change.
Analyses indicating sample composition are undoubtedly low compared to the actual formula. This is because of two reasons: 1) the analy tical procedure inherently entails some loss, and, 2} some impurities remain in the sample supplied for analysis, even after mixed-solvent washing. A prior: It is felt that when comple tion tests' are positive, then the halogen content must be 14.5 atoms of halogen or more.
Large excesses of Bromine were used in Runs 3 and 4, viz., 137# and 180# excess over that calculated to be necessary for a polybrom-CPC. Since completion, tests were positive for some time, before the ends of the runs, ana the Bromine contents were greater than .12 Bromine atoms,it is seen, in retrospect, then somewhat less Bromine could have been used in each run to obtain goal composition { h 12 Br and 2.4.5 total halogen atoms). Thus in Run 3, a satisfactory product appears to have been made at least by 40 hours running time, which corresponds to a Bromine usage of 3.,830 lbs. and a Bromine excess of 88# over that needed for a polybrom-CPC. In Run 4, such a product appears to have been made by 325 hours, corresponding to a Bromine usage of 2,330 lbs. and a Bromine excess of l4l#.
The percent excesses of total Halogen over theory (99# and 83# respectively""for Runs 3 and 4) do not appear too large for this type of operation. Hormal CPC chlorlnations at Chambers Works use 10 to 19 times the calculated amounts of Chlorine.
As indicated elsewhere (Fart V - E) the quality of Runs 3 and 4, after 08B, was equal to 3# strong in strength, noticeably yellow, and, in the case of Lot Ho. 3 also slightly intense, when worked up in the lab.

PRESENT WORK (ConVd)
D. 3., Runs 5j 6 and. 7
These runs were made in June, 1965, for the purposes of checking in the plant our 115$ Bromine Excess - Lab Process {see below) with reduced hold time and to make additional material for standardization. Runs No, 5 and 6 experienced difficulty with absorption of Bromine and Chlorine, This was because of malfunctioning of the tempera ture regulator* giving a considerably lower temp erature - 14 to 27C lower than called for (150C), One of the reasons for the mal-functioning was congealing of the oil in the thermocouple well. As a result of the lower temperature the viscosity of the melt was high* and because of this the efficiency of halogen absorption was reduced. The Halogen Use Curves for these Runs (Figures 9> 10., 11) show that very large Bromine excesses were used. Even with the large amount used in Run 5* the final material did not reach the desired /\max (Table TUI). The shape of the absorption curve itself at this time had become distorted from the usual (doublet) shape, showing a flattening. Since the.hold time had already been excessive by this time and the absorption curve was distorted, it was decided to hydrolyze, even though the A max. was not up to that desired (about 879 mu). This product, after lab-OSB (Orchem Type Solvent Breaching) was predictably quite blue vs, Suco GA-4318 (1800-33),
Run 6 also had difficulties with temperature control and used excessive amounts of Bromine but the A.max, was finally brought up (at 51 hr. running time) to 879 mu and hydrolyzed, (Table IX). The lab-OSB material was 5$ strong but still somewhat blue and distinctly dull vs. Suco GA-4818 (l800~33). Apparently this lot was contaminated to some extent with Lot 5.
In Run 7s the temperature controller worked nearly normal, although the temperature dropped off 10 toward the end of the run. The regulator was then set 10 high to account for this. The level of eutectic melt was also maintained higher in this Run 7 at a level 27" dry dip) to help ensure low viscosity and halogen absorption. The level was maintained by addition of Aids as needed as the run progressed. This Run 7 absorped both Bromine and Chlorine without difficulty as indi cated by the Halogen Use Curve (Figure 11) and the rapid rise of A max. to that desired - see Table X, The final lab-OSB material was about equal in strength to Suco GA~48i8, vs Yellow, vs. Intense. The masstone of this product was, however, light and similar to Suco, in contrast

V. PRESENT WORK (Cant'd)
D. 3- Runs gj 6 and 7 (Coni'd)
to those of Runs 5 and 6, 3 and 4, which were all very dark and transparent vs, Suco GA-4818.
The hydrolyses of Run 5, 6 and 7 all took place in a minimum of time (about 20 min.-30 min.) with no plugging or other operating difficulties. A quantity of hydrochloric acid (cone.) equal to 1/2 of the weight of starting CPC crude \?as added to the hydrolysis water in order to improve intensity of the final products. The temperature rise was from 25-55C. during the hydrolysis for all three runs.
The use of the Spectro Test for determining the end of the reaction appeared to be satisfactory for identifying the endpoint. An unavoidable time lag of 1.5-3 hours did occur between taking the sample and the appearance of the absorption curve, however, due to the time used for transporting the sample, making up the H2SO4 solution, etc. If a satisfactory endpoint was anticipated on a sample, then the flow of Bromine was cut down to a low level pending confirmation by the absorp tion curve.
4. Runs 8, 9> 10 and 11
These runs were cohalogenated in September, 1965. The 115/5 Bromine Excess process was used.
In Run 8 difficulty was experienced with pluggage of the Bromine line resulting in erratic flows to the reactor. In two instances, after partial Bromine line plugs broke loose, excessive Bromine flows caused the eutectic melt-pigment mixtures to erupt, ''bump", out of the kettle. This was corrected by installing a catch pot in the Bromine line to collect extraneous matter.
Runs 9 and 10 proceeded with no unusual diffi culties and could be considered typical of what could be done operation-wise without further process or equipment modification.
During Run 11, the Dowtherm heater shut down and while repairs were in progress, the reactor temperature dropped. On reheating the charge ''bumped" .

The halogen use curves for Runs 8, 9, 10, and 11 are shorn in P'igures 14, 15, 16 and 17. All of the lots finished to the desired spectrophotometric endpoint at Chambers Works.
5* Runs 123 13, 14 and 15 - Standardization Run
Runs 12, 13i 14 and 15 were cohalogenated at Chambers Works in January, 1966, according to Process I in the letter; W. E. Miller to J. W. Minnich, "Very Yellow Green CPC - Manu facture at Chambers Works", 4/15/64, (Appendix B) and as modified by the letter: W. E. Miller to P Dowd, "Monastral Past Green 4Y Crude - Spectrophotometric Absorption in Sulfuric Acid Solution",
12/27/65 (Appendix C).
Runs 12, 13 and 15 were normal cohalogenatlons
and finished at the desired spectrophotometric
absorption peaks when the pigment was dissolved
in sulfuric acid. The endpoint is a Amax. value
between 878 and 882 m/- . At this Amax. value,
the A min. should be between 835 and Q4o m /*-.
On Run 14, however, Orchem could not go beyond
a Amax. of 872 m^/- . All of the known ways to
increase Bromine absorption were tried; i.e.,
adding aluminum chloride and heating to a higher
temperature to obtain a thinner melt; adding
chlorine and Bromine intermittently over an
extended period of time. The 872

1. Initial Work on Newport-Type Solvent Breaching (NTSB)
Laboratory Solvent Breechings (SB) of either lab or plant synthesised very yellow shade greens gave results in t'ne beginning very similar by rub out. This procedure for SB v/as the same as that which is used on Green G. vis... about a 1:1 ratio of ODGB to pigment and 3.5# Staybelite. On lab synthesized greens, this NTSB procedure gave products 10-40# weak vs. Suco GA-4Bi8; on the plant materials from Runs 3 and 4. the solvent breached products were 10-15# weak by rubout, and dull. In 30J alkyd these products were also 15-20# weak.
2. Changes in the Eutectic Melt
a. Effect of Temperature Before Hydrolysis
A eutectic melt of Aids, NaCl, KG1 and FeCl3 from a lab bnomination of CPC, containing a VYS Green of composition CPC Brig.6 Clp.6 was separated into three parts at different tempera tures, viz., 100, 150, 2G0C. Each part v/as hyd.ro3.yzed into water -I- HC1 -J- ice and then given a NTSB with ODGB. By rubout, the products became slightly stronger but also noticeably duller as temperature increased.
(TSC-97-25)
b. Reheating of a Eutectic Melt Before Hydrolysis
The solid melt from the No. 4 Plant Run was reheated - first to 150C and second, to 300G. and then hydrolyzed into water, solvent breached (NTSB) and the products from the two temperatures compared. The 300C product was distinct stronger and bluer than the 150C product, indicating con siderable halogen exchange, which was confirmed by analysis:
CPC Brig.5 CI0.9 ----CPC Brio.5 CI4.5
This product v/as not, however, more intense.
The 150C product v/as also compared to that obtained by NTSB of the initial No. iJ Plant Presscake. This showed that considerable blueing off occurred ,just by letting the melt stand at room temperature and then heating to 150C. This was confirmed by analysis.

E. 3 Changes in Hydrolysis
a. Temperature of Hydrolysis Water and Method of..Filtration
Laboratory experiments changing the tempera ture of the hydrolysis water were made before Plant Runs Nos. 3 and 4. Three different condi tions were used:
1) Cold water (10C) with continuous hydrolysis.
2) Cold water (10C) with batch hydrolysis.
3) Hot water (70C) with batch hydrolysis.
The continuous hydrolysis gave after KTSB, distinct dullness and a lightening of masstone; the use of hot water gave even more dullness. All hydrolyses from this point on were then made into cold x;ater with batch hydrolysis.
(TSC-86-16, 17)
b. Changes in the Hydrolysis Medium
Another change in hydrolysis involved the use of HC1 in the hydrolysis water. The HC1 was added in order to ensure that no aluminum hydroxide precipitates upon hydrolysis of Aluminum Chloride. Wo particular strength difference was noted after NTSB betvreen hydrolysis with or without HC1 but the hydrolysis with HC1 gave aproduct which appeared slightly more intense.
(TSC-97-13)
A mixture of HQA.C and water (50/50) for hydrolysis showed no change after solvent breaching.
An equal mixture of Methanol and water gave a product 6$ weak, and very dull.
A mixture of Methanol, water and Arquad 16-29 gave an extremely weak product.
(TSC-97-29)
c. Use of Various Media (Water, water + ODCB, Water -f Methanol'etc. ) "for Hydrolysis of Sutectic Melt Containing fereen Y

4. Changes In Newport-Type Solvent Breaching
a. Surfactants Other Than Staybelite
The NTSB procedure currently used for Green 0 (N-764) stipulates about a one to one ratio of ODCB to green pitment and Staybelite in the amount 3.5% of pigment weight.
Extensive testing of an anionic surfactant, G-3300, in place of all or part of the Staybelite Indicated there was no significant advantage over the use of Staybelite.
(TSC-97-5)
b. Solvents Other Than ODCB
CCI4 in the amount of 87$ and 172^ of the 'weight of green pigment was used in place of the ODCB in NTSB, giving products extremely weak vs. the Control with ODCB. Benzene, in the amount of 70$ of pigment weight, also gave relative weak ness, although not as weak as with CCI4.

Shade remains unchanged hut the masstone depth becomes progressively lighter as more ODCB is used. The optimum ODCB level may be at about 86-100$ by weight of pigment. The rubout strength., however,, was still about 15$ less than Suco GA-4818.
5 Treatments After Hewport-Type Solvent Breaching
a. Oxidizing Treatment with NaClOs
Oxidizing treatments of CPC greens have been previously used to improve intensity. (PTC-oO-7). On solvent breached VYS Greens from lab and plant synthesis* a treatment with NaClOa and H2SO4 was found to improve intensity but gave weakness and a lighter masstone by rubout. In 30J alkyd, no particular effect on strength in tint was noted and the product was more intense, but the metallic was dis tinctly lighter.
(TSC-86-12, 19)
b. HgS.04 - Arquad 16 Treatment
Hot acid extraction of the solvent breached VYS Greens {H2SO4 + Arquad 16 - about 2$ of pigment) was found to give 5-10$ increase in strength in 30J alkyd and more intensity in both tint and metallic* By rubout, however, the acid extracted products were slightly weaker.
(TSC-97-5)
An increase, to 5$ Arquad 16 later gave improvement in quality, as did also the use of 3$ Armac T,
(TSC-97-28).
Quality was still deficient vs. competitive Suco GA-4818.
c. Antiflocculating Agents for Very Yellow Shade IWsTGriehs---- -t*-*-*-*^---------^-------------- ---------
The impetus for the use of these agents arose from the observation that flocculation or a strength difference arose between the sprayed and poured sections of 30J alkyd paint panels when the solvent breached VYS Greens were
DUP050028009
-53-
V. PRESENT WORK (Cont'd)
E. 5. e. (Cont'a)
used. Since flocculation in CPC blues is ameliorated by use of CPC-AF or CPC-monosulfonate, similar types of green agents were investigated.
The first agent investigated was a water-soluble dye from Orchem ~ Chambers Works called Pontamine Past Green PG (PPG). This is a Chlorinated CPC - tetrasulfonic acid, admixed with Sodium Pyrophosphate diluent, and is prepared by chlorination of CPC - tetrasulfonic acid in a AlCl3-KG:l-NaCl eutectic melt.
PPG was wet blended with solvent breached VYS Greens from Plant Runs #3 and #4 at levels of 5 to 10$. The agent was precipitated on the VYS Green by the addition of Calcium ion in neutral solution. On both of the VYS Greens, PFG gave noticeable improvement in strength (4-10$) of flocculation resistance and slightly more intensity in alkyd tint compared to controls without PPG. The metallies become slightly duller. No overstripe bleed could be seen with 10$ PPG. in comparison with Suco GA-4818 these products were, however, still some 3-10$ weak.
There is no doubt about the improvement in flocculation resistance brought about by PPG. Since it itself is a VYS Green - much yellower than regular Green G - it does not materially detract from the shade of the hrominated VYS CPC Greens. Light fastness results on the PPG treated products is not yet available. A serious obstacle to its use is its price, quoted by Orchem at $50/lb. It appears to be an experi mental product, and is made by Orchem for only one customer, Procter & Gamble.
(TSC-97-14, 16)
Other Anti-Flocculating Agents
No other suitable agents are available commercially. It was therefore necessary to synthesize such agents ourselves. As starting materials, there are available from Orchem (A) CPC ~ monosulfonate (CPC-MS); (B) Pontamine Past Turquoise 8 GL, which is CPC(S03H)2.535 and (C) CPC ~ tetrasulfonic acid. The correspond ing halogenated agents should be available by halogenation in eutectic melt. The halogenation of (A), (B) and (C) could be done in a manner similar to that used for PFG to give a product of suitable shade, and then the halogenated

E. 5. c* Other Anti-FIpeculating Agents (Cont*d)
agent could be blended with VYS Green. Alternately, a mixture of CPC crude 4either (A), (B) or (C) could be itself halogenated to a VYS Green.
6. Alternate Methods of Particle Size Reduction
Various methods for particle size reduction of Green Y crudes were used in the lab, e.g., dispersion milling, acetone milling and acid swelling. Dispersion milling and acetone milling of Green Y Crude, Lot Wo. 3 gave products which were weaker in tint in 30J Alkyd, and also duller than the corresponding WTSB products. Flocculation resistance of both dispersion milled and acetone milled products were equally as poor as the NTSB products. By rubout, the acetone milled products were a little stronger than the NTSB products but were dull.
(TSC-97-7)
Acid swelling of pulverized Green Y crudes was done with mixtures of conesd. H3SO4 and Oleum, the ratio of cone *d. HaSO* to Oleum depending upon the particular Green Y crude used* The acid swelled products were much yellower and much duller than the corresponding NTSB products. The particles of acid swelled Green Y showed long transparent crystals, which, in a paint grind, break up, giving bluer shades, Strength of the acid swelled products varied from equality with the NTSB products to very weak.
(TSG-97-1, 3> 4)
7, Brominatlon of a Purified CPC Blue
In order to see if the dullness of the Green Y was due to impurities in the starting CPC crude, our Newport LC crude was extensively purified by solvent washing and acid and alkaline extraction before brominatlon. After brominatlon to goal composition (CPC Br^ 2 C11 34) and & NTSB, the quality was compared io a similar product from unpurified CPC crude. The comparison showed that the purified crude did not give a more intense Green Y but, on the contrary, gave a distinctly duller and weaker product. An explanation of these results may be that the impurities act in the eutectic melt to keep pigmentary particles

E. 8. The Use of Orchem's Solvent Breaching (QSB)
a. Initial Results
The solvent breaching done at Chambers Works differs from that done at Newport i-n a number of respects, including the use of 2-ethoxyethanol, the use of stearic acid In place of "Staybelite", the use of an ODCB reflux period and the fact that particular attention is paid to obtain minimum water content in the slurry. This process, applied to Green Y crudes, gave for the first time, products stronger than Suco GA-481S competi tive in strength. In 30J Alkyd this product was, however, still weak vs. Suco GA-48l8, apparently as a result of poorer flocculation resistance.
b. Peroxides From 2-Sthoxyethanol
A question has been raised on the nature of hazard to be expected in the possible formation of peroxides from 2-ethoxyethanol during the Orchem Type solvent breaching. Even though Orchem at Chambers Works has had long experi ence with 2-ethoxyethanol in solvent breaching, it was still considered desirable to check for the presence of peroxides formed during solvent breaching. For this purpose,, a number of solvent breachings using 2-ethoxyethanol were mad:and the filtered liquid media tested. Analytical methods were tried titrating with permanganate the usual method for determining peroxide. Howeven, it was found that the 2-ethoxyethanol itself consumed permanganate also. Vapor-phase Chroma tography (VFC) was then used. In this test, 2-ethoxyethanol was heated with caustic and HaOa in solution. When this solution was checked by VPG, peaks were identified for air, water and 2-ethoxyethanol but no foreign peaks were present, indicating the absence of any peroxide of 2-ethoxyethanol. The temperature of the column (LAC-247) used for VPG was 150C, which might cause breakdown of the peroxide of 2-ethoxyethanol, but since there -were no foreign peaks at all (corresponding to breakdown products of the peroxide of 2-ethoxyethanol) and no peak for oxygen was present, it is concluded that formation of the peroxide of 2-ethoxyethanol in the system of water, caustic and 2-ethoxyethanol used for the Orchem-Type solvent breaching is extremely improbable.

V. PRESBHT WORK (Cant'd)
. 9* Treatments Subsequent to OSB for Paint and Plastics
a. Flocculation Problem in Paint
Various treatments of the Green Y obtained by OSB were tried to improve flocculation resistance in 30J Alkyd. These included pre cipitation of the calcium salt of Pontamine Fast Green~PG, precipitation of 3$ Aluminum Blancolate or from 5-10$ Aluminum Benzoate (AlBz). The optimum treatment for 30J Alkyd was found to be precipitation of 5$ Aluminum Benzoate, giving a product 10$ strong, better in flocculation resistance, slightly yellow and equal in intensity vs. Suco GA-4818, This product was also the one which gave the best performance in the Universal Vehicle (Bennett Co.).
At this time, however, it was noted that new vehicles urere being used in automotive use, e.g., 32J Acrylic and High Gloss Lucite (HGL). In these vehicles the 5$ AlBz product showed poorer behaviour relative to Suco GA-4818 than in 30J Alkyd, Pontamine Fast Green PG and Aluminum Blancolate were also ineffective in 32J and HGL. For these vehicles, additional changes were made necessary.
Use of Derivatives of Benzoic Acid
Instead of AlBz, various metal salts of benzoic acid derivatives were used, e.g.. Aluminum and Barium salts of the following derivatives:
TABLE XIV
Benzoic Acid Derivatives Used
For Flocculation Resistance in 32J and HGL

V. PRESENT WORK (Cont'd)
E 9* a, Use of Derivatives of Benzoic Acid (Cont'd)
The Barium salts were used in those cases where the Aluminum salts were too soluble., e.g., B, G, D, E, F, G. Of these salts, the Ba salt of Trimellitie Acid (BaTM) and Xylene Sulfonic Acid gave the most significant improvement in flocculation resistance at levels of about 3$ of the pigment.
It was later found, in treatment of the Plant-Breached slurry of Green Y for paint use, that Aluminum Benzoate at a low level - about 2$ - gave products comparable in flocculation resistance to those made with the Aluminum or Barium salts of benzoic acid derivatives listed above.
Changes in OSB to Improve Performance in 32J and HGL
Flocculation resistance and/or strength was also improved by changing the Orchem Type of Solvent Breaching. Staybelite was substituted for Stearic acid and the amount of 2-ethoxyethanol solvent was increased to one and one-half times the usual amount. These changes made the solvent-breached slurry slow to filter, however, and for this reason an acid treatment was added onto the solvent breaching after the distillation, and before filtration. At this time the surfactant Emcol P-10-59 was also used in a heat development along with the acid (HaSO^) treatment. This slurry filtered satisfactorily.
b. Treatments for Plastics (Vinyl)
The dispersibility in soft vinyl was checked by the 5 cut vs. 15 cut dispersibility test. The first lab products made by the OSB and finishing on the alkaline side were slightly better than Suco GA-4818 in dispersibility and strength, A simple switching from alkaline to strongly acid (with H2SO4) before filtration gave poor dispersi bility, but if surfactants such as N-Methyl-2Pyrroiidone or Emcol P-10-59 are also used along with the acid in a heat treatment, then dispersi bility is markedly improved. Striking of Calcium Staybelite or Aluminum Benzoate bn the OSB-Aeidtreated slurry also gave products of much better dispersibility than Suco GA-4818,
(106-21, 42, 43) laboratory striking of the OSB-acid treated slurry (Plant run - XOP-295) showed that good dispersi bility was obtained.

F. Relationship of Composition to Quality of Green Y
Bromine atoms are considerably larger than chlorine atoms and steric considerations are more important when Bromine is attached to CFG than when Chlorine is. Mole cular models of polybrom-CPC cannot be easily constructed. Substitution of bromine atoms in adjacent positions on the CPC tend to distort the bromine atoms from the plane of the CPC ring with consequent interruption of resonance
interactions. The greatest amount of distortion would
take place when the last bromine atom is placed on the CPC ring to make polybrom-CPC. The suggestion has thus been made that the fully halogenated CPC molecule may
accommodate 12 bromine atoms without undue steric hind rance if the rest of the positions are taken up with
chlorine atoms. Substitution with more than 12 bromine atoms was suggested to lead to greatly increased dullness and a disproportionate loss of strength in comparison with molecular weight,
In order to test this idea, it was necessary to pre pare products of lower bromine contents in a way similar to that in which the plant eohalogenations. Lot No. 3
and Lot No, 4 were made. This was done by reintroducing Lot No. 3 crude Green V into a A1C13-NaCl-CuCl eutectic
melt and passing in a calculated amount of chlorine. This gave products of composition close to that of the competitive Suco GA-4818. These crude slurries were then given an QSB (with 2-ethoxyethanol) with final quality as shown in the following Table.

These results show only a very slight trend in strength,
which is apparently directly proportional to change in molecular weight.
Another comparison was made of compositions slightly lower in bromine content by acid pasting from warm fuming sulfuric acid solutions of the Greens. An apparent strength difference of 19$ was found between
CPC Brxi.6 CI3,3 (Strength 91) and CPC Bri2.9 CI1.6 (Strength 112), However, this last product was 12$
weak vs, Sueo GA 48l8 whereas by OSB it was equal in strength, so that the method of finishing has an influence. Also it was later found l^aat Green Y decomposes in
heated sulfuric acid solutions, so that this later com parison does not appear to hold.
It may be concluded that, at least within the
indicated range of bromine content - from 12 to 13,6 that composition has little effect on strength, shade or intensity,
G. Plant Solvent Breaching by O.S,,B. of Green Y Crude
wrmn------
The modified type of Orchem3s Solvent Breaching developed in the lab to optimize performance in end use systems such as 321 and high gloss Lucite was used in
the Newport Plant on Green Y, Lot No, 3, under X0P-295. Some equipment changes were made to the still to permit relaxing. A sulfuric acid extraction was used preceding the breaching in order to bring intensity up to the maximum. Quantities used in the breaching were as follows?
Green Y (dry) Water (from presscake)
2-Ethoxyethanol Caustic (N-7)
1,000 lb. 2,110 lb.
525 lb. 15 Gal.

The extraction with sulfuric acid subsequent to breaching used:
565 lb. 93$ H2SO4 48 lb. Emcol P-10-59
1,230 gal, Water
Only minor operating difficulties were present during the breaching. Some contamination with Green B occurred during the transfer from still to extraction tan!? - probably as a result of contamination in the lines. This caused the product to be considerably bluer and duller than the corresponding lab product. Rubout strengths however, was equivalent to the lab product, and was 3-4$ strong vs. Suco GA--4S18, G# 64-706.

The cause of the poor plant solvent breached quality was not Known although it appeared to be a texture problem: 1. e,, the rubout strength of the weak lots could be improved by increasing the number
of mulls on the Hoover Muller. By re-extracting the weak lots in the laboratory the quality could be brought into line (Table - HEM-3).

parency3 essentially equal in "flip-flop"., but weak and dull in tint compared to GT-805-P Lot 00062.
Initial tests at Chestnut Run indicated that quality could be significantly varied by changing milling condi
tions but subsequent extensive testing has proved other
wise. There is some improvement in gloss and strength with increased milling time but no more than would be expected with other pigments. There were no significant changes due to variation in pigment/binder or pigment/ solvent ratios,

V. PRESENT WORK (ConVd)
H, Newark Finishing of Green Y, Lot No, 3 {Serai-Works) (Cont*d)
Two semi-works finishings of the solvent-breached (OSB) Green Y were made. Semi-works finishing was preferred at this time because of the limited amount of Green Y (N-9^9) available but primarily to avoid contamination with regular Green B or Green G or CPC Blue which is likely to occur in the plant.
The first used a treatment with 2$ Emcol + HaSO^, and heat* giving a product coded GT-804-D* Lot 00061* designed for use in paint. This run of about 200 pounds showed no operating difficulties except that a too rapid steam sparging gave some foam overflow. A low speed pulverization in the 8" semi-works mill was used.
The second finishing was with 2% Aluminum Benzoate giving a product coded GT-305-D* Lot 00062-R* designed for use in plastics. This run of about 164 pounds yield showed no operating difficulties. This product was pulverized lot; speed in the 8" semi-works mill* but was improved by a repulverization* giving signifi cantly improved dispersibility in vinyl.

In general, in paint 5 the tints are a little on the weak side but the metalllcs, especially the high metallics, are not weak and give better flip-flop than Suca GA 48l8. The intensity in metallies is
also good compared to Suco* but not in tint.
An outdoor exposure series to test durability of Green Y in 32J and High Gloss Lucite has been started. Previous tests were in 30<I vehicle and indicated "Monastral" type lightfastness at 12 months exposure.

This shows the improved dispersibility of GT-805-D over GT-804-D. The re pulverization of Lot 00062-R was necessary to improve dispersibility in vinyl although no change was evident by a rubout dispersibility test. The method of pulverization., i.e. mill size and speed, was found to greatly influence dispersibility as shown by the following Table.

Best results v;ere with the 5" mill at High Speed
(HS) but this size mill cannot be used except for very small samples. Future lots of the code for plastics., GT-805"Ds will be pulverised once at high speed.
Quality of C-T~805-D, Lot 00062-R, for plastics was significantly poorer than the corresponding laboratory product (lSOO -IE). "This difference was not only the result of a different pulverization {8" RS Bill for semi-works material vs. 5" HS mill for the lab product) since a similar pulverization
of the semi-works dry, lump, material in the 5" BS mill did not bring quality up to that of the lab product. Ho explanation was immediately evident
for this difference. Different drying temperatures
have been checked in the lab, but this does not
appear to be the explanation.
Samples of GT-8o4-D, Lot 00051 and GT-805-D, Lot 00062-H were sent to Chestnut Run for their
evaluation in May, 1965- {iSoo-l, 12, 19)
Preliminary reports have indicated that GT-805-D is preferred for both paint and. plastics over GT-804-D,,
Aluminum Benzoate Lake of Green Y for F&F
A 2 Eg, sample of a product (labelled 1800-19G) was sent to Chesnut Run for testing and sampling to F&F in May, 1969. The lake may be preferable to the toner for their use to avoid any ''plating out" problem in their circulating system for "Lucite" acrylic resins. This product was made in an analogous
way to GL~76l~D and analyzes for a 42.9$ toner content.

<3T-.805-D, Lot 36743 and Lot 36765 were inferior to the semi-works standard., Lot 00062, In 32J, both plant lots showed evidence of flocculation with Lot 36743 being the worst. Tinting strength of the
plant lots as 50-50 metallies was also weaker.
All four lots of 1-949 used in making the plant
finished GT-S05-L smelled strongly of CDOB. Lot M
of N-949s which appeared to be the worst, contained 9% 0DC3 bn a CFG basis. Previous laboratory work indicated that this can have an adverse affect on quality.
Based on reboot results, GT-805-0 appeared to be a very hard textured pigment. To determine if this
was a factor in the weakness of the plant lots, a miniraum-meudmira rubout test was used:
vs. 7.:s. 50 (1!

Although the plant lots were somewhat worse, texture probably isnft a significant factor in the differences between the semi-works and plant GT-805-D.

It was concluded that GT-805-D, as represented by Lot 86509-2 was a satisfactory match for semiworks Lot 00062. Although slightly weak and less intense, it could he effectively promoted against Suco's GA~48l8 because of superior transparency.

The higher optical densities for the Green Y products indicates additional strength, confirming the rub out strength advantage of 3~5$, but all samples were very close in ultimate particle size. The higher ratio of Homog./Hot Homog. for these samples corresponded with a greater tendency for these particular samples of Green Y, to flocculate in 32J vehicle.

If the resolution of the spectrophotometer is
good enough, the curve for absorption of CPC Greens
exhibits two absorption peaks in the 650-950
range. If the resolution is not too good, e.g., if
the slit width on the DK-2 Beckman is too wide, then
the doublet is not resolved. The Cary (Process
Research) and the DK-2A (Elastomers Control Lab) at
Orchem Chambers Works adequately resolved the doublet.
The DK-2 instrument at Hewark must use a minimum
slit width In order to do this. The position of
the doublet

limited experience, to roughly parallel the Bromine
content and yellowness (as pigments) of the completely
halogenated CFG Greens. (See Section VI-C).

J Preparation of Hexadecabromo - CPC
A brominated CPC containing 16 bromine atoms was desired for comparison of shade and intensity with
those products containing 12 or 13 bromine atoms.

The present procedure used a eutectic melt of AlBr3, NaBr, KBr and CuBra + CPC at 200C for 27 hr* with a large excess of bromine. The product (15 g.) was purified by dissolving in a mixture of 100 cc Cone'd HaSO^ * 85 ce 30$ Oleum*, and filtering thru sintered glass, and then acid pasting.

Since the Cu analyses were low, it was thought that some metal-free complex may be present. it was found possible to insert copper metal into the molecule by the following treatment; Dissolving in HaSO^-Oleum
mixture, acid paste into water, transferring the slurry to IMS' and then heating with CuBra at the reflux tempera
ture of DMF. This product then analysed for 3.14$ average) Cu. The appearance of the product was also
changed from a very dark crystalline blue to a soft green powder by this procedure. Not enough of this
metallized product was available for evaluation as a pigment, but the precursor (analysing for 2.80$
Cu) vrhen solvent breached and compared to Suco GA-4818
was quite dull, somewhat yellower, about equal strength.
Apparently the utility of CPC Br^g as a pigment
is still an open question. There is an apparent ten
dency toward demetallization during the bromination which might be overcome by use of larger amounts of CuBra in the eutectic melt. If a product much yellower than Suco GA-4818, 'with 12 Bromine atoms is eventually
desired, such as one with 14.5 to 15 Bromine atoms, then some changes in the eutectic bromination might be needed to obtain maximum intensity.

vtl. PATBHT SITUATION Conclusions have been drawn by A, J, Stratton^*12)3
as follows; 1, PolybroMo CFG is an old product fully disclosed in
U,,3, 2,276,860 which is now expired. 2. Bromination of CFG in an Aicis-Haci melt in the
presence of catalysts is disclosed in u.S, 2,247,758, owned by DuPont and now expired. 3 The steps of isolating the pigment by treating with an emulsion of ODCB in the presence of an alkali and of a fatty substance such as stearic acid is disclosed in' U,S 2,833,782 owned by DuPont. 4. Competitive V. S. patents concerned with bromination of CPC do not specifically claim any steps presently used by us. On the basis of the above conclusions, it is.the opinion of A. J, Stratton and confirmed by Legal that DuPont is free to manufacture and sell Green Y as presently contemplated.

-83VIJI, FUTURE WORK
A few -things need to be done to improve economy in the eohaXogenation at Chambers Works. Primarily these involve changes in equipment, especially the installation of a condenser on the kettle in order to prevent loss of the elemental Bromine through the stack. These equipment changes are described by W. E. Miller in a letter W. E. Miller to J. W. Minnich (Appendix B),
Better performance of the finished Green Y product in acrylic tints where they are weak vs. Suco GA-4818 would also be desirable. Greater dispersibility in plastics appears to be definitely attainable since the plant product GT-805-D, Lot 000.62R was considerably poorer in dispersibility than the corresponding lab product,
Longer range projects could explore the possibility of making a product of even greater yellowness than GT-805-B, but with equal intensity.

Brominated metal-free phthalocyanines were obtained by heating either metal-free phthalocyanine or copper phthalocyanine with elemental Br2 in sealed vessels up to 300C. The products contain from 11-12.6 atoms of bromine per molecule. Metal-free phthalocyanine is more readily haloganated than the metal phthalocyanines. CPC is demetallized during the bromination to give brominated MF-phthalocyanine. (No source of copper was used in the reaction),
Brominated Nickel and Zinc phthalocyanines were also made but in these cases demetallization was not complete. The Nickel compound, with 9.7 Br atoms was "bluish green", the Zinc compound, with 12,3 Bromine atoms, was "yellowish green".
The MF-PC with 11 Br atoms was described as "bright green" and 11 very fast to light".
Chlorinations were also conducted, either with elemental chlorine or in media such as SOCI3, sulfur chloride or sulfuryl chloride and with aluminum chloride.

Manufacture would be in the eutectic melt process equipment in the HMonastr&ln Building at Chambers Works where four previous trial batches were made. With minor revisions for increasing effi ciency and reducing costs, the equipment is adequate. The proposed changes and a brief explanation of the need for each are tabulated belowx
1. Seal the Reactor
The reactor is currently operated under a negative pressure preventing leakage of chlorine or bromine into the working area* To reduce losses of bromine, it is desirable to operate the Very yellow Shade green process at essentially atmospheric pressure (slightly positive). To do this, requires the following revisions:
(a) Provide unused reactor nozzles with bolted blank flanges,
(b) Make naeessa-ry changes to the reactor agitator packing gland to insure a tight seal.
.(c) Provide a positive closing mechanism for the charging chute.
(d) Provide a rupture disc line.
(e) Alter vent lines to prevent leakage.

B. Letter HEM to JM - Page 3
2. Improve Bromine Addition Facilities
In previous experimental runs at Changers Works, long delays were experienced in waiting for the bromine portable tanks to be filled and transported to the "Monastral,! operating area. As a minimum proposal, it is recommended that an adequate number of portable tanks be furnished to prevent delays. Also it is suggested a dual piping and scale set-up be provided to reduce the time required to switch bromine tanks.
Bromine was charged via a straight pipeline under the surface. Addition rate was controlled by adjustment of flow through a bullseye and by scale weight difference. It is recommended that bromine be added by a rotameter (0-500 ee/minute). The scale would still be used for cheeking addition rate.
3 * Improve Chlorine Addition Facilities
A 150 lb. cylinder equipped with a Calrod heating coil was used for adding chlorine during the experi mental runs. The Calrod heating coil was inadequate and it was necessary for the operator to play live steam on the cylinder to maintain the pressure. It is recommended that a heating mantle be purchased into which the cylinder can be laced.
A scale, pressure gauges, needle valve and rotameter (oTM100 lbs./hr.) are required for proper control of addi tion rate.
As an alternative, the existing chlorine system used for chlorination of greens, could be adapted for the smaller addition rate,
^, Bromine Condenser
To minimise bromine addition time, bromine is added in excess. To keep bromine losses to a minimum, it is recommended that a condenser be installed in the vent line to return bromine to the reactor. It should be a single pass. Monel condenser with 130 square feet of heat transfer area. The vapors would be vented through a jacketed section of vent piping down three the con denser, Bromine would be returned to the reactor and non-condensables vented to the stack, A by-pass should be provided around the condenser to permit cleaning.

Whs carve for absorption of CPC greens exhibits two absorption
peaks in the 650-950 m/*-7 range. The position of the doublet parallels the bromine content and yellowness (as pigments') of the completely halogenated CPC greens.
The endpoint is a max, value between 878 and 882 m/^ At this max. value the PVmtrn should be between 835 and 840 sis's-'1
To obtain this endpoint on the 580 pound, 10 crude batch
size, approximately 2,900 pounds of bromine is added at the
120 .lb,/hr, rate. This should give a/'imax, value of 865
or above. Then add chlorine at the rate of 50 lbs./hr, for
4 hours. After4the chlorine addition,, return to adding bromine
at a slow rate (approx. 20 lbs./hr,) until the spectrophoto-
saetric curve is obtained, This should give the -desired {p\ max.
