A method of forming chlorine hydrate is described which generally comprises, combining liquid chlorine with an aqueous liquid, and removing the heat of hydrate formation. This method may also include the steps of mixing the liquid chlorine with the aqueous liquid, and cooling the chlorine hydrate to provide a pressure decrease. However, in accordance with the present invention, no refrigeration of the aqueous liquid is required, as the heat of formation may be released to a substantially room temperature environment.

A method of forming chlorine hydrate, comprising the steps of: (a) providing a vessel capable of being sealed off from the ambient environment; (b) adding a quantity of an aqueous liquid to said vessel; (c) adding liquid chlorine into said vessel in a quantity such that a portion of the liquid chlorine evaporates until the pressure in said vessel is below 100 psig, but above those chlorine vapor pressures necessary for the formation of chlorine hydrate in the temperature range +6°C. to +20°C., and said pressure is maintained throughout the formation of chlorine hydrate; (d) sealing the vessel; (e) allowing the quantity of aqueous liquid to react with the remaining liquid chlorine to form chlorine hydrate; and (f) removing the heat of hydrate formation to an environment having a temperature of approximately +6°C. up to a room temperature of approximately 26°C.
