PROCESS OF PRODUCING CHLORINE GAS BY CATALYTIC OXIDATION OF HYDROGEN CHLORIDE

摘要

A process of producing chlorine gas by catalytic oxidation of hydrogen chloride including: incorporating an oxidizing agent such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide solution etc. into a gas stream of hydrogen chloride containing impurities, conducting oxidation pretreatment of the gas stream under the action of ultrasonic wave, such that the impurities contained in the gas stream are oxidized; wherein the oxidizing agent does not generate additional or new impurities in the reaction system, where the gas stream obtained after the oxidation pretreatment is allowed to pass through a separating device wherein the oxidized impurities in the form of liquid and/or the oxidized impurities in the form of solid are removed from the gas stream so as to obtain a purified gas stream of hydrogen chloride, and thereafter the purified gas stream of hydrogen chloride is well mixed with a gas stream containing molecular oxygen, the resultant gas mixture is preheated to a reaction temperature, and then catalytically oxidized to produce chlorine gas, thus by means of oxidation pretreatment and separation, the process can remove efficiently the sulfur-containing impurities, the halogen-containing impurities, hydrocarbon impurities and the like from the gas stream of hydrogen chloride, and does not generate additional impurities.
