Embodiments of the present disclosure include a process for the production of chlorine gas. For the various embodiments, the process includes compressing a gas mixture of vaporized liquid chlorine ( 104 ) and a feed gas containing chlorine ( 102 ) to form a compressed gas. Chlorine in the compressed gas is condensed into liquid chlorine ( 120 ). A first portion of the liquid chlorine is vaporized to provide a heat of condensation to condense chlorine from the compressed gas into liquid chlorine. A second portion of the liquid chlorine ( 126 ) is vaporized to provide both the vaporized liquid chlorine for the gas mixture and a heat of condensation to cool a tail gas ( 122 ) from the process. A chlorine gas product ( 114 ) from the vaporized first portion of the liquid chlorine is also produced. |
