METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION OF CHLORINE BY MEANS OF GAS PHASE OXIDATION OF HYDROGEN CHLORIDE

摘要

Preparation of chlorine involves passing hydrogen chloride and gas stream comprising molecular oxygen in a reactor (1) having parallel catalyst tubes (2) charged with fixed-bed catalyst and at least one deflector plate (6) perpendicular to the reactor. The plates leave passages on opposite sides of the reactor free next to its interior wall. A liquid heat transfer medium circulates between tubes.
