In a method for producing chlorine comprising oxidizing hydrogen chloride present in a gas containing the hydrogen chloride using a gas containing oxygen in a fixed bed reaction system having a reaction region comprising catalyst-packed layer, an improvement which comprises conducting the oxidation reaction with a superficial linear velocity of the gas of 0.70 to 10 m/sec is disclosed. This method enables the inhibition of formation of excess hot spots and effective utilization of the catalyst-packed layers, which results in maintaining stable activity of the catalyst and in the production of chlorine in high yield with good stability. |
