SOLID CHLORIDE ABSORBENT

摘要

A solid chloride absorbent which is capable of effeciently absorbing inorganic chlorides such as hydrogen chloride discharged from a process for treating heavy naphtha with a catalyst activated with an organic chloride or the like or inorganic chlorides derived from crude oil, and which is neither pulverized nor softened after the absorption of the chlorides. This absorbent comprises zinc oxide, a porous refractory inorganic substance and an inert binder. It is difficultly pulverized or softened after the absorption of the chlorides and thus usable for a long period of time. In addition, the chlorides absorbed therein are difficultly desorbed.
