Process for the production of gaseous hydrogen bromide and apparatus for carrying out said process

摘要

A process for the preparation of hydrogen bromide by the direct combustion of bromine in hydrogen, as in the reaction :-H2 + Br2 -> 2HBr -by the following stages :- -the forming of an intimate mixture of hydrogen and a combustion supporter in a chamber at a pressure equal or more than atmospheric ; -ignition of the mixture at the exit of the mixing chamber ; -replacement of part or all of the combustion supporter by a current of vapourised bromine at an appropriate H2/Br2 molar ratio to maintain a stable flame at the exit of the chamber and in a combustion zone to obtain a complete combustion of the bromine ; -cooling of the gases in a cooling zone ; then -recovery of the gaseous hydrogen bromide current at 1 bar absolute(min.) and at 125 degrees C. maximum. Also claimed, is the installation for effecting the process.
