SALT HANDLING APPARATUS FOR A HYPOCHLOROUS ACID REACTOR

摘要

PCT-10160 An elongated, generally vertically extending reactor vessel (15) for the production of hypochlorous acid by the mixing and reaction of a liquid alkali metal hydroxide and a gaseous halogen is provided with solids discharge handling apparatus (45) connected to the bottom (19) to remove the solid by-product. The discharge handling apparatus (45) uses the solids to effect a seal to prevent the intrusion of outside air into the reactor (10) and the escape of halogen and product gas to the outside atmosphere.
