Abstract:
With a method for utilization of the reaction heat that occurs in the production of 1,2-dichloroethane from ethylene, by reaction with oxygen and hydrochloride (oxychlorination), in a fluidized bed reactor, with dissipation of this reaction heat through cooling pipe bundles situated within the reactor, positioned in the fluidized bed, utilization of the heat is supposed to be improved, while simultaneously reducing the size of the corresponding system elements. This is achieved in that part of the reaction heat is dissipated by heating boiler feed water, whereby the heated boiler feed water is used to heat heat sinks in the production process.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for using reaction heat produced by reaction during the production of 1,2-dichloroethane from ethylene and chlorine in a direct chlorination reactor. The chlorine is produced in a sodium chloride electrolysis and the reaction heat, during the formation of 1,2-dichloroethane is used at least partially for the evaporation of NaOH, which is produced during NaCl-electrolysis for producing the required chlorine for direct chlorination, as a coupling product. The invention also relates to a device for carrying out said method, comprising a multi-tube heat exchanger comprising two fixed tubular plates and a NaOH-liquid phase part, and the caustic soda passes through the inside of the tube and 1,2-dichloroethane passes the outside of the tube. The heat exchanger also comprises devices for feeding and distributing the caustic soda in the inside of the tube.
Abstract:
The invention refers to a process for the production of high-purity 1,2-dichloroethane from dissolved chlorine and dissolved ethylene, which are brought into contact with each other in a circulating liquid reaction fluid, which mainly consists of 1,2-dichlorethane and a catalyst and flows through at least one vertically arranged loop-type reaction section, both legs of the loop being connected to an overhead degassing vessel from where the reaction product is withdrawn either in gaseous or in liquid state or in both gaseous and liquid state, and numerous admixing sections being arranged in the leg of the loop in which the liquid rises, and each of these admixing sections having one upstream feed point for dissolved or gaseous ethylene and one downstream feed point for dissolved chlorine and, if required, the admixing sections featuring static mixers.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing high purity 1,2-dichloroethane using a liquid reaction medium that is circulated and that is essentially composed of 1,2-dichloroethane and a catalyst. At least ethylene and chlorine are added to the reaction medium and a mainly chlorine-containing gas flow is dissolved in a part of the reaction medium which is essentially devoid of dissolved ethylene. The gaseous components not dissolved in this solution are removed from the solution by means of a gas-separation device and the solution from which the undissolved gas components were removed is contacted with ethylene which is present in dissolved form.
Abstract:
With a method or a device for producing 1,2-dichloroethane or ethylene (di)chloride (EDC) with the use of a circulating reaction medium and a catalyst, whereby ethylene and chlorine are supplied to the reaction medium, the goal is to permit the catalytic chlorination of ethylene in a manner that is particularly gentle to the product.This is achieved in terms of the method and by other means in that the ethylene or chlorine gas are introduced into the reaction medium by means of microporous gas diffuser elements for producing gas bubbles with a diameter of 0.3 to 3 mm.

Abstract:
Process for operating a distillation column for the removal of water and lower-boiling components than 1,2-dichloroethane from 1,2-dichloroethane in which at least part of the heat from condensation of the aqueous vapours from the distillation column is used to concentrate caustic soda solution by evaporation; furthermore, at least part of the 1,2-dichloroethane formed when chlorine and ethylene react in a direct chlorination unit is used to heat said distillation column and can subsequently also be used as a heat transfer fluid to concentrate caustic soda solution by evaporation.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a falling film evaporator, which is fitted with a liquid distributor which is divided into segments, such that it is possible to charge only a limited number of evaporator tubes with liquid and the evaporator can be operated in an optimum manner even with a partial load. The invention also relates to a method for operating said falling film evaporator, the aim of which is to transfer heat, which is released when a gas-vapor mixture is condensed, to a liquid which is to be evaporated at least partially. It would be useful to use said falling film evaporator thus fitted in heat recuperation systems such as those used in the production of 1,2 dichloroethane.
