摘要:
A METHOD FOR REGENERATING HYDROCHLORIC ACID FROM SPENT PICKLE LIQUORS BY CHARGING THE LIQUOR INTO A CONVERTER WHERE THE LIQUOR IS CONTACTED BY HOT COMBUSTION GASES AND WATER VAPOR, HYDROGEN CHLORIDE AND A METALLIC OXIDE ARE PRODUCED. THE LIQUOR IS DISPERSED IN A CLOSED ENVIROMENT AND CONTACTED THEREIN WITH HOT COMBUSTION GASES AND VAPORS FROM THE CONVERTER AT A TEMPERATURE WHERE THE WATER VAPORIZES TO CONCENTRATE AND PREHEAT THE LIQUOR WHICH IS THEN COLLECTED IN THE ENVIRONMENT FOLLOWED BY TRANSFER OF CONCENTRATED PREHEATED LIQUOR TO THE CONVERTER WHILE GASES AND VAPORS ARE WITHDRAWN FROM THE CLOSED ENVIRONMENT INTO AN ABSORPTION COLUMN AND CONTACTED WITH A COUNTERCURRENT STREAM OF LIQUID ABSORBENT.
