Abstract:
The invention concerns a process for preparing the useful product chlorine (Cl2) (34) with particularly low investment costs, in particular using reduced amounts of energy, from unpurified waste hydrochloric acid (13) containing hydrogen chloride (HCl). To that end, the invention comprises three steps: 1. producing an HCl-containing flue gas (4) by the chemical-thermal breakdown (13) (combustion, partial oxidation, metal-catalytic decomposition or the like) of chloric waste; 2. producing a crude hydrochloric acid (13) by washing (10) the HCl-containing flue gases; and 3. admixing the crude hydrochloric acid (28) to salt water (30) and decomposing the acidified salt water in an alkali electrolysis process (38, 39) to form chlorine (34), hydrogen (35) and sodium hydroxide (37).
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for purifying an impure HCl containing at least one saturated or olefinic impurity of the formula CaHbClcFd (wherein a is an integer from 1 to 4, b and c are each integers from 0 to 9, and d is an integer from 1 to 10; provided b + c + d = 2a + 2 for acyclic compounds and b + c + d = 2a for cyclic compounds and olefinic compounds) which comprises the step of contacting the impure HCl with a sorbent for said impurities selected from activated carbons and inorganic molecular sieves (e.g., silicalites and zeolites) at a temperature and a pressure suitable for sorption for a period of time sufficient to remove a substantial amount of said impurities.

Abstract:
A process is provided for the recovery of hydrogen chloride in anhydrous form (44) from a dry mixture of hydrogen chloride with one or more non-condensable gases and which may also contain components heavier than hydrogen chloride (26), which process comprises distilling (34) the mixture to produce an overheads stream (36) containing the non-condensable gases and 95 percent or more by weight of the hydrogen chloride in the mixture and a bottoms stream (38) containing 95 percent or greater by weight of all components heavier than hydrogen chloride, and compressing (40) and refrigerating (42) the overheads stream whereby a selected proportion of the hydrogen chloride in the overheads stream is produced in a liquid anhydrous form containing 50 parts per million or less by weight of water.
Abstract:
Method for the removal of colouring materials as iron and halogens from hydrochloric acid. Among the halogens it is especially chlorine and bromine that contribute to the colour. Iron is first removed from the hydrochloric acid preferably by filtration and ion exchange and thereafter a nitrogen containing reducing agent is added to the acid. It is preferred to use compounds containing hydroxyl amine, preferably hydroxylamine hydrochloride (hydroxyl ammoniumchloride). The reducing agent is added in a stoichiometric excess.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of removing chlorine from a mixture of gases. The mixture of gases is contacted with a liquid which contains a compound having general formula (I) where n is 1 to 3, whereby chlorine in the mixture of gases is absorbed by the liquid. The liquid is then heated to volatilize the chlorine and separate it from the liquid.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a method of processing fluorine-contaminated hydrochloric acid arising from waste treatment, the method calling for the acid to be concentrated by the removal of water in a circuit round which it is entrained by an aqueous solution of water-binding and fluorine-binding agents. Contained in the entrainer solution is a precipitating agent which binds both fluoride and silicon as solids which are precipitated out in the form of a sludge.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for extracting hydrochloric acid from bromine- and iodine-containing smoke gas. Halogenated waste is burned, the halogenated smoke gas is absorbed in water, and if required evaporated, the thus obtained acid aqueous solution is mixed with a reducing agent or with a mixture of several reducing agents and evaporated or rectified, and the thus obtained vapour phase is recondensed.
Abstract:
The specification discloses a process for regenerating aqueous chloride leach liquors. The process involves roasting aqueous chloride leach liquor to produce metal oxide and a gas containing HC1. The gas containing HC1 is passed through a preconcentrator where it is contacted with spent aqueous chloride leach liquor. The enthalpy of the gas evaporates water from the spent liquor thereby concentrating it. At the same time the spent liquor absorbs HC1. HC1 not absorbed in the preconcentrator is contacted with water to form hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid may be mixed with the concentrated spent liquor and re-used. Apparatus for operating the process is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The process is used to obtain hydrochloric acid from flue gases. Hydrogen chloride HC1, hydrogen fluoride HF and other substances soluble in an aqueous washing solution are removed thereby. The dissolved fluoride ions are converted with added aluminium and sodium ions into cryolite Na3A1F6 and aluminium fluoride A1F3. A fraction of larger crystals (52) is removed from the washing solution taken to a circuit (12, P1, 32, P3, 5) and a fraction of finer crystals left in the washing solution. HC1 is expelled from the washing solution. A vapour (34) containing the expelled HC1 is taken to further processing stages (8) for producing highly concentrated hydrochloric acid (88).
