The present invention relates to a method for purifying chlorine. More specifically, the present invention relates to a chlorine purification method for separating nitrogen and oxygen from crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen, which is excellent in separation efficiency of nitrogen and / or oxygen and chlorine, and has equipment and operating costs. The present invention relates to a chlorine purification method that is extremely advantageous from the viewpoint.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, as a chlorine purification method for separating nitrogen and oxygen from crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen, a liquid or gas mainly containing chlorine and nitrogen and / or by compression and / or cooling. There is a method of separating into a gas containing oxygen as a main component, but not only compression and / or cooling requires a lot of energy, but also has a problem that equipment cost is high and separation efficiency is poor. Yes.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In such a situation, the problem to be solved by the present invention is a chlorine purification method for separating nitrogen and oxygen from crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen, which is excellent in separation efficiency, and also has equipment and operating costs. Therefore, the present invention is to provide a chlorine purification method which is extremely advantageous from the above viewpoint.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the present invention relates to a chlorine purification method for separating nitrogen and oxygen from crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen, wherein the crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen is contacted with 1,2-dichloroethane. In this manner, 1,2-dichloroethane absorbs chlorine in crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen, and relates to purification of chlorine.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As the crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen used in the present invention, those containing gas such as argon, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and organic compounds can also be used.
[0006]
In the present invention, it is necessary that 1,2-dichloroethane absorbs chlorine in crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen by contacting crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen with 1,2-dichloroethane. There is. As a result, the separation efficiency is excellent, and it is possible to ensure the suppression of equipment cost and operation cost.
[0007]
The contact temperature between the crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen and 1,2-dichloroethane is -50 to 200 ° C, preferably -10 to 100 ° C, and more preferably 0 to 100 ° C. When the temperature is lower than −50 ° C., the equipment cost is high, which may be economically disadvantageous. On the other hand, when the temperature is higher than 200 ° C., chlorine is sufficiently absorbed by 1,2-dichloroethane. It may not be done.
[0008]
The pressure is 0.1 to 2 MPa. If the pressure is lower than 0.1 MPa, chlorine may not be sufficiently absorbed by 1,2-dichloroethane, whereas if it is higher than 2 MPa, the equipment cost becomes high, which is economically disadvantageous. Sometimes.
[0009]
The amount of 1,2-dichloroethane used is 0.1 to 200 times, preferably 1 to 100 times, more preferably 1 to 50 times the weight of chlorine in the crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen. Performed in double doses. If the amount of 1,2-dichloroethane is too small, chlorine may not be sufficiently absorbed. On the other hand, if the amount of 1,2-dichloroethane is excessive, the equipment cost will be high and it will be economically disadvantageous. There is.
[0010]
1,2-dichloroethane containing chlorine obtained by absorbing chlorine in crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen into 1,2-dichloroethane is separated from chlorine by 1,2- After separation into dichloroethane, 1,2-dichloroethane can be recycled.
[0011]
The gas components containing nitrogen and / or oxygen that have not been absorbed by 1,2-dichloroethane are cooled and condensed to separate 1,2-dichloroethane in order to recover 1,2-dichloroethane in the gas. After that, 1,2-dichloroethane can be recycled. As the cooling device, a heat exchanger or the like is used, and it is cooled in one or more stages, and the temperature after cooling is cooled to −50 to 40 ° C. The lower the cooling temperature, the less 1,2-dichloroethane loss.
[0012]
In the present invention, it is preferable to operate oxygen and 1,2-dichloroethane concentrations in the absorption tower, cooling device, drum, piping, etc. outside the explosion range from the viewpoint of operating the device safely.
[0013]
In the present invention, it is preferable to bring crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen into contact with 1,2-dichloroethane using an absorption tower in order to increase the contact efficiency. In order to increase the contact efficiency, it is more preferable to use a packing or a shelf in the absorption tower.
[0014]
In the present invention, the supply of 1,2-dichloroethane to the absorption tower is preferably performed above the supply of crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen.
[0015]
In the present invention, it is preferable to use crude chlorine containing nitrogen and / or oxygen obtained by catalytic oxidation and / or electrolysis of hydrogen chloride. Among them, it is preferable to use nitrogen and / or crude chlorine containing oxygen obtained by oxidizing hydrogen chloride with a gas containing oxygen in the presence of a catalyst containing ruthenium oxide.
