Preparation of chlorine involves oxidation of hydrogen chloride and gas stream comprising molecular oxygen in presence of fixed-bed catalyst is carried out in reactor having annular and disk-shaped deflection plates between catalyst tubes

摘要

Preparation of chlorine involves passing hydrogen chloride and molecular oxygen in a reactor (1) having parallel catalyst tubes (2) charged with fixed-bed catalyst aligned in longitudinal direction of reactor; and alternatively arranged annular and disk-shaped deflection plates (6 and 7) which leave annular passage (9) free. A liquid heat transfer medium circulates between tubes.
