The invention relates to a method for separating and recovering
chlorine and
oxygen of a
hydrogen chloride oxidation gas mixture by use of a PSA (
Pressure Swing Adsorption) technology and belongs to the technical field of
gas separation. The method aims at a gas mixture generated by
catalytic oxidation of
hydrogen chloride and comprises the following steps of: firstly absorbing unreacted
hydrogen chloride with water, dehydrating through concentrated
sulfuric acid, and introducing a residual gas mixture into a PSA device so as to be separated, wherein the PSA device comprises at least two absorbing
tower units, adsorbents filled in the absorbing
tower units are at least one of
silica gel and
active carbon, and the volume proportion of the
active carbon is 0-50%;
chlorine with the purity of more than 99.2% is obtained after adsorption, pressure equalizing, flushing and
desorption steps are carried out on the gas mixture, adsorption
tail gas is
oxygen with the purity of more than 99.5%, and the
recovery rates of
chlorine and
oxygen are more than 98.5%. The method for separating and recovering the chlorine and oxygen of the
hydrogen chloride oxidation gas mixture by the PSA technology, disclosed by the invention, is especially suitable for separation
recovery of the chlorine and oxygen of the
hydrogen chloride oxidation gas mixture, and has the advantages of simple process, high
recovery rates and purities of chlorine and oxygen, and excellent economical and environmental-friendly benefits.
