Benefits of technology

[0020]The catalyst according to the present invention can be easily prepared. Meanwhile, comparing with gold and ruthenium-based catalysts, the catalyst according to the invention has a relatively lower price. Due to free of the toxic ingredients such as Cr, etc., the catalyst is relatively environment-friendly and does not cause secondary pollution. Comparing with the available copper-containing catalysts, the catalyst according to the invention has a better stability due to the addition of boron which greatly inhibits the loss of the copper ingredient. In addition, in the two-step

Problems solved by technology

This process has two big problems.
While when sodium hydroxide requirements do not coincide with the demand for chlorine which increases greatly due to the rapid development of chlorine-consuming industries, oversupply of sodium hydroxide occurs.
As the rapid development of chlorine-consuming industries, it is increasingly difficult to find outlets for hydrogen chloride.
The resulting by-produced hydrochloric acid has low added value, needs high cost for transport and storage and the sale is difficult.
Also, 20-50 times of waste water produced in subsequent applications generates a great deal of pressure on the environment.
In the case of co-production of PVC, the domestic capacity of PVC is much excessive, and the export amount, price and utilization of capacity are always unsatisfied.
Thus, under the current conditions, the outlet of hydrogen chloride has become a bottleneck restricting further development of the chlorine-consuming industries.
Thus, its equipment investment and operational cost are high, and its operation is complex and lack of flexibility.
However, it still has an electricity consumption level of above 1700 kWh per ton chlorine, and thereby the status of high electricity-consumption in the production of chlorine is not substantially improved.
Furthermore, in comparison to ion-membrane electrolysis, the method of oxidative electrolysis of hydrochloric acid requires more complex equipments and has no advantages in eco

example 1

[0035]In a 40 ml of aqueous solution that contains 26.3 g CuCl2.2H2O, 60 g of HY molecular sieve (rare earth HY molecular sieve, manufactured by Mingmeiyoujie Mining Co. Ltd., Mingguang City, the same below) is impregnated for 12 h, then dried at 90° C. for 16 h. The resultant solid is re-dispersed in a 50 ml of aqueous solution that contains 0.92 g H3BO3, 4.95 g KCl, 8.15 g Ce(NO3)3.6H2O and 4.05 g Nd(NO3)3.6H2O to perform impregnation for 12 h, then dried at 90° C. for 16 h. The dried solid is calcined at 500° C. for 4 h to obtain 90 g of active catalyst. It is tableted to obtain catalyst granules of 30-60 mesh. 6 g of the catalyst of 30-60 mesh is loaded in a fixed bed reactor to conduct a reaction with of the flow rates of hydrogen chloride and oxygen of 100 ml / min respectively, with the reaction temperature at 380° C. and the reaction pressure at 0.18 MPa. After 4 h of reaction, the chlorine yield is 88.6%; and after 100 h of reaction, the chlorine yield is 89.0%. The activity ...

[0039]In a 41 ml of aqueous solution that contains 26.3 g CuCl2.2H2O, 60 g kaolin is impregnated for 12 h, then dried at 90° C. for 16 h. The resultant solid is re-dispersed in a 49 ml of aqueous solution that contains 1.15 g H3BO3, 4.95 g KCl, 8.15 g Ce(NO3)3.6H2O and 4.05 g La(NO3)3.6H2O to perform impregnation for 12 h, then dried at 90° C. for 16 h. After being calcined at 500° C. for 4 h, 90 g of active catalyst is obtained. It is tableted to obtain catalyst granules of 30-60 mesh. With the same reaction conditions as in Example 1, the chlorine yield is 86.1% after 4 h of reaction and is 85.8% after 100 h of reaction. The activity of the catalyst substantially remains unchanged. After 1000 h of reaction, the catalyst still keeps its activity with the chlorine yield of 85.4%.
