Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of fine chemical industry and catalysis technology, and particularly relates to a preparation method of carbon-coated catalyst and a method for removing free chlorine in hydrochloric acid. BACKGROUND

[0002] In industry, hydrogen chloride gas is generally treated by water absorption to prepare hydrochloric acid, which is used as a raw material for the production of other products or is sold as by-product hydrochloric acid. However, because unreacted chlorine gas is mixed in the hydrogen chloride gas, the prepared hydrochloric acid contains a small amount of free chlorine. The free chlorine is very active and can participate in many chemical reactions, thereby limiting the application of the hydrochloric acid. At the same time, the free chlorine can also be emitted during use, causing serious pollution to the production environment and even endangering the health of workers.

[0003] At present, the methods for removing free chlorine in hydrochloric acid mainly include air (nitrogen) stripping and activated carbon adsorption. For example, in patent CN100361891C, most of the free chlorine in the hydrochloric acid is blown out by compressed air, and the blown-out chlorine gas is reacted with iron filings. After purification, the residual chlorine is removed by adding an organic acid. In patent CN101332977A, air is introduced to carry out the free chlorine in the form of chlorine gas, and then the residual chlorine is removed by passing through an activated carbon fixed bed. In these methods, the introduction of air (nitrogen) not only carries away part of the hydrogen chloride gas when stripping the free chlorine, but also increases the cost of tail gas treatment in the later stage and wastes a large amount of hydrogen chloride gas. In the activated carbon adsorption method, in actual application, special coal-based activated carbon with extremely low iron content or high-quality coconut shell activated carbon must be selected, which is expensive. Moreover, the above-mentioned methods are not sufficient for removing free chlorine, and a small amount of residual chlorine still remains. SUMMARY
