Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chlorine preparation, and particularly relates to a shell-and-tube reactor, a system and a method for preparing chlorine by hydrogenating chloride and hydrogenating hydrogen. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen chloride is widely produced in chlorine chemical production processes, such as the synthesis of vinyl chloride and methane chloride. Direct discharge of this hydrogen chloride wastes resources and pollutes the environment. The oxidation of hydrogen chloride to produce chlorine gas, enabling the recycling of chlorine, is of great significance to the green and sustainable development of the chlorine chemical industry.

[0003] Currently, common hydrogen chloride oxidation processes for chlorine production, such as the Deacon process, face difficulties removing the heat of reaction. The reaction releases a significant amount of heat, and if not removed promptly and effectively, it can make it difficult to control the reaction temperature.

[0004] Traditional fixed-bed reactors have low heat transfer efficiency and limited heat removal capacity. Shell-and-tube reactors, while offering some improvement, still cannot meet the demand for efficient heat removal when the reaction heat intensity is high.
