[0021] Embodiment:

[0022] See the attached Figure 1The application discloses a liquid chlorine refining deoxidization energy-saving production device, which is based on the improvement of a liquid chlorine refining deoxidization process in the prior art, and heat of high-temperature chlorine gas after compression by a chlorine compressor 1 is fully utilized by canceling live steam as a heat source. The device comprises a chlorine gas heating device, a chlorine-liquid chlorine counterflow impurity removal device, a chlorine liquefaction device and a liquid chlorine circulating device. The chlorine gas heating device is used for heating raw material chlorine gas into high-temperature chlorine gas at about 90 DEG C, and is preferably the chlorine compressor 1. The temperature of the raw material chlorine gas is about 15-20 DEG C. After compression by the chlorine compressor 1 to a certain pressure, high-temperature chlorine gas at about 90 DEG C is obtained. The high-temperature chlorine gas enters the chlorine-liquid chlorine counterflow impurity removal device through a pipeline. The liquid chlorine circulating device continuously delivers liquid chlorine to the chlorine-liquid chlorine counterflow impurity removal device. In the chlorine-liquid chlorine counterflow impurity removal device, the compressed high-temperature chlorine gas exchanges heat with the liquid chlorine. After heat release, the high-temperature chlorine gas forms low-temperature chlorine gas which is delivered to the chlorine liquefaction device. After heat exchange with the high-temperature chlorine gas, the liquid chlorine is partially vaporized to form chlorine gas, and counterflows with the liquid chlorine continuously input into the chlorine-liquid chlorine counterflow impurity removal device to perform mass transfer and heat exchange. In this process, the oxygen-rich liquid chlorine is refined by utilizing the boiling point difference between chlorine gas and oxygen gas. The vaporized chlorine gas carries away oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide and other gas impurities in the liquid chlorine and is delivered to the chlorine liquefaction device. At this time, the impurity gas in the liquid chlorine is removed to form refined liquid chlorine which is discharged from the bottom of the chlorine-liquid chlorine counterflow impurity removal device to a user end for use. The low-temperature chlorine gas after heat exchange with the high-temperature chlorine gas and the chlorine gas carrying impurities after vaporization of the liquid chlorine are delivered to the chlorine liquefaction device together to further recover chlorine gas, and form liquid chlorine by liquefaction and store in the chlorine circulating device.

[0023] The chlorine-liquid chlorine counterflow impurity removal device specifically comprises a liquid chlorine reboiler 2 and a liquid chlorine refining tower 3. The liquid chlorine reboiler 2 is directly connected to the bottom of the liquid chlorine refining tower 3. The high-temperature chlorine gas flows in the shell side of the liquid chlorine reboiler 2, and the liquid chlorine delivered by the liquid chlorine circulating device is in the tube side. In the shell side, the raw material high-temperature chlorine gas is cooled to 30-40 DEG C, and then is delivered to the chlorine liquefaction device to exchange heat with a refrigerant and be cooled to about -20-17 DEG C (changes according to the liquefaction pressure), and is liquefied into liquid chlorine. In the tube side, the liquid chlorine is partially vaporized to form chlorine gas by heat absorption and boiling, and the chlorine gas rises to the top of the liquid chlorine refining tower 3 to contact and mass transfer with the liquid chlorine continuously input from one side of the top, and carries away most of the impurity gas in the liquid chlorine, such as oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide, from the top of the liquid chlorine refining tower 3 to the chlorine liquefaction device to recover chlorine gas. The unvaporized liquid chlorine flows to the bottom of the liquid chlorine reboiler 2 to be discharged as refined liquid chlorine and output to a user end for use.

[0024] The chlorine gas liquefaction device recovers the chlorine gas carrying impurities and the low-temperature chlorine gas after heat exchange and performs liquefaction, and is preferably a chlorine gas liquefier 4. A liquid chlorine separator 5 is arranged at the output end of the chlorine gas liquefier 4 to separate liquid chlorine and liquefied tail gas, and oxygen and other gases are discharged with the liquefied tail gas. With the discharge of the liquefied tail gas, the impurities in the liquid chlorine are reduced, the purity is improved, and periodic blowdown is performed at the bottom of the liquid chlorine separator 5, thereby avoiding the accumulation of nitrogen trichloride.

[0025] The liquid chlorine circulating device comprises a liquid chlorine storage tank 6 and a liquid chlorine pump 7. The liquid chlorine separated by the liquid chlorine separator 5 is delivered to the liquid chlorine storage tank 6 through a pipeline for buffering. The output end of the liquid chlorine storage tank 6 is connected to one side of the top of the liquid chlorine refining tower 3 through a pipeline. The liquid chlorine pump 7 is connected in the pipeline between the liquid chlorine storage tank 6 and the liquid chlorine refining tower 3. The liquid chlorine in the liquid chlorine storage tank 6 is pumped into the liquid chlorine refining tower 3 by the liquid chlorine pump 7. The liquid chlorine in the liquid chlorine refining tower 3 is countercurrently contacted with the vaporized chlorine gas at the upper part of the liquid chlorine refining tower 3 for mass transfer to remove part of the impurities and then enters the liquid chlorine reboiler 2. Part of the liquid chlorine that is not vaporized is discharged as refined liquid chlorine.

[0026] The working process of the utility model is as follows: the raw material chlorine gas is compressed to 0.2-0.7MPaG by the chlorine gas compressor 1. During the compression process, the temperature of the raw material chlorine gas is increased to about 90 DEG C. The high-temperature chlorine gas at the outlet of the chlorine gas compressor 1 is then sent to the shell side of the liquid chlorine reboiler 2 to exchange heat with the liquid chlorine at the tube side, and the chlorine gas is cooled to about 30-40 DEG C. The low-temperature chlorine gas after cooling is then sent to the liquefier to exchange heat with the refrigerant and is cooled to about-20-17 DEG C (corresponding to the change of the liquefaction pressure), and the chlorine gas is liquefied into liquid chlorine and then flows into the liquid chlorine separator 5 by itself. The liquid chlorine and the liquefied tail gas are separated, and oxygen and other gases are discharged with the liquefied tail gas. The liquid chlorine flows into the liquid chlorine storage tank 6. In the liquid chlorine separator 5, periodic blowdown can also be performed at the bottom of the liquid chlorine separator 5, thereby avoiding the accumulation of nitrogen trichloride. The liquid chlorine is buffered in the liquid chlorine storage tank 6 and is delivered to the upper part of the liquid chlorine refining tower 3 by the liquid chlorine pump 7. After the liquid chlorine enters the liquid chlorine refining tower 3, the liquid chlorine is countercurrently contacted with the vaporized chlorine from the liquid chlorine reboiler 2 for mass transfer. The vaporized chlorine gas rises to the top of the tower as refined tail gas and is then delivered to the chlorine gas liquefier 4 for further liquefaction to recover the chlorine in the tail gas. The liquid chlorine at the bottom of the liquid chlorine refining tower 3 enters the liquid chlorine reboiler 2, is partially vaporized after absorbing the heat released by the raw material chlorine gas, rises to the top of the liquid chlorine refining tower 3 to refine the liquid chlorine, and the liquid chlorine that is not vaporized flows to the bottom of the reboiler and is discharged as refined liquid chlorine.

Any equivalent structure or equivalent process conversion or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields based on the content of the utility model specification and drawings is also included in the patent protection range of the utility model.
