The invention discloses a
system and a method for cleaning a chlorination kettle for
phosphorus trichloride production, the
system comprises a chlorination kettle, the chlorination kettle is provided with a
chlorine feeding pipeline, a
yellow phosphorus feeding pipeline and a discharging pipeline, and the discharging pipeline is connected with a feeding port of a primary filtering device through a first material pump; a
liquid phase outlet of the first-stage filtering device is connected with a feeding hole of the second-stage filtering device, and a
solid phase outlet of the first-stage filtering device is connected with a feeding hole of the third-stage filtering device; a
liquid phase outlet of the second-stage filtering device is connected with an inlet of the first-stage
buffer tank, and a
solid phase outlet of the second-stage filtering device is connected with a feeding hole of the third-stage filtering device; a
liquid phase outlet of the third-stage filtering device is connected with a feeding hole of the first-stage filtering device, and a
solid phase outlet of the third-stage filtering device is connected with an inlet of the second-stage buffering tank; an outlet of the primary
buffer tank is connected with a feeding hole of the
phosphorus washing
tower through a second material pump; and the
discharge hole of the
phosphorus washing
tower is connected with the
reflux inlet of the chlorination kettle through a
reflux pipeline. The method avoids the risks of byproduct acid generation,
hydrogen accumulation,
yellow phosphorus spontaneous combustion and the like, is high in efficiency and is suitable for industrial
continuous production.
