Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for drying hydrogen chloride (HCl gas) from aqueous hydrochloric solutions (of different concentrations) obtained in particular during the recovery of chlorinated residues (HRV).
- HCl gas hydrogen chloride
- HRV chlorinated residues
- chlorinated organic compounds generates abundant quantities of by-products and residues often containing chlorine.
- residues can be present either in the form of a gas, for example in the case of the manufacture of vinyl chloride, or of its polymers or copolymers, or in the form of liquid and / or of tarry solids obtained in the manufacture.
- aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, and / or aromatic chlorinated hydrocarbons aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, and / or aromatic chlorinated hydrocarbons.
- the composition of these chlorinated residues varies according to their origin. Certain residues include chlorinated tar products, at least some of the constituents of which contain more than 7 carbon atoms per molecule.
- Other chlorinated residues include chlorinated C compounds and / or chlorinated C 6 compounds.
- chlorinated residues can be accompanied by other compounds comprising chlorinated C1 to C constituents.
- chlorinated residues may also include polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) used as dielectric and cooling fluids and which one wishes to get rid of given the ban on the use of these products.
- PCBs polychlorinated biphenyls
- the burning of these chlorinated liquid and / or gaseous residues is carried out by the applicant in the presence of an excess of air and water at temperatures ranging from 900 ° C to 1450 ° C, and generally, included between 1,200 ° C and 1,300 ° C in an installation comprising in particular a burner into which chlorine residues are injected and an oxidizer; said burner being in connection with an oven.
- the hot gases leaving the furnace leave part of their sensible heat in a boiler supplying steam and are then suddenly cooled in a quenching reactor.
- the hydrogen chloride formed is absorbed in absorbers, which leads to aqueous solutions commercial hydrochloric acid concentrates at around 30% by weight of HCl. Any chlorine formed is absorbed in an alkaline aqueous solution.
- aqueous hydrochloric solutions can be sold as is for applications such as neutralization of alkaline effluents, preparations of metal chlorides, attack of metals, or can be treated to lead to more or less anhydrous hydrogen chloride.
- HCI gas can be used in particular for the manufacture of vinyl chloride obtained by thermal cracking of 1,2-dichloroethane, which is synthesized in particular by oxychlorination of ethylene, depending on the reaction:
- the operation is carried out according to the process described below, shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1.
- the 30% hydrochloric aqueous solution coming from absorbers of an HRV unit is directed to a concentration column (1) then then to a distillation column ( 2).
- the HCl gas obtained in (9) contains approximately 50 to 150 pp of water.
- the Applicant has found that the use of such a gas for the oxychlorination of ethylene leads to significant corrosion problems of the compressors used to bring HCl gas to a (operating) pressure of approximately 6 to 7 bars. These compressor corrosions lead to lower compression ratios leading to frequent shutdowns for reconditioning. This results in high and costly maintenance.
- This water content in HCI gas can be easily measured by determining the dew point (or starting liquefaction temperature of acidic water) by lowering the temperature of a sample of HCI gas at a given pressure.
- FIG. 2 schematically represents the drying method described in WO 0112541 using H 2 5O 4 which makes it possible to perfect the drying of an HCl gas and to bring its water content less than 0.5 ppm or even less than 0.15 ppm.
- the HCl gas to be treated arrives at (81) in a packed column (92).
- the dry H 2 SO is taken from a storage (82) and then brought to a ventilated tank (84).
- H 2 5O 4 sec (86) is pumped to a liquid ring compressor (88) or it is brought into contact with HCl partially dry gas (90) coming from the head of a first packed absorption column ( 92), which receives HCI gas to be dried (81) and with a stream (94) d ⁇ 2 SO partially wet recycled from a second packed absorption column (96).
- the partially dried HCI (90) from (92) is then dried in (96) to provide anhydrous HCI (98).
- the partially wet H 2 S0 4 at the bottom of (96) partially recycled to said column feeds the compressor (88) via (100) and the column (92) via (102) where it is brought into contact against the current. with the HCl gas stream to be dried (81).
- the wet H 2 50 4 obtained at the bottom of (92) is recycled partly at the top of said column (92) and partly in a stripping column (106) which uses dry air (108) to remove HCI residual wet H 2 SO, which HCI is eliminated at the top (110).
- the wet H 2 SO, free of HCI, is recovered in a storage tank (114) where it is subsequently dried for reuse.
- anhydrous HCl gas can be obtained more simply, obtained during the distillation of aqueous hydrochloric solutions originating in particular from HRV, by avoiding the drawbacks mentioned previously by using, under certain conditions, anhydrous CaCl 2 .
- the subject of the invention is therefore a process for drying hydrogen chloride originating from the distillation of aqueous hydrochloric solutions obtained in particular during the recovery of chlorinated residues, characterized in that said hydrogen chloride is brought into contact with chloride anhydrous calcium (CaC ⁇ z) for a period of time less than or equal to 1 minute and, preferably, between 5 seconds and 45 seconds.
- chloride anhydrous calcium CaC ⁇ z
- the HCI gas comes from a chlorinated residue recovery plant (HRV) as described above and has a water content generally between 150 and 200 ppm.
- the anhydrous CaCl 2 which can be used according to the present invention is found to be in the form of beads with a diameter less than or equal to 5 mm and, preferably, with a diameter ranging from 1 to 5 mm.
- the drying of the hydrogen chloride is carried out at a temperature ranging from -30 ° C to 20 ° C and, preferably, ranging from -15 ° C to -10 ° C. It is generally carried out at a pressure equal to or greater than atmospheric pressure, and preferably at the distillation pressure supplying the HCl humid gas to be dried.
- the residence time or contact time of the gas HCI with the CaCI 2 anhydrous must be sufficient to absorb the residual water. It depends on the load used and the flow rate of humid HCI gas to be dried.
- this time is equal to or less than 1 min, generally, this residence time ranges from 5 sec to 45 sec.
- this residence time ranges from 5 sec to 45 sec.
- the lifetime of the anhydrous CaCI 2 used can be calculated by taking into account the mass of water absorbed per mass of anhydrous CaCI 2 used.
- the Applicant has found that it is necessary to change the load of CaCI 2 when the latter has increased by 30% by weight at most and, preferably, when the load has increased by 25 to 30%.
- the water content in the HCl gas having passed through the CaCI 2 feed can be easily obtained by determining the dew point of the outgoing HCl gas.
- the method according to the present invention can be implemented by means of a device as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 3.
- a vertical cylindrical column (01) comprising at least one basket (02) containing the charge of anhydrous CaCl 2 , having at its base a bottom grid (03) provided with interlaced strips and a support grid (04) on which a canvas (05); at the upper part of said basket also rests on the load of CaCl 2 a fabric (06);
- a cylindrical bottom (07) provided with an HCI gas inlet (08) in junction with an injection “saber” (09) provided with staggered holes (not shown in FIG. 3), and a purge (10); - a cylindrical cap (11) provided with a dry HCI outlet (12) and lifting lugs (13).
- the fabrics (04) and (05) are made of a material resistant to HCl and have meshes of diameter equal to approximately 1 mm.
- the charge of CaC ⁇ z is easily replaced due to the simplicity of the device used.
- This replacement consists of removing the cap (11), removing the basket containing the used charge and replacing a new basket containing a new charge of CaCI 2 .
- the cylindrical column (01), the bottom (06), the cap (10), as well as the injection saber (08) and the grids (03) and (04) are made of corrosion resistant materials such as ebonity steel. , polypropylene wrapped in a composite material.
- the basket (s) is (are) made of high density polypropylene
- the process according to the invention has great flexibility, has the advantage of using a simple and inexpensive device which can be easily inserted into existing units and results in an HCl gas having water contents of less than 20 ppm or even less than 10 ppm.
- the bottom grids (03) have an outside diameter of 0.905 m and the support grids (04) have an outside diameter of 0.91 m;
- the fabrics (04) and (05) have meshes of diameter equal to 1 mm and are made of PPHD.
