Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the leakage-proof storage of liquefied chlorine under increased pressure in pressure tanks, in which up to 20 wt.% polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (cPVC) is placed in the pressure tank prior to filling the pressure tank with liquefied chlorine.

Description

Verfahren zur leckage-sicheren Speicherung von verflüssigtem Chlor  Process for the leak-proof storage of liquefied chlorine
Die Erfindung betrifft die leckage sichere Speicherung von verflüssigtem Chlor in Drucktanks unter erhöhtem Druck, die einen Austritt von Chlor bei Undichtigkeiten des Drucktanks vermeidet oder vermindern soll. The invention relates to the leak-proof storage of liquefied chlorine in pressure tanks under elevated pressure, which is intended to prevent or reduce leakage of chlorine in the event of leaks in the pressure tank.
Zum Stand der Technik beschreibt US5788743A1 u.a. einige Lösemitte! für Chlor, aber keine makromolekularen Lösemittel. Polymerlösungen in flüssigem Chlor sind schon bekannt. Zum Beispiel wird in US4459387 ein Prozess zur Photochlorierung von Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) beschrieben, bei dem verflüssigtes Chlor das PVC-Granulat quillt und damit ein Gel bildet. Dabei reagiert das Chlor mit dem PVC und bildet CPVC (chloriertes PVC). Jedoch wird die somit gebildete Lösung (ob PVC in Chlor oder CPVC in Chlor) nicht als potenzielle Speicherungsform für Chlor beschrieben. AIChE- Journal 34 (1988) 1683-1690 sowie J. Polym. Sei. Part B: Polymer Physics 38 (2000) 3201-3209 beschreiben zudem u.a. die Diffusion von Chlor in cPVC. In US8343261 wird die Lagerung von Methan in metallorganischen Gerüstverbindungen (metal- organic frameworks, MOF) beschrieben, und in US5518528 die Anwendung von Sorbentien zur verbesserten Sicherheit beim Transport und bei der Lagerung von gefährlichen Gasen. Bei den beiden Anwendungen geht es jeweils um eine sorptive Wechselwirkung und nicht um gegenseitige molekulare Lösung der Komponenten ineinander. Als Alternative zu MOFs gibt es die sogenannten POPs (poröse organische Polymere). Ein mit Chlor funktionalisiertes POP zeigt eine stark selektive, sorptive Wechselwirkung mit CO2, verglichen mit Gl (J. Mater Chem. 2012, 22,13524) - über eine mögliche Wechselwirkung des POP mit Chlor-Gas (oder gar flüssigem CI2) wird im Artikel gar nicht eingegangen. The prior art US5788743A1 describes, inter alia, some Lösemitte! for chlorine, but no macromolecular solvents. Polymer solutions in liquid chlorine are already known. For example, in US4459387 a process for the photochlorination of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is described in which liquefied chlorine swells the PVC granules and thus forms a gel. The chlorine reacts with the PVC and forms CPVC (chlorinated PVC). However, the solution thus formed (whether PVC in chlorine or CPVC in chlorine) is not described as a potential storage form for chlorine. AICHh Journal 34 (1988) 1683-1690 and J. Polym. Be. Part B: Polymer Physics 38 (2000) 3201-3209 also describe, inter alia, the diffusion of chlorine in cPVC. US8343261 describes the storage of methane in metal-organic frameworks (MOF), and US5518528 describes the use of sorbents for improved safety in the transport and storage of hazardous gases. The two applications each involve a sorptive interaction and not a mutual molecular solution of the components. As an alternative to MOFs, there are the so-called POPs (porous organic polymers). A chlorine-functionalized POP shows a highly selective sorptive interaction with CO 2 compared to Gl (J. Mater Chem. 2012, 22.13524) - via a possible interaction of the POP with chlorine gas (or even liquid CI 2 ) not mentioned in the article.
Chlor wird nach Stand der Technik entweder bei niedrigen Drücken und tiefen Temperaturen, im Bereich von -34°C, oder bei hohen Drücken, im Bereich von 4-10 bar, und Umgebungstemperaturen gelagert. [Euro Chlor (2002), Guideline "Technical and safety aspects for chlorine producers and users" GEST 73/17 6th Edition, November 2002, "Low Pressure Storage of Liquid Chlorine"; Euro Chlor (2002), Guideline "Technical and safety aspects for chlorine producers and users" GEST 72/10, 9th Edition, September 2002, "Pressure Storage of Liquid Chlorine"] Chlorine is stored in the prior art either at low pressures and low temperatures, in the range of -34 ° C, or at high pressures, in the range of 4-10 bar, and ambient temperatures. [Euro Chlor (2002), Guideline "Technical and Safety Considerations for Chlorine Producers and Users" GEST 73/17 6th Edition, November 2002, "Low Pressure Storage of Liquid Chlorine"; Euro Chlor (2002), Guideline "Technical and Safety Considerations for Chlorine Producers and Users" GEST 72/10, 9th Edition, September 2002, "Pressure Storage of Liquid Chlorine"]
Für die Niederdruck-Lagerung muss Chlor tiefgekühlt und dann als Flüssigchlor in Lagertanks gefüllt werden. Für die Druck-Lagerung muss Chlor über Kompression verflüssigt und dann in Lagertanks gefüllt werden. Euro Chlor empfiehlt als maximale Lagerkapazität eines einzelnen Tanks 300 - 400 t, das entspricht bei Drucklagerung etwa 200 - 270 m3.[ Ulimann' s Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry (2011), 7th Edition, "Chlorine", 8 (12), S. 604] For low-pressure storage, chlorine must be frozen and then filled into storage tanks as liquid chlorine. For pressure storage, chlorine must be liquefied by compression and then filled into storage tanks. Euro Chlor recommends 300 - 400 t as the maximum storage capacity of a single tank, which corresponds to approximately 200 - 270 m 3 when stored under pressure [Ulimann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry (2011), 7th Edition, "Chlorine", 8 (12), p 604]
Nachteil beider Lagerarten ist, dass bei Verlust der Lagerbehälterintegrität schnell größere Mengen Chlor in die Umgebung entweichen könnten und daher aufwendige Sicherheitsmaßnahmen notwendig sind, um dies zu vermeiden. Daher wird von Seiten der Chlorhersteller auch die Lagermenge an Chlor möglichst gering gehalten, was wiederum dazu führt, dass keine größeren Puffer an Chlor zur Verfügung stehen. Disadvantage of both types of storage is that when loss of storage container integrity quickly larger amounts of chlorine could escape into the environment and therefore expensive security measures are necessary to avoid this. Therefore, the amount of chlorine stored on the part of the chlorine manufacturer is kept as low as possible, which in turn means that no larger buffers of chlorine are available.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es eine sichere Lagerung von Chlor zu ermöglichen, die insbesondere die Leckage von Chlortanks und den Austritt von Chlor aus dem Drucktank vermeidet oder vermindert. The object of the invention is to enable a safe storage of chlorine, which avoids or reduces in particular the leakage of chlorine tanks and the escape of chlorine from the pressure tank.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, dass der Drucktank mit PVC oder cPVC vor dem Befüllen mit verflüssigtem Chlor befüllt wird, die bei einer Leckage des Drucktanks dass Leck abdichten können. The object is achieved in that the pressure tank with PVC or cPVC is filled prior to filling with liquefied chlorine, which can seal the leak in a pressure tank.
Gegenstand der Erfindung ist ein Verfahren zur leckage-sicheren Speicherung von verflüssigtem Chlor unter erhöhtem Druck in Druckbehältern, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass bis zu 20 Gew.-% von Polyvinylchlorid (PVC) oder chloriertem Polyvinylchlorid (cPVC) vor der Befüllung des Druckbehälters mit verflüssigtem Chlor im Druckbehälter vorgelegt werden. The invention relates to a method for the leak-proof storage of liquefied chlorine under elevated pressure in pressure vessels, characterized in that up to 20 wt .-% of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (cPVC) prior to filling the pressure vessel with liquefied chlorine be submitted in the pressure vessel.
Bevorzugt ist eine Ausführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass von 1 bis 20 Gew.-% PVC oder cPVC, bevorzugt von 2 bis 18 Gew.-% PVC im Druckbehälter vorgelegt werden. Preference is given to an embodiment of the process according to the invention, which is characterized in that from 1 to 20 wt .-% PVC or cPVC, preferably from 2 to 18 wt .-% PVC are placed in the pressure vessel.
Bevorzugt ist eine Ausführung des Verfahrens, die dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass das Molekulargewicht M„ des PVCs oder cPVCs von 20.000 bis 250.000, bevorzugt von 25.000 bis 200.000 beträgt. Preferred is an embodiment of the process characterized in that the molecular weight M "of the PVC or cPVC is from 20,000 to 250,000, preferably from 25,000 to 200,000.
In einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführung des neuen Verfahrens beträgt der Druck im Druckbehälter nach der Beaufschlagung mit Chlor von 2 bis 15 bar (2000 bis 15.000 hPa). Beispiel PVC/cPVC In a further preferred embodiment of the new method, the pressure in the pressure vessel after the introduction of chlorine is from 2 to 15 bar (2,000 to 15,000 hPa). Example PVC / cPVC
Die Messungen wurden in einer Anlage zur Messung von Phasengleichgewichten durchgeführt, Die Anlage beinhaltet eine Hochdrucksichtzelle, Pumpen zum Befüllen der Sichtzelle mit Chlor und einen Vakuumbehälter. Die Hochdrucksichtzelle besteht aus einem Saphirglaszylinder und Edelstahlflanschen (Material Edelstahl 316, Volumen 325 cm3, maximaler Druck: 10 Mpa). The measurements were carried out in a system for measuring phase equilibria. The system includes a high-pressure view cell, pumps for filling the viewing cell with chlorine and a vacuum tank. The high-pressure view cell consists of a sapphire glass cylinder and stainless steel flanges (material 316 stainless steel, volume 325 cm 3 , maximum pressure: 10 Mpa).
Die Temperatur wird durch ein kalibriertes Pt-100 Platin Widerstandsthermometer und der Druck mittels eines kalibrierten Präzisions-Druckaufnehmers (Keller PA-25 HTC) gemessen, welcher direkt an die Zelle gekoppelt ist. Komprimiertes Chlor wird mittels einer Schraubenpumpen (Sitec) zugegeben. Der obere Flansch der Sichtzelle ist mit Öffnungen versehen, über die mittels Schaltung eines Ventils ein plötzlicher Druckabfall im Behälter simuliert werden kann. The temperature is measured by a calibrated Pt-100 platinum resistance thermometer and the pressure is measured by means of a calibrated precision pressure transducer (Keller PA-25 HTC), which is directly coupled to the cell. Compressed chlorine is added by means of a screw pump (Sitec). The upper flange of the viewing cell is provided with openings, which can be simulated by switching a valve, a sudden pressure drop in the container.
Hierzu ist die Hochdrucksichtzelle über das Ventil mit einem Vakuumbehälter (Volumen 20 1) verbunden, in dem das entweichende Gas aufgefangen wird. For this purpose, the high-pressure view cell is connected via the valve with a vacuum container (volume 20 1), in which the escaping gas is collected.
Während jedes Experiments wurde der Druck und die Temperatur im Vakuumbehälter, der Druck und die Temperatur in der Hochdrucksichtzelle und die Zeit bis zu Erreichen eines Druckes von 1 bar abs im Vakuumbehälter gemessen. During each experiment, the pressure and temperature in the vacuum vessel, the pressure and temperature in the high pressure gauge cell, and the time to reach a pressure of 1 bar abs in the vacuum vessel were measured.
Beispiel 1 : Chlorfreisetzung von flüssigem Chlor Example 1: Chlorine release of liquid chlorine
Für dieses Beispiel wurde flüssiges Chlor (Firma Linde, 99,999%) in die Zelle gegeben, bis das Niveau des flüssigen Chlors etwa 2 Zentimetern betrug. Der Druck in der Zelle war gleich dem Dampfdruck von Chlor, 7,1 bar bei 22 ° C. Im Anschluss wurde der Druck in der Zelle über das Öffnen eines Ventils plötzlich gegen Vakuum entspannt. Das Ventil wurde bei Erreichen eines Druckes von 1 bar abs im Vakuumbehälter geschlossen. Die Zeit bis zum Erreichen dieses Druckes betrug 69 s. For this example, liquid chlorine (Linde, 99.999%) was added to the cell until the level of liquid chlorine was about 2 centimeters. The pressure in the cell was equal to the vapor pressure of chlorine, 7.1 bar at 22 ° C. Subsequently, the pressure in the cell was suddenly released by opening a valve against vacuum. The valve was closed when a pressure of 1 bar abs in the vacuum vessel. The time to reach this pressure was 69 s.
Beispiel 2: Chlorfreisetzung aus einer Mischung von Chlor und cPVC (13 Gew.-%) Example 2: Chlorine release from a mixture of chlorine and cPVC (13% by weight)
In einem ersten Schritt wurde in die Hochdrucksichtzelle, 48 g Polyvinylchlorid, PVC (Firma Aldrich Chemistry, product number 189588- lkg mit einem mittleren, number-average, Molekulargewicht von Mn 35.000.), vorgelegt. Flüssiges Chlor (Firma Linde, 99,990%) wurde bis zu einem Druck von 7,1 bar abs und einer Temperatur von 22°C zugegeben, so dass sich eine flüssige PVC/Chlor Lösung gebildet hat Hierbei stellte sich ein Verhältnis von 13 Gew.-% PVC in Lösung ein. Nach Zugabe des Chlors setzt sich das PVC zunächst unter Abspaltung von HCl zu cPVC um. Daher wurde über einen Zeitraum von 2 h abgewartet und entstandenes HCl aus der Zelle abgelassen. In a first step, 48 g of polyvinyl chloride, PVC (Aldrich Chemistry, product number 189588 kg having a mean, number-average, molecular weight of Mn 35,000) were initially introduced into the high-pressure view cell. Liquid chlorine (company Linde, 99.990%) was added to a pressure of 7.1 bar abs and a temperature of 22 ° C, so that a liquid PVC / chlorine solution has formed this resulted in a ratio of 13 wt. % PVC in solution. After addition of the chlorine, the PVC is initially added with elimination of HCl cPVC around. Therefore, it was waited for a period of 2 h and evolved HCl discharged from the cell.
Anschließend wurde der Druck in dem Behälter durch Öffnen eines Ventils plötzlich gegen Vakuum entspannt. Hierbei wurde Chlor freigesetzt bis auf einen Enddruck im Vakuumbehälter von 1 bar abs. Nach Öffnen bildete sich ein Schaum aus, welcher mehrere Zentimeter hoch stieg und auch nach Schliessen des Ventils bestehen blieb. Subsequently, the pressure in the container was suddenly released by opening a valve against vacuum. This chlorine was released to a final pressure in the vacuum vessel of 1 bar abs. After opening, a foam formed, which rose several centimeters high and persisted even after closing the valve.
Die Zeit bis zum Erreichen des Druckes von 1 bar abs im Vakuumbehälter betrug 145 s. The time to reach the pressure of 1 bar abs in the vacuum vessel was 145 s.
Beispiel 3: Chlorfreisetzung aus einer Mischung von Chlor und cPVC (16 Gew.-%) Example 3: Chlorine release from a mixture of chlorine and cPVC (16% by weight)
Es wurde wiederum Polyvinylchlorid vorgelegt und Chlor zugegeben bis zu einem Verhältnis von 16 Gew.-% PVC in Lösung. Nach Zugabe des Chlors setzt sich das PVC zunächst unter Abspaltung von HCl zu cPVC um. Daher wurde über einen Zeitraum von 2 h abgewartet und entstandenes HCl aus der Zelle abgelassen. It was again submitted to polyvinyl chloride and chlorine was added up to a ratio of 16 wt .-% PVC in solution. After addition of the chlorine, the PVC is first converted to cPVC with elimination of HCl. Therefore, it was waited for a period of 2 h and evolved HCl discharged from the cell.
Anschließend wurde der Druck in dem Behälter durch Öffnen eines Ventils plötzlich gegen Vakuum entspannt. Hierbei wurde Chlor freigesetzt bis auf einen Enddruck im Vakuumbehälter von 1 bar abs. Subsequently, the pressure in the container was suddenly released by opening a valve against vacuum. This chlorine was released to a final pressure in the vacuum vessel of 1 bar abs.
Nach Öffnen bildete sich ein Schaum aus, welcher mehrere Zentimeter hoch stieg und auch nach Schliessen des Ventils bestehen blieb. After opening, a foam formed, which rose several centimeters high and persisted even after closing the valve.
Die Zeit bis zum Erreichen des Druckes von 1 bar abs im Vakuumbehälter betrug 179 s. The time to reach the pressure of 1 bar abs in the vacuum container was 179 s.
Die Beispiele 2 und 3 zeigen im Vergleich zu Beispiel 1 eine Verlangsamung der Chlorfreisetzung um den Faktor 2 - 2,5. Examples 2 and 3 show, compared to Example 1, a slowing of the chlorine release by a factor of 2 - 2.5.
