Abstract

<PICT:0798576/III/1> Chlorine gas is separated from gas mixtures of chlorine and carbon dioxide by passing the mixture into contact with water between 10 DEG and 100 DEG C. and maintaining the pressure of the carbon dioxide in the absorption system below 1.5 atmospheres absolute; absorbing into water at a super-atmospheric pressure the chlorine gas; withdrawing said water from the absorption system and desorbing the chlorine used from the chlorine-water solution by reducing the pressure thereon. The chlorine-water solution which has been desorbed by flashing may be recycled to the chlorine absorption system. The method which is particularly useful in the recovery of chlorine gases from chlorine-liquefier vent gases produced in commercial electrolytic chlor-alkali plants is illustrated by the flow sheet shown in the Figure. Gases are exhausted from a chlorine drying compression and liquefaction system 1 and introduced into a packed absorption tower 4 which is maintained at a pressure equal to or slightly less than the pressure of system 1, the chlorine in the vent gases is absorbed by the water, and the carbon monoxide and other non-absorbed gases which may be contained in the gas mixture are lead to the outlet line 8; the water, substantially saturated with chlorine gas, passes out of the absorption tower 4 and into the direct contact cooler section 9. This tower has a lower steam-stripping section 13 which in this embodiment comprises two superposed communicating sections 9 and 13, however these may be separated. The cell gases leave the tower through line 12 while the water after stream stripping leaves through line 16 and may be re-cycled.
