Abstract

A new process is developed by using compound Mn as intermediate to produce Cl₂ from HCl, with the following steps. (1) HCl steam is decomposed by intermediate Mn₂O₃ to produce Cl₂ and MnCl₂ at 500 °C. (2) Produced MnCl₂ is oxidized by water steam to produce MnO at 450 °C. (3) The MnO compound is oxidized by air to yield Mn₂O₃. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) crystallite characterization results indicate the high conversion in each step under the optimum experimental conditions. Long term experiments for continuous conversion of HCl to Cl₂ by using Mn₂O₃ as intermediate in a fixed bed reactor indicate that over 90% of HCl could be converted to Cl₂ on stream of 30 h. The production of Cl₂ from HCl with Mn compound as an intermediate and atmospheric steam is a feasible and recyclable process.
