Abstract

For conversion of HCl to Cl2 in a two-zone circulating fluidized bed reactor, a supported CuCl2 catalyst that contains 5% of copper can make the process have a long time smooth run with high activity. In this process, the optimal operation temperatures of oxychlorination zone and chlorination zone are 390-400°C and 200-240°C, respectively. With the decrease of the volume ratio of HCl to O2 or the WHSV of HCl, the conversion rate of HCl will increase.
