Hydrogen chloride hydrochloric acid flow rate!
Thread Content
We have a three-in-one furnace, and the flow meter is not very accurate. For 31% hydrochloric acid, with a daily production of 28 tons, what would be the approximate flow rates of hydrogen and chlorine? Hydrogen, chlorine with 99% purity, thank you!
31% hydrochloric acid, with a production volume of 28 tons per day; the amount of hydrogen chloride required is 28*31% = 8.68 tons. To produce 8.68 tons of hydrogen chloride, 99% chlorine is needed, which amounts to 8.68/36.5/0.99*35.5 = 8.527 tons. This corresponds to approximately 2690 NM3, or 112.10 NM3 per hour. 8.68 tons of hydrogen chloride require 99% hydrogen, which is calculated as 8.68/36.5/0.99*1 = 0.240 tons. If a 5%~10% excess of hydrogen is considered, the volume required is approximately 2824.5~2959 NM3, or 117.69~123.29 NM3 per hour.
There is only about 110 cubic meters of chlorine per hour, which is a very small amount; it’s not clear whether this falls within the 30% operational margin required for the synthesis furnace
