Composition requirements for liquid chlorine filling in liquid chlorine cylinders

2009-07-31View Original

Thread Content

Liquid chlorine cylinders require that the purity of the liquid chlorine filled in them be ≥99.6%, with a water content of ≤0.05%. Please discuss what consequences may arise if the purity is low. What happens if the moisture content is slightly too high? Everyone is welcome to engage in in-depth discussions; the forum will offer rewards of varying levels!

A low purity level indicates substandard product quality, which will lead to complaints from customers. :Lol, a high moisture content will accelerate the corrosion of chlorine gas cylinders; it doesn’t seem to have any negative effects. :lol

**Standard requirements for industrial liquid chlorine: purity of 99.6% or higher, and water content of 0.04% or less. Failures in the main content levels occur very rarely; excessive moisture content can exacerbate the corrosion of liquid chlorine cylinders. Sometimes, substandard indicators can also cause blockages in the valves of liquid chlorine cylinders, as well as corrosion inside these cylinders, which shortens their service life.

One of the purposes of liquefying chlorine is to obtain high-purity chlorine; if its purity is low, then why would people go through the process of liquefaction? My sister is right; if these two criteria are not met, the greatest risk is that you will produce products that do not meet the standards, which constitutes a quality issue. This can lead to claims from customers, and in some cases, it may even result in charges of producing fake or substandard products. In that case, your boss won’t flip you over and argue violently with you, right? What’s ultimately affected is your job. In fact, the hazards of high impurity levels not only affect the quality of the products for customers but also have a significant negative impact on one’s own production processes. For example, a high water content can cause corrosion in pipes and cylinders, leading to the blockage of pipeline valves, especially those inside the cylinders. Other impurities include sulfuric acid, which reacts with steel to produce what is known as \"sulfuric acid slag\", and this can also clog pipeline valves. The current chlorine drying processes represent a significant advancement over those of the past; in particular, the use of large turbines has led to an **improvement in the purity of chlorine**, as well as an **improvement in the quality of liquid chlorine**.

A high moisture content accelerates the corrosion of chlorine cylinders. It also depends on what is done with the vaporized liquid chlorine. If it is used for the synthesis of hydrogen chloride, it will directly affect the subsequent production volume and accelerate the corrosion of the equipment.

Highly corrosive water-containing pipelines, gas cylinders – low purity has a certain impact on filling time and safety

If the purity of chlorine is low, with impurities such as water present, it can corrode pipes and valves; it can also produce hypochlorous acid and nitrogen trichloride, posing safety risks

If the purity is low, 1) complaints regarding quality issues arise, and 2) other impurities in liquid chlorine increase, such as oxygen; water content, on the other hand, mainly causes corrosion of the steel cylinders
