Patent number: 8097232Abstract: A catalytic process for preparing chlorine from hydrogen chloride, which includes recycle of process streams with reduced accumulation of inert gases in the system is provided. The process includes a step wherein a compressed liquid stream comprising chlorine, carbon dioxide and oxygen is recycled into a column countercurrent to the ascending gas phase and feeding part of the chlorine-rich liquid phase leaving the bottom of the column back into the top of the column. Carbon dioxide present in the ascending gas stream is dissolved out of the gas stream and can later be separated from chlorine without problems by distillation.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2006Date of Patent: January 17, 2012Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Martin Sesing, Armin Diefenbacher, Hartwig Voss, Olga Schubert, Lothar Seidemann, Martin Karches, Thomas Grassler, Eckhard Stroefer
