Material and thermal balance of production of synthetic hydrochloric acid

The process of production of synthetic hydrochloric acid by the method of dissolving gaseous hydrogen chloride in water is given, and hydrogen chloride, in turn, is obtained by burning hydrogen in chlorine, the target product is hydrochloric acid. The starting material is hydrogen and chlorine. The main technological equipment and technological process are considered and described. The practical calculation of the material and heat balance of production is made. The physical heats of arrival and consumption, heat from exothermic reactions, heat supplied from outside, the amount of natural gas necessary for external heating of the furnace are calculated. To calculate the heat balance, the formulas for determining the heat by specific heat, number of moles and temperature of substances are used. The results of calculations are presented in summary tables. The safety of the technological process of production of hydrochloric acid, the issues of labor protection and the environment was studied.
