Beschreibungen/Notizen

• An iron/chlorine process with detailed flowsheeting is discussed. Mass and energy balances had been done to gain high efficiency. Results of 28–35% are achieved by an optimization of the HCl boiler system and by the high temperature heat balance requiring two paths for FeCl 2 hydrolysis. The dechlorination operates in two steps by means of a subcycle with carbon compounds. 35% efficiency is too low to guarantee economic feasibility but the development steps learned in this cycle should be valuable to other cycle studies.
