The invention provides method and equipment for refining of
thionyl chloride. A gas mixture generated from a
thionyl chloride synthesis kettle is subjected to two steps of
sulfur mixing reaction in the process of purifying; particularly, the two steps of
sulfur mixing reaction includes firstly, directly introducing the gas mixture discharged from the
thionyl chloride synthesis kettle into a firstsulfur mixing kettle for realizing sulfuration, and purifying sulfuretted gas mixture through condensing and degassing to obtain crude
thionyl chloride product; secondly, arranging a secondary sulfuration
bed on the top of a rectifying apparatus, rectifying and purifying the crude
thionyl chloride product for secondary sulfuration, and arranging catalysts in the secondary sulfuration
bed. Since the gas discharged from the
thionyl chloride synthesis kettle is of high temperature, heating before
sulfur mixing reaction is omitted, equipment input is reduced, and
decomposition of thionyl chlorideduring heating is reduced; besides, sulfur and
drying agents are mixed and added, the circumstance of introducing
moisture along with adding of sulfur is avoided, content of
impurity of products is reduced, non-condensable gas in the production process is extracted fully, and
utilization rate of raw materials is increased.
