The invention discloses a process for producing a chloroactic acid by large chlorinated kettles. Three chlorinated kettles of 'two main chlorinated kettles and one auxiliary chlorinated kettle' are utilized, a
tail gas which is discharged after main chlorinated kettles are subjected to a chlorination reaction is fed into the auxiliary kettle for the chlorination reaction, after the chlorination reaction, a chlorinated liquid is obtained, the chlorinated liquid is subjected to
crystallization and separation to obtain the chloroactic acid, an
acetic acid and a catalyst are added into the main kettles, the main kettles are jacketed and heated to 85 DEG C, and a
chlorine gas is fed into the main kettles in three stages for the continuous chlorination reaction. The invention simultaneously discloses the chlorinated kettles used for the process. The process for producing the chloroactic acid by the large chlorinated kettles and the chlorinated kettles used for the process have the advantages that a reasonable production process is provided for chloroactic
acid production by the large chlorinated kettles, the structure of the chlorinated kettles is improved, thereby the chlorination reaction can be fully and uniformly performed, the reaction time is shortened, a large-scale production requirement is met, the productivity and the product quality are improved, the amplification effect of
chemical industry production is avoided, the product purity can reach to above 98%, the yield coefficient based on the
acetic acid can reach to 91%, and the product quality reaches to the export
product standard.
