he Deacon process uses hydrochloric acid and oxygen from air to
produce chlorine gas and
water. Air is fed into the reactor at about 35% excess, and the
fractional conversion to chlorine gas
is about 85%. Procurement needs to know how much acid to
purchase, and we are thinking about
using 37% w/w HCl (12M), which has an overall density of
1.19kg/L. How many litres of this 37%
w/w HCl should we purchase per week to get 100,000 litres (STP)...
