ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Ethylene Dichloride</b>. Ethylene dichloride (also known as 1,2-Dichloroethane, EDC and DCE) is by far the most produced chlorinated hydrocarbon. It is mainly employed in the production of vinyl chloride monomer (VCM), starting material for the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Virtually all commercial production of EDC is based on the chlorination of ethylene, where chlorine or hydrogen chloride with oxygen may be used as chlorinating agent. Chlorination based on chlorine is referred to as direct chlorination, and as oxychlorination when based on hydrogen chloride. Actually, while most of the EDC plants are integrated to vinyl chloride monomer plants, both processes are employed in parallel for EDC production, in such a way that the hydrogen chloride by-product from VCM production is consumed in the oxychlorination process.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Ethylene</b>. Ethylene is known as a key building block for the petrochemical industry, being one of the largest-volume petrochemical produced worldwide. It is widely used as chemical intermediate in the production of several end products, including plastics, resins and fibers. Ethylene is largely produced by thermal cracking of petroleum-based feedstocks, in the presence of steam. It is stored in a liquid state under high pressure or at low temperatures. However, ethylene is, most of times, directly supplied to its consumers.</p> <b>Chlorine</b>. Chlorine figures among the most important chemical commodities. It is an indispensable intermediate in the chemical industry, employed in the manufacture of a multitude of end products (e.g. materials of construction, solvents, pesticides, etc). Most of chlorine produced on commercial scale is based on electrolysis of aqueous sodium chloride (brine), which also generates caustic soda and hydrogen as co-products (chlor-alkali processes).</p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/181-A.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises two major sections: (1) Direct Chlorination; and (2) Purification.</p><p>Direct Chlorination. Chlorine and ethylene are fed to a high-temperature chlorination (HTC) reactor, filled with EDC as the reaction medium. The heat of the highly exothermal reaction is removed by boiling off EDC, and by the circulation of EDC which is recycled from the Product Column downstream. Ferric chloride (FeCl3) is used as catalyst. About 99% of ethylene and almost 100% of chlorine are converted, with high selectivity to EDC. Unavoidable side reactions generate polychlorinated compounds as by-products, mainly 1,1,2-trichloroethane. Among such by-products, the ones with boiling points higher than EDC are primarily withdrawn from the bottom of the reactor as a liquid stream. The gaseous effluent from the chlorination, containing the EDC product, is routed to purification steps downstream.</p><p>Purification. In this area, the gaseous effluent rich in EDC is passed through a heat exchanger, where it generates steam while being partially condensed by boiler feed water. The EDC-rich stream is then fed to a distillation column, where it is purified from residual by-products. The stream withdrawn from column overhead is then cooled in a cooling water condenser, yielding a liquid stream composed of EDC 99.5 wt% that is pumped to storage facilities located outside battery limits. Not condensed gases – mainly ethylene, nitrogen, chlorine, HCl, and residual water and EDC – are then passed through a second condenser using refrigerant fluid. After such second condensation step, uncondensed gases are routed to an incinerator located outside battery limits. The column bottom product composed of EDC and some polychlorinated compounds is recycled to the Direct Chlorination reactor. Part of this stream is purged to avoid the build-up of impurities.</p><p></p>
ICC - Short Description: This report presents a techno-economic analysis of Ethylene Dichloride (EDC) production from ethylene and chlorine in the United States using a direct chlorination process consisting in a liquid-phase high temperature chlorination (HTC). In this process, ethylene is chlorinated to EDC in liquid phase, using EDC itself as the solvent.
