Abstract
A reactor for the synthesis of gaseous HCl from chlorine and hydrogen, including a convector and a furnace having in a bottom portion a burner supplied with chlorine and hydrogen in order to form gaseous HCl. The convector is arranged coaxially above the furnace, and includes a plurality of tubes in contact with a heat-transport fluid, the reactive gases of the furnace passing through the tubes. The heat-transport fluid flows in the space between the tubes, with a perforated tubular plate whereon are attached the tubes of the convector being arranged between the furnace and the convector. All of the inner walls of the reactor in contact with the gaseous HCl are made of a metal alloy, and in the furnace, at least one portion of the inner surfaces of the walls in contact with the gaseous HCl is made of an alloy comprising at least 20 wt % nickel.
