Abstract:

Zeolite supported Cu-based mercury-free catalysts(Cu/HY) were prepared by incipient-wetness impregnation, and their catalytic performance for acetylene hydrochlorination was evaluated in a fixed reactor. The structure parameters and theory properties of the fresh and used catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS), inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy(ICP-AES), N2 adsorption and desorption isotherms(BET), thermogravimetry(TG), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray powder diffraction(XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS). The acetylene conversion reached 84%, the selectivity for vinyl chloride was more than 95% and a better stability was observed on Cu/HY mercury-free catalysts with 15%(mass fraction) Cu loading, under the reaction conditions of 160 ℃, 101.325 kPa, a total gas hourly space of 120 h-1, V(HCl)/V(C2H2)=1.25. Besides, the characterization results show that the generation of carbon deposition, the reduction, agglomeration and loss of Cu active components are the main reasons for the decrease of the catalyst activity.
