Enhancement of the Stability of Au-Cu/AC Acetylene Hydrochlorination Bimetallic Catalyst with Melamine Treated Support
Authors
Abstract:
This paper highlights the experimental and theoretical studies on the Melamine treated Active Carbon (MAC) support for an Au-Cu bimetallic catalyst in acetylene hydrochlorination reaction. Compared to the original Active Carbon (AC) loaded with the same amount of 0.1wt% Au and 1.0wt% Cu, MAC supported catalyst(MACH), wherein Carbon/C6H6N6 mass ratio was 5:3, exhibited excellent catalytic activity. The initial conversion of acetylene increased from 77.5% to 82.7% at 150℃ and atmospheric pressure. The gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) was 120h-1 under a feed volume ratio VHCl/VC2H2 of 1.05. As polymerization of acetylene on the catalyst was the main cause of deactivation, accelerated deactivation test was carried out. The result indicated MACH performed good anti-coking capacity. Based on the characterization by using BET, XRD, SEM, TGA, TPD and XPS techniques, the variation of O1s XPS spectra of the synthesized catalysts was observed that was in line with DFT results. It is postulated that the better stability and the better dispersion of gold actions were ascribed to the additional metal and the modified substrate. The electron transmission from the auxiliary and the elevated groups on the catalyst surface partially inhibited the reduction of the Au3+ active species. Meanwhile, the stronger adsorption energy of HCl was also beneficial to catalytic activity and stability.

The effect of gold oxidation state and carbon structure on the activity of Au/C catalyst for the hydrochlorination of acetylene was investigated by a combined approach using TPR, XPS and porosimetry determinations. The activity of the catalyst in the synthesis of vinyl chloride monomer was found to be dependent from the presence of Au 3+ species into the catalyst. However, by preparing catalyst...
